(a) On what grounds does our Mishnah rule in a case where someone says 'Ish P'loni Yirshani' when he has a daughter, or 'Biti Tirshani' when he has a son 'Lo Amar K'lum'?

(b) What does Rebbi Yochanan ben Berokah say?

(c) What can we extrapolate from the words of the Tana Kama?

(d) What problem do we have with this from the Seifa of the Mishnah?

(a) We object to the answer that when Rebbi Yochanan ben Berokah says 'Ra'uy le'Yorsho', he means 'Acher' (Ach) be'Makom Bas' and 'Bas be'Makom Bein', on the basis of a Beraisa.
What does Rebbi Yishmael B'no shel Rebbi Yochanan ben Berokah comment there with regard to the Machlokes between his father and the Chachamim?

(b) How do we initially establish the Machlokes in our Mishnah, in view of Rebbi Yishmael B'no shel Rebbi Yochanan ben Berokah?

(c) We could explain that in the previous Mishnah, the Tana presents the case of Ben Bein ha'Banim, and in this Mishnah, that of Acher be'Makom Bas ... , in keeping with the principle 'Zu ve'Ein Tzrich Lomar Zu'.
Which is an alternative (and better) way of explaining it?

(d) What will Rebbi Yochanan ben Berokah rule in a case where someone bequeaths his property to his uncle, there where he has a daughter and a brother?

4)

(a) Rav Yehudah Amar Shmuel rules like Rebbi Yochanan ben Berokah. What does Rava say?

(b) Is this ruling confined to Ben Bein ha'Banim, or does it extend to Bas be'Makom Ben?

(c) Does it make any difference whether a man bequeaths half his property to one of his sons ...

1. ... or all of it?
2. ... orally or in writing?

(d) How do we reconcile this ruling with Shmuel, who will rule later, that someone who writes all his property to his wife or to one of his sons, he merely appoints them as an Apotropus? Why the difference?

(a) What does Rava learn from the Pasuk "ve'Hayah be'Yom Hanchilo es Banav"?

(b) Abaye queries Rava, because he learns it from the Pasuk "Lo Yuchal Le'vaker".
How does he learn Rebbi Yochanan ben Berokah's Din from there?

What does Aba Chanan Mishum Rebbi Eliezer learn from "Lo Yuchal Le'vaker"? What would we have otherwise learned from "va'Hayah be'Yom Hanchilo es Banav"?

(c) Which 'Kal va'Chomer' are we talking about?

(d) How have we now refuted Abaye's Kashya?

On what sort of ruling can one then rely?

(d) The Beraisa actually states two cases 'Ad she'Yomru Lo Halachah le'Ma'aseh; Sha'al ve'Amru Lo Halachah le'Ma'aseh, Yeilech ve'Ya'aseh Ma'aseh'.
What is the difference between them?

(c) What did Rebbi Yochanan reply when Rebbi Asi asked him whether they could learn from his theoretical rulings?

(d) Why would this fall away after his death?

(a) When the Tana then continues 'u'Vilevad she'Lo Yedameh', why can he not be generalizing?

(b) To which area of Halachah does Rav Ashi therefore ascribe it?

(a) What did Rava instruct Rav Papa and Rav Huna B'rei de'Rav Yehoshua to do in the event that they found an error in a ruling of his ...

1. ... during his lifetime? Why?
2. ... after his death? Why?

(b) What sort of ruling was he referring to? How come that it was in writing?
