Rabbi Joḥanan read , “They shall not be sold as bondsmen,” to prohibit abduction. The Gemara asked where Scripture formally prohibited abduction (as and state only the punishment). Rabbi Josiah said that (Exodus 20:13 in the NJPS), “You shalt not steal,” did so. Rabbi Joḥanan said that , “They shall not be sold as bondsmen,” did so. The Gemara harmonized the two teachings by interpreting Rabbi Josiah to state the prohibition for stealing (including abduction) and Rabbi Joḥanan to state the prohibition for selling the kidnapped person.
