MISHNAH: If one of them was one-armed, or lame, or mute, or deaf, he cannot be tried as deviant and rebellious son, as it is said: 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 ones, 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 you.

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, as it is said : They shall go out, to exclude lame ones; and say , 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 physically.

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 first; therefore, one had to state this.
