(c) And what does he learn from the Pasuk in Re'ei "Yetzav Hashem Itcha es ha'B'rachah *ba'Asamecha*"?

(d) How does Tana de'Bei Rebbi Yishmael explain the same Pasuk?

(a) The Beraisa instructs someone who goes to measure the grain in his granary (in order to Ma'aser it), to pray that Hashem sends a blessing to those crops.
What should he say as he begins to measure it?

(b) What is the value of a B'rachah that he recites after having measured his crops?

(c) Which three things does 'Ein ha'B'rachah Metzuyah Ela be'Davar ha'Samuy min ha'Ayin' incorporate?

3. ... T'fucha'i (wall-tappers)?

(b) What Shiur does Raban Shimon ben Gamliel give to exempt the owner of Chametz from searching for Chametz on top of which a wall collapsed?

(d) Then how deep in the ground does Shmuel require the money to be?

(a) What happened to the money that a Shomer had been given for safekeeping and which he hid in a hunter's hut?

7)

(a) What happened to the money that the Shomer to whom it was given for safekeeping gave to his mother?

(b) Why did Rava not consider ...

1. ... the Shomer liable for giving the money to his mother?
2. ... the mother liable for placing the money in a box rather than in the ground?
3. ... the Shomer liable for not informing his mother that the money was not his?

(c) What *did* Rava therefore rule?

(b) This time it was Rami bar Chama who was in a quandary.
Why did he not consider ...

(b) What was he claiming?

(c) What did Rami bar Chama rule?

(d) How much is 'D'mei Basar be'Zol'?

(a) Seeing as the cowhand was not the Shomer of the middle-man, on what grounds was he obligated to pay him? Why could he not refuse to deal with him?

(c) Why the difference between the two cases?

(a) What happened when Reuven handed Shimon a pile of hops to look after, and Shimon instructed his servant to fetch him some hops from his own pile?

(b) Why did Rav Amram not obligate ...

1. ... Shimon to pay?
2. ... the servant?

(c) In which case would Rav Amram have held Shimon liable?

(a) What problem do we have with the fact that, when all's said and done, Shimon benefited from Reuven's hops? So what if he did?

How does Rav Ashi answer the Kashya?
