Study Guide Shevuot 44

Does Shmuel’s opinion fit into a tannatic argument? 2 such arguments are brought but are rejected as the basis for their argument can be something else. Various oaths were instituted by the rabbis in unique cases to allow one to take an oath in order to receive a payment (the claimant), even though generally oaths are meant to exempt one from payment (for the defendant). These cases are the subject of the mishna.
