אַרְבַּע ״קָהָל״ כְּתִיבֵי.

English: Four times “kahal” is written.

In the sugya: The multiple appearances of the word “kahal” in the surrounding verses are mined for distinct legal implications concerning the identity and scope of the communal body.

Type of Learning

Multiple “kahal” diyukim — repeated “kahal” teaches several distinct points about communal liability.

What Is Learned

Each occurrence of “kahal” in the chapter supplies an independent teaching. The Gemara’s enumeration of four “kahal”s opens the door to multiple diyukim that refine who counts as the assembly, when its liability begins, and how its obligation is discharged.
