ב בשלמא לריש לקיש משום הכי קא פטר רבי שמעון דתניא רבי שמעון אומר כל שהוא למכות ולא אמרו כזית אלא לקרבן אלא לרבי יוחנן מאי טעמא דרבי שמעון דפטר
2 Granted, according to Resh Lakish, it is for this reason that R. Simeon exempts him; for we learnt, R. Simeon says: A minute quantity [imposes liability] for stripes; and it was not said that a ka-zayith is necessary except for [imposing liability for] a sacrifice. But, according to R. Johanan, what is R. Simon's reason for exempting him? - Is not the reason [that the Sages make him liable] because it is a more inclusive prohibition? R. Simeon is consistent in his view that a more inclusive prohibition cannot take effect; for it has been taught, R. Simeon Says: He who eats carrion on the Day of Atonement is exempt. Granted, according to Resh Lakish, it is possible to have it negative and positive; but, according to R. Johanan, granted that negative is possible, but how is positive possible? - Well then, [the Mishnah may be explained] in accordance with Raba's view, for Raba said: [If a man says,] 'I swear I shall not eat', and he ate dust, he is exempt. <br>
