Sotah 6:4 - Rabbi Joel Padowitz On The Mishnah

Sotah6: 4

עֵד אוֹמֵר נִטְמֵאת וְעֵד אוֹמֵר לֹא נִטְמֵאת, אִשָּׁה אוֹמֶרֶת נִטְמֵאת וְאִשָּׁה אוֹמֶרֶת לֹא נִטְמֵאת — הָיְתָה שׁוֹתָה. אֶחָד אוֹמֵר נִטְמֵאת וּשְׁנַיִם אוֹמְרִים לֹא נִטְמֵאת — הָיְתָה שׁוֹתָה. שְׁנַיִם אוֹמְרִים נִטְמֵאת וְאֶחָד אוֹמֵר לֹא נִטְמֵאת — לֹא הָיְתָה שׁוֹתָה.

[If] one witness says she was defiled and another says she was not defiled, [or] one woman says she was defiled and anoth-er says she was not defiled —- she drinks. [If] one says she was defiled and two says she was not defiled —- she drinks. [If] two say she was defiled and one says she was not defiled —- she does not drink.
