Core Text of Chazal

Core Text
תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: חַיָּיב כָּרֵת עַל הָרִאשׁוֹן, וְחַיָּיב כָּרֵת עַל הַשֵּׁנִי, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי.

English: The Sages taught: liable for kares on the first, and liable for kares on the second — the words of Rabbi.

Type of Learning

Independent liability — each month can generate its own kares when the conditions of willfulness are met.

What Is Learned

The two opportunities are not a single fused obligation; each has its own force.
