הגדרה (אנגלית)

Conducted an inquiry and discovered.

("That one may rescue the dead from a fire... Our rabbis taught: How far must one check? Up to his nose, and some say: Up to his heart. If he checked and found those above dead, he must not say: Those below are already dead. There was an incident where they found those above dead and those below alive" – Yoma 85a, and likewise: "The doctor checked them and found that they were all healthy and whole and all could travel to America" – Sholem Aleichem / The Wonders of Antwerp, 172)
