מ"ש מהא דתנן עדים החתומים על שדה מקח ועל גט אשה לא חשו חכמים לדבר זה היא גופה קמשמע לן לאפוקי ממ"ד מיאון בפני שנים קמשמע לן מיאון בג'

but had he been one of a group of two only. would he not [have been permitted]? Wherein, then, does this case differ from the following concerning which it was taught:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Cur. edd., we learned'. ');"><sup>29</sup></span> If witnesses signed on [a document relating to] a purchased field or on a letter of divorce, the Rabbis do not apprehend such collusion!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'this thing'. They do not, as a precaution against collusion, forbid the witnesses the subsequent purchase of the field from the buyer. or the marriage with the woman n whose divorce they assisted. This obviously shews that even a group of two is not to be suspected! ');"><sup>30</sup></span> — It is this very thing that he taught us,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' By mentioning Beth din which implies three members. ');"><sup>31</sup></span>
