4) [line 23] KOL HA'BATIM MITAM'IN B'NEGA'IM (NIG'EI BATIM - Tzara'as that infects houses)
(a) The marks of Tzara'as for houses consist of intense green or intense red streaks or spots that are at least the size of two Gerisin (a Gris is a Cilician bean, approximately the size of a dime) (Nega'im 12:3). If Tzara'as is found on the walls of a house, it is put into quarantine by a Kohen for a week. Before the Kohen puts the house into quarantine, he commands that the house be emptied of its contents to prevent its utensils from becoming Tamei.
(b) The Torah states (Vayikra 14:39) "v'*Shav* ha'Kohen," to prescribe that the Kohen *return* six days later to check the house. If the Tzara'as has spread, one must remove (Choletz) the stones with Tzara'as from the house, scrape off the surrounding plaster, insert new stones and re-plaster the entire house. The house is then put into quarantine for another week. If the Tzara'as returns to the house during the following week, the owner must dismantle (Notetz) the entire house (Vayikra 14:45). The stones from the house must be taken out of the city, and they remain Asur b'Hana'ah forever.
(c) On the other hand, if the Tzara'as did not change after the first week, the Kohen leaves it as is and returns again six days later. The verse states (Vayikra 14:44) "u'*Va* Ha'kohen," which means "if, when the Kohen *comes* back to the house to inspect it a second time, he finds that the spot of Tzara'as has spread, the house is Tamei." Chazal teach that this verse is referring to a spot of Tzara'as that does *not* spread during its first week. The Kohen "comes back to the house" after a second week to see whether the spot has spread, remains, or has disappeared. If the Tzara'as has *either* spread *or* remained, one must remove (Choletz) the stones with Tzara'as from the house, scrape off the surrounding plaster, insert new stones and re-plaster the entire house. The house is then put into quarantine for another week (Vayikra 14:40). If the Tzara'as returns to the house during the following week, the owner must dismantle (Notetz) the entire house (Vayikra 14:45). The stones from the house must be taken out of the city, and they remain Asur b'Hana'ah forever.
(d) Even though the words "v'Shav" and "u'Va" are not identical, they are referring to the same action; namely, the Kohen entering the house to inspect it. This relates the two verses to each other with a Gezerah Shavah. Just as the house is not dismantled if the Tzara'as spreads during the first week -- unless the stones are scraped and the Tzara'as returned to the house after a week of quarantine -- so, too, the house is not dismantled if the Tzara'as spread during the second week unless it returns to the house after the quarantine period that follows the scraping.
(e) If during one of the inspections at the end of the first or second week the Kohen finds that the Tzara'as has disappeared or diminished in intensity such that it can no longer be classified as a Nega, the location of the spot alone is scraped and the house is declared Tahor after the owner follows the procedure for being Metaher houses (see Background to Sukah 13:11:IV). (RAMBAM Hilchos Tum'as Tzara'as 15:2)

5) [line 17] V'YATZ'AH V'HAYESAH - Geirushin and Kidushin are compared to each other through a Hekesh (Kesuvos 47a, Kidushin 5a) in the verse "v'Yatz'ah [mi'Beiso; v'Halchah] v'Hayesah [l'Ish Acher.]" - "And she will leave [his house (the house of her first husband)] and she will be [a wife to another man.]" (Devarim 24:2) - The word "v'Yatz'ah ("and she will leave") refers to Geirushin and "v'Hayesah" ("and she will be") refers to Kidushin.

6) [line 21] HADAR PASHTAH - he subsequently answered it

7) [line 25] V'EIN ANI KOREI VAH "ESHES SHNEI MESIM" - and I do not consider this to be a case of "the wife of two dead men"
An example of this Halachah is a case where three brothers are married to three unrelated women and one of the brothers died. One of the surviving brothers performs Ma'amar (see Background to Nedarim 74:4) on the wife of the deceased and dies before he performs Yibum (see Background to Gitin 72:3). The third brother is only permitted to perform Chalitzah (see Background to Gitin ibid.) with the wife of the deceased since the verse states, "u'Mes *Echad* Mehem" - "and *one* of them dies" (Devarim 25:5). Yibum can only be performed upon a woman who has a connection to one dead man, and not two. (Chalitzah, however, must be performed to neutralize the Zikah (see Background to Gitin ibid.) and permit her to marry whomever she wishes.)

8) [line 27] AHANU - had an effect [of prohibiting her to all men besides Shimon]
