Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin 8:5

משנה: הָיָה אֶחָד מֵהֶם גִּידֵּם אוֹ חִיגֵּר אוֹ אִילֵּם אוֹ סוּמֶא אוֹ חֵרֵשׁ אֵינוֹ נַעֲשֶׂה בֵן סוֹרֵר וּמוֹרֶה שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר וְתָ֥פְשׂוּ ב֖וֹ אָבִ֣יו וְאִמּ֑וֹ וְלֹא גִידְּמִין. וְהוֹצִ֧יאוּ אֹת֛וֹ וְלֹא חִיגְּרִים וְאָֽמְר֞וּ וְלֹא אִלְּמִין בְּנֵנ֚וּ זֶה֙ וְלֹא סוּמִים אֵינֶ֥נּוּ שֹׁמֵעַ֭ בְּקֹלֵנ֑וּ וְלֹא חֵרְשִׁים. מַתְרִין בּוֹ בִּפְנֵי שְׁלשָׁה וּמַלְקִין אוֹתוֹ. חָזַר וְקִילְקֵל נִדּוֹן בְּעֶשְׂרִים וּשְׁלשָׁה. וְאֵינוֹ נִסְקַל עַד שֶׁיְּהוּ שָׁם שְׁלשָׁה הָרִאשׁוֹנִים שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר בְּנֵנ֚וּ זֶה֙ זֶה הוּא שֶׁלָּקָה בִּפְנֵיכֶם. MISHNAH: If one of them⁵²Of the parents. was one-armed, or lame, or mute, or deaf, he cannot be tried as deviant and rebellious son, as it is said:⁵³Deuteronomy.21.19">Deut. 21:19. His father and mother shall grab him, not one-armed ones, bring him out, not lame ones, and say, not mute ones, this son of ours, and not blind ones⁵⁴Blind persons cannot point their fingers at the accused, they cannot know where in the room he is., he does not listen to our voice, not deaf ones. One warns him before three [judges] and whips him. If he becomes a repeat offender, he is tried by 23 but cannot be stoned unless the original three were present, since it is said this son of ours, this is the one who was whipped before you⁵⁵The original judges become the witnesses who can testify to a proper warning given to the deviant son..

הלכה: הָיָה אֶחָד מֵהֶם גִּידֵּם כול׳. כְּשֵׁם שֶׁאַתְּ דּוֹרֵשׁ בְּאָבִיו וּבְאִמּוֹ כָּךְ אַתְּ דּוֹרֵשׁ בְּזִקְנֵי בֵית דִּין. שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר ויָֽצְא֖וּ פְּרָט לְחִיגְרִים. וְאָֽמְר֑וּ פְּרָט לְאִילְּמִים. יָדֵ֗ינוּ לֹ֤א שָֽׁפְכוּ֙ פְּרָט לְגִידְמִים. וְעֵינֵי֭נוּ לֹ֥א רָאֽוּ פְּרָט לְסוּמִין. מַגִּיד הַכָּתוּב כְּשֵׁם שֶׁזִּקְנֵי בֵית דִּין שְׁלֵימִין בְּצֶדֶק כָּךְ הֵם צְרִיכִין לִהְיוֹת שְׁלֵימִין בְּאֵיבָרֵיהֶן. HALAKHAH: “If one of them was one-armed.” etc. Just as one explains for his father and mother, so one explains for the Elders of the Court,⁵⁶The Supreme Court. as it is said ⁵⁷Deuteronomy.21.2">Deut. 21:2.: They shall go out, to exclude lame ones; and say ⁵⁸Deuteronomy.21.7">Deut. 21:7., to exclude mute ones; our hands did not spill, to exclude one-armed ones; and our eyes did not see, to exclude blind ones. The verse tells you that just as the Elders of the Court must be unblemished morally, so they must be unblemished physically⁵⁹Rejected by the Sanhedrin.36b">Babli, 36b. Moses, the president of the first Supreme Court, had a speech defect..

אָמַר רִבִּי יוֹחָנַן. מֵת אֶחָד מִן הָרִאשׁוֹנִים אֵינוֹ נִסְקַל. וְלֹא מַתְנִיתָא הִיא. אֵינוֹ נִסְקַל עַד שֶׁיְּהוּ שָׁם שְׁלשָׁה הָרִאשׁוֹנִים. אָמַר רִבִּי הוֹשַׁעְיָה. שֶׁלֹּא תֹאמַר. יֵעָשֶׂה דִין שֵׁינִי רִאשׁוֹן. לְפוּם כֵּן צָרַךְ מַתְנִיתָה. Rebbi Joḥanan said, if one of the first [judges] died, he cannot be stoned. Is that not the Mishnah: “he cannot be stoned unless the original three were present”? Rebbi Hoshaia said, you should not say that the second trial should become the first⁶⁰If a member of the original court had died, the second court cannot warn and whip the deviant son and set him up to be executed by a third court.; therefore, one had to state this.
