“And he denied it” — excluding one who admits the principal claim.
In the sugya: Full denial is required. One who admits the core debt (e.g., “I did not steal it; you deposited it with me — here it is”) is not within the verse’s “kichhesh.”
Type of Learning
Miyut of full denial — partial admission of the principal is excluded.
What Is Learned
Partial admission that leaves the core debt intact does not create shevuat ha-pikadon liability. Only a complete denial of the claim generates the asham structure.
