שתיהן במזיד אשניה מיחייב אראשונה פלוגתא דרבי יוחנן וריש לקיש

Efa learnt [the laws of] oaths in the school of Rabbah. His brother Abbimi met him, and asked him: [If one said,] 'I swear I have not eaten; I swear I have not eaten', [and he had eaten,] what is the ruling? - He replied: He is liable only once. He said to him: You are mistaken, for surely a false oath went forth [from his mouth]. - [He asked him again: If one said,] 'I swear I shall not eat nine [figs; I swear I shall not eat] ten [figs', and he ate ten figs], what is the ruling? - He replied: He is liable for each [oath]. - He said to him: You are mistaken, for if he will not eat nine, he will not eat ten. [He asked him again: If one said,] 'I swear I shall not eat ten [figs; I swear I shall not eat] nine [figs,' and he ate ten], what is the ruling? - He replied: He is liable only once. He said to him: You are mistaken: ten he would not eat, but nine he would eat. <br>
