Episode description

The daf begins with two mishnayot, basically, and they begin with a dispute between Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Yehudah over when to put the rebellious elder to death. Namely, did the public need to hear about his execution, or see it for themselves? 2 - False prophets and lesser falsities are executed by the court and in the hands of heaven, respectively. Plus, the adultery case or the betrothed case or conspiring witnesses against a daughter of a kohen - and their respective executions. Also, the Gemara elaborates on those categories of prophecy, which leads to Abraham's binding his son Isaac for sacrifice, and where does that message come from. Plus, an interpretation that refocuses the binding of Isaac on the son and his faith, over that of his father. With a taunting or dare factor to get the man of faith to lose his faith (spoiler: they don't) - including Job.
