Sanhedrin 52A

האי ״אביה היא מחללת״, מאי דריש ביה?

what does he derive from this verse: “She profanes her father” (Leviticus 21:9), if he does not employ the term “her father” for a verbal analogy concerning a young betrothed woman who committed adultery, as R' Akiva does?

מבעי ליה לכדתניא: היה רבי מאיר אומר, מה תלמוד לומר ״את אביה היא מחללת״? שאם היו נוהגין בו קודש ⁠– נוהגין בו חול, כבוד ⁠– נוהגין בו בזיון. אומרין: ״ארור שזו ילד, ארור שזו גידל, ארור שיצא זו מחלציו״.

The Talmud answers: He requires it for that which is taught in a baraita: R' Meir would say: Why must the verse state: “She profanes her father”? To teach that if initially they would treat her father in a sacred manner, now they treat him in a profane manner. If previously they would treat him with honor, they now treat him with degradation. They say: Cursed is the one who bore this daughter, cursed is the one who raised this daughter, cursed is the one from whose loins this daughter emerged.

אמר רב אשי: כמאן קרינן ״רשיעא בר רשיעא״, ואפילו לרשיעא בר צדיקא, כמאן? כהאי תנא.

Rav Ashi says: In accordance with whose opinion do we call even a wicked person who is the son of a righteous person: A wicked person, the son of a wicked person? In accordance with whose opinion is it? It is in accordance with the opinion of this tanna, R' Meir, who says that a sinful daughter profanes her father, and he too is treated with disgrace.

זו מצות הנסקלין. מאי תנא דקתני זו מצות הנסקלין?

§ The Mishnah teaches: This describes the mitzva of those who are stoned, i.e., the process of execution by stoning. The Talmud asks: What was taught in the Mishnah with regard to which it teaches now: This describes the mitzva of those who are stoned?

משום דתנא: נגמר הדין מוציאין אותו לסקלו. בית הסקילה היה גבוה שתי קומות. ואיידי דקא בעי למיתנא מצות הנשרפין, תנא נמי זו מצות הנסקלין.

The Talmud answers: The Mishnah states this because it teaches in the previous chapter (42b): When the trial has ended in a guilty verdict and the condemned man has been sentenced to stoning, he is taken out to be stoned. And it continues (45a): The place of stoning from which the condemned party is pushed to his death is a platform twice the height of an ordinary person. And since the Mishnah wants to teach in the next Mishnah: The mitzva of those who are burned, and it will then proceed to describe the processes involved in carrying out the other forms of execution, it also teaches in this Mishnah: This describes the mitzva of those who are stoned, in order to summarize what was taught up to this point.
