Yosi Will Strike Yosi (Yosi Struck Yosi)/ Let them quarrel among themselves and beat one another!

In the question: That they may quarrel among themselves. Or: It refers to quarreling between a man and his brother. Or: A name for a person who brings evil upon himself (source: He who curses the Lord is stoned to death simply because he uttered the Lord's unique name, which is called the 'name of life.' When the witnesses came to testify against him, because of the glory of the Lord, they used the name 'Josei' in place of the names of the Lord, so as not to mention the name of the Lord. (Regarding the curse).

("Every day they judge the witnesses using the euphemism 'Yosi Will Strike Yosi.' Once the verdict has been reached, they do not execute [him] by the euphemism, but instead take everyone outside, ask the eldest among them, 'Tell us what you heard explicitly,' and he says it; and the judges stand on their feet and tear [their garments] and do not mend them" — Sanhedrin 56a)
