Bible Question:
How many members were in the Sanhedrin |
Bible Answer: God's day to you, Harcrow, and welcome to the SBF, According to Rabbinic tradition the Sanhedrin began when God gave the command for 70 of the people's elders and officers to meet with Moses ... a total of 71. The Mishnah (Sanhedrin 1:1) sets the number at 23. There was an odd number, so there would never be a tie in voting. I guess one could not abstain. Searcher |
