with the opinion of R. Akiba who holds that he is liable for [an oath] in the past as in the future. But you have said that the first statement is in accordance with R. Ishmael's view. Is the first statement, then, in accordance with R. Ishmael's view, and the second in accordance with R. Akiba's view! - [No!] It is entirely in accordance with R. Akiba's view; and the first statement is not intended to exclude '[I swear] I have eaten', '[I swear] I have not eaten' from a sacrifice, but to exclude '[swear] I shall eat', and he did not eat, from stripes; but for a sacrifice he is liable. Why should you prefer this? - It is reasonable that, since he is discussing the future, he should exclude the future; but, discussing the future, shall he exclude the past? <br>
