(a) The Tana Kama of the Beraisa forbids taking wine, oil and flour ...

1. ... out of Eretz Yisrael.

On what grounds did he make a profit from oil?

(a) Another Beraisa forbids making a profit from eggs 'Pa'amayim'. Mari bar Mari cites a Machlokes between Rav and Shmuel. According to one of them, this means that it is forbidden to charge double what one paid for them. How will we reconcile this with Shmuel (himself), who forbids earning a profit of more than a sixth?

(b) According to the other one, the Beraisa forbids an egg-merchant to sell eggs to another egg-merchant (so that the second merchant makes an extra profit), whether with other commodities, if Reuven charges more, the purchaser will find someone who sells for less (though it is not clear why this S'vara does not apply to eggs too).

(b) Rav Chiya bar Avin cites Rebbi Yehoshua ben Korchah, who disagrees with Rebbi Shimon (quoted on the previous Amud). Chas ve'Shalom, he claims, that Elimelech, Machlon and Chilyon should have left Eretz Yisrael unlawfully. Then why were they punished?

What hint can we find in the two Pesukim "*Matzasi* David Avdi" (Tehilim) and "es Sh'tei Benosecha *ha'Nimtza'os* (Vayeira)? What is the connection between these two words?
