Pesachim 111

***************GIRSA SECTION********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, Rav B. Rensburg and the parenthetical marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is devoted to any *OTHER* changes that we feel ought to be made in Gemara, Rashi or Tosfos.)

[1] Rashbam 111a DH Chutz:
The Dibur ha'Maschil should be "Chutz *Min ha'Mayim*"

[2] Gemara 111b [line 7]:
The words Tula *d'Kanda*
should be Tula *d'Kinra*
This is the Girsa in the manuscripts, Aruch and Menoras ha'Ma'or (Dikdukei
Sofrim #60). It also complies with the Gemara Bava Basra 48b.

[3] Gemara 111b [line 14]:
The words "d'Katil l'Avuch v'Katil *l'Didei*"
should be "d'Katil l'Avuch v'Katil *Nami l'Didach*"
This is the Girsa in the Pesachim-Yuma-Chagigah manuscript (Dikdukei Sofrim #80)

[4] Gemara 111b [line 27]:
The words "u'Mechezei *Bei Kada* d'Kamcha"
should be "u'Mechezei *k'Kada* d'Kamcha" (see Dikdukei Sofrim #6)

[5] Gemara 111b [line 28]:
The words "u'Mechezei *Bei Karna* d'Iza, v'Hadar *Bei k'Nafya*"
should be "u'Mechezei *k'Karna* d'Iza, v'Hadar *Bei (spelled Beis Yud)
Nafya*" (Dikdukei Sofrim #8)
See Bamidbar Rabah 12:3
