just as there death was at the hands of Heaven, so here too. R. Akiba said: It is here written, And the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death; whilst it is elsewhere said, And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deut. XIII, 6. ');">¹⁵</span> just as there, it is by stoning, so here too. R. Johanan b. Nuri said: Just as there, it is by strangling, so here too. Wherein do R. Ishmael and R. Akiba differ? — R. Akiba maintains, 'shall be put to death' must be compared with 'shall be put to death' but not with 'shall die'.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. verses quoted. ');">¹⁶</span> Whilst R. Ishmael maintains, a layman must be compared to a layman, but not to a prophet. But R. Akiba avers, Since he seduced, no man is more of a layman than he.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., he has lost all claims to the prophetic title. ');">¹⁷</span> Wherein, do R. Akiba and R. Johanan b. Nuri differ? — In the dispute of R. Simeon and the Rabbis. For it has been taught: If a prophet seduced, he is stoned; R. Simeon said: he is strangled. But we learnt, R. AKIBA SAID, HE [THE ZAR] IS STRANGLED?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which contradicts the passage quoted where R. Akiba says that he is stoned.

Simeon's view<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' That the false prophet is strangled, and from this he derives the law of a zar. ');">¹⁹</span> as to R. Akiba's ruling; whilst the Baraitha [stating that the zar is stoned, and that this is derived from the false prophet] gives the Rabbis' view as to R. Akiba's ruling.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Both the Rabbis here mentioned and R. Simeon being R. Akiba's disciples. ');">²⁰</span>
