Answers to questions
2b---------------------------------------2b
4)
(a) What does 'Shevu'os Shetayim she'Hen Arba' mean?
(b) What does 'Yedi'os ha'Tum'ah Shetayim she'Hen Arba' mean?
(c) What are the initial two Mar'os Nega'im, what are the remaining two,
and from which word in the Torah do we learn them?
5)
(a) Our Mishnah elaborates 'two which are four for the one inside, and two
which are four for the one outside' whilst in Shevu'os, the Mishnah just
writes 'two which are four'.
The Gemara asks this question, and answers that the Mishnah in Shevu'os
confines itself to the Avos, whereas *our* Mishnah also includes the
Toldos.
What is wrong with that answer, and why can we not explain that it mentions
all the Avos (the Yetzi'os), some le'Chiyuv, and some li'Petur ?
(b) What does the Gemara finally answer?
(c) Why are Yetzi'os considered Avos, and Hachnasos, Toldos?
6)
(a) The Gemara brings a proof from both the Mishnah in K'lal Gadol and from
our Mishnah, that the Tana refers to Hachnasos as Yetzi'os. What are the
proofs?
(b) How does Rava refute that proof?
