A caravan of donkeys or of camels which passes from place to place saves them368The Yerushalmi gives no indication as to what this means. The Sanhedrin.112a">Babli (112a) holds that temporary residents after 30 days become voting citizens of the town; if they do not follow the permanent inhabitants into apostasy, they will deprive the apostates of a majority and the rules of the seduced town cannot be applied. But it might be that the Yerushalmi follows Sifry Deut. 94 that if at the moment of judgment there are people in town to whom the judgment does not apply, it cannot be executed since the verse requires that only the inhabitants of that town be killed.. Destroy it and all which is in it, including its domestic animals369As property, cf. Sanhedrin 10:6:2" href="/Jerusalem_Talmud_Sanhedrin.10.6.2">Note 363.,by the sword. From here they said, the properties of just people in its midst are lost, what is outside escapes; that of evildoers both inside and outside is lost.

HALAKHAH: Slaying you shall slay the inhabitants of that town by the sword, etc. 370Sanhedrin 14:2" href="/Tosefta_Sanhedrin.14.2">Tosephta 14:5. Rebbi Simeon says, its domesticated animal, not first born or tithes found there; its booty, not Temple money or Second Tithe found there371All the items enumerated are Heaven’s property. While the second part of the verse insists that the town’s property must be destroyed, Heaven’s property cannot be destroyed. The disposal of Heaven’s property is discussed in Sanhedrin 10:8:1" href="/Jerusalem_Talmud_Sanhedrin.10.8.1">Mishnah 9. Sanhedrin.112b">Babli 112b.. Rebbi Yose ben Ḥanina asked: What is the status of hair of its just women372Since a woman could cut off her hair and sell it to a wig-maker, it represents value. Should the woman be forced to cut off her hair before she is forced to leave town following the conviction of the town for organized idolatry? Since Temple money must be taken out undamaged, so the just woman must be taken out unhurt. The Sanhedrin.112a">Babli, 112a, somewhat disagrees.? Let us hear from the following: Rebbi Simeon says, its domesticated animal, not first born or tithes found there; its booty, not Temple money or Second Tithe found there. The sancta of a seduced town373Once an animal has been dedicated as sacrifice, all private use of it is larceny (Leviticus.5.14-16">Lev.5:14–16)., Rebbi Joḥanan said, one cannot commit larceny with them; Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, one can commit larceny with them. Rebbi Joḥanan objected to Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: According to your opinion that one can commit larceny with them, should one not state that “six purification offerings are left to die”374Temurah 4:1" href="/Mishnah_Temurah.4.1">Mishnah Temurah 4:1 enumerates 5 kinds of purification offerings which can neither be redeemed nor sacrificed. An animal dedicated by an idolator of a seduced town should be added as sixth kind. Sanhedrin.112a">Babli 112a.? He answered, because in this case even an elevation offering dies375Temurah 4:1" href="/Mishnah_Temurah.4.1">Mishnah Temurah 4:1 only treats cases particular to purification offerings.. Rebbi Hila in the name of Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: One can commit larceny with them because of sancta of an apostate. Should they not be sacrificed? Because of the sacrifice of an evildoer is an abomination376Proverbs.21.27">Prov. 21:27. The Chullin.5a">Babli, Hulin 5a, finds the same result in Leviticus.1.2">Lev. 1:2.. Rebbi Uqba said, also in the following they disagree: 377Bava qamma 4:9, Notes 122–125 If a bull was led out to be stoned when its witnesses were found to be perjured, Rebbi Joḥanan said, the first to come acquires it; Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, it was false despair. Similarly, if a slave was led out to be executed when its witnesses were found to be perjured, Rebbi Joḥanan said, he acquired himself; Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, it was false despair.
