1)

(a) Rebbi Zeira initially learns the three (identical) Pesukim in Shir Hashirim "Hishba'ti Eschem B'nos Yerushalayim ... Im Ta'iru ve'Im Te'or'ru es ha'Ahavah" like Rebbi Yossi b'Rebbi Chanina.
Which three oaths does Rebbi Yossi b'Rebbi Chanina extrapolate from these three Pesukim, according to Rebbi Zeira?

(b) Rav Yehudah disagrees.
Which other prohibition does *he* learn from one of these Pesukim (as we learned above)?

(c) From where does Rav Yehudah then learn the double oath, one on Yisrael not to rebel, and the other, on the nations of the world not to exploit their authority over Yisrael?

(d) Rebbi Zeira concludes that in that case there are really *six* oaths (two in each Pasuk), which he goes on to explain like Rebbi Levi.
Which additional three oaths does Rebbi Levi extrapolate from these Pesukim?

3)

(a) According to Rebbi Elazar, the Pasuk in Yeshayah "u'Bal Yomar Shachen Chaleisi, ha'Am ha'Yoshev Bah Nesu Avon" teaches us that living in Eretz Yisrael serves as an atonement for all one's previous sins. What did Ravina comment to Rav Ashi with regard to that? How did *he* explain the Pasuk?

(b) What 'Gezeirah-Shavah' does Rav Anan learn from the Pasuk in Ha'azinu "ve'Chiper *Admaso* Amo" and that in Yisro "Mizbach *Adamah* Ta'aseh Li"?

(c) When they informed Rebbi Elazar that Ula, who was a frequent visitor to Eretz Yisrael, had died in Chutz la'Aretz, he expressed surprise that Ula should have died in a Tamei land.
What did he say when they told that his coffin had arrived in Eretz Yisrael?

(d) What did Rebbi Chanina say to that man who asked him whether he should travel to Bei Chuza'a in Bavel, in order to perform the Mitzvah of Yibum?

(a) Rav Yehudah Amar Shmuel placed traveling from *Bavel* to another country in the same category as traveling from Eretz Yisrael to another country.
Why did he say that?

(b) Did his statement include business trips?

(c) What did Rabah and Rav Yosef mean when they said 'Even from Pumbedisa to Bei Kuvi'?

(d) Rav Yosef placed in Cherem someone who moved from Pumbedisa to Bei Kuvi. What did Abaye say about a man who moved from Pumbedisa to Estonia and died?

(a) Rabah and Rav Yosef both stated that Eretz Yisrael took in the best of Bavel, and Bavel took in the best of its surrounding countries. They cannot have meant that the men of Bavel married the most Meyuchas families of Eretz Yisrael (thereby improving their own Yichus) and likewise the men of other countries married the most Meyuchas women of Bavel ... .
Why not?

(b) Then what did they mean?

(a) What does Rav Yehudah say about someone who lives in Bavel?

(b) Why will they call Hutzal of Binyamin (in Bavel) in the time of Mashi'ach 'Karna de'Sheizvasa'?

(c) What does Rebbi Elazar initially learn from the Pasuk in Yechezkel "ve'Nasati Tz'vi be'Eretz Chayim"?

(d) Rebbi Aba bar Mamal interprets the Pasuk in Yeshayah "Yichyu Meisecha Nivlasi Yekumun" to refer to the dead of Eretz Yisrael and the dead of Chutz la'Aretz respectively.
How does Rebbi Elazar interpret "Nivlasi Yekumun"?

(a) How does Rebbi Aba bar Mamal explain the Pasuk "ve'Nasati Tz'vi be'Eretz Chayim"? To whom does "Tz'vi" apply?

(b) Rebbi Elazar concedes to this explanation, and precludes the dead of Chutz la'Aretz from Techi'as ha'Meisim from the Pasuk in Yeshayah "Nosein Neshamah la'Am *Alehah* ... ". Rebbi Aba bar Mamal uses the Pasuk for the 'Gezeirah-Shavah' of Rebbi Avahu (between this Pasuk and the Pasuk in Vayeira "Sh'vu Lachem Poh *Im* ha'Chamor").
What does Rebbi Avahu learn from this 'Gezeirah-Shavah'?

(c) What does Rebbi Yirmiyah bar Aba Amar Rebbi Yochanan extrapolate from the end of the previous Pasuk " ... ve'Ru'ach la'Holchim Bah"?

(d) Does this mean that the Tzadikim in Chutz la'Aretz will not come to life at Techi'as ha'Meisim? What does Rebbi Ila'a contend?

(a) Rebbi Aba Sala Raba refutes Rebbi Ila'a's contention (that they will roll along tunnels), on the grounds that this is painful, and there seems no reason why Tzadikim should be made to suffer this pain.
So how does Abaye amend the answer?

(b) That being so, why did Ya'akov, and subsequently Yosef, find it necessary to trouble their children to carry them on the long journey to Eretz Yisrael? Why did they not rely on the tunnels?

(c) In their quest to induce Rabah to come and live in Eretz Yisrael, his brothers cited him the Sugya abut Ya'akov and Yosef.
What story did Ilfa add to that (about a man who fell in love with a woman in Chutz la'Aretz)?

(d) Which great Rebbe did they suggest he could learn from should he move to Eretz Yisrael?

(a) In the meantime, Rabah's brothers gave him some medical advice. On what grounds did they advise him not to ...

1. ... sit excessively?
2. ... stand excessively?
3. ... walk excessively?

(b) What did they ...

1. ... then advise him to do?
2. ... mean when they said that standing is always better than sitting
   (considering that standing, as we just explained, is bad for the heart)?

(c) And what did they mean when they said that Yitzchak. Shimon and Oshaya said one thing: 'Halachah ke'Rebbi Yehudah bi'P'reidos'!? What is the Din with regard to breeding a mule whose mother is an ass, (but whose father is a horse) with a donkey, according to ...

1. ... Rebbi Yehudah?
2. ... according to the Rabbanan?

(d) By Yitzchak, they meant Rebbi Yitzchak Nafcha, by Shimon, Rebbi Shimon ben Pazi or Resh Lakish.
Which Oshaya were they referring to?

10)

(a) What does Rebbi Elazar learn from the Pasuk in Yeshayah "Meisim bal Yichyu, Refa'im bal Yichyu"? What does "Refa'im refer to ...

1. ... according to him?
2. ... according to Rebbi Yochanan?

(b) Rebbi Elazar conceded this point to Rebbi Yochanan.
What did he then learn from another Pasuk in Yeshayah "Ki Tal Oros Talecha, ve'Eretz Refa'im Tapil"?

(a) When Rebbi Elazar noticed how upset this made Rebbi Yochanan, he consoled him by first quoting the Pasuk in Va'eschanan "ve'Atem ha'D'veikim be'Hashem Elokeichem Chayim Kul'chem ha'Yom".
Why can this Pasuk not be explained literally?

(b) How did he explain it? Which three things does it incorporate?

(c) And how did he then console Rebbi Yochanan, using the same idea?

(a) What does Rebbi Chiya bar Aba learn from the Pasuk in Tehilim "Vayatzitzu me'Ir ke'Eisev"? Which city is the Pasuk referring to?

(b) What does the Tana of the Beraisa extrapolate from a wheat-kernel (in connection with Techi'as ha'Meisim)? What would be the connection between a wheat- kernel and Techi'as ha'Meisim anyway?

(c) What does Rav Chiya bar Yosef learn from the Pasuk in Tehilim "Yehi Pisas Bar ba'Aretz"?

(d) The Tana of the Beraisa (who does not seem to agree with Rav Chiya bar Yosef's Derashah, informs us that these wheat-stalks will grow on top of the mountains like date-palms.
Does that mean that everyone will have to perform feats of mountaineering in order to collect their food?

(a) What does the Tana go on to learn from the Pasuk in Ha'azinu "Im Cheilev Kilyos Chitah"?

(b) This does not sound so surprising after we are told about the fox who bored a hole in a turnip to give birth to his brood inside it. How much did the remaining part of the turnip weigh?

(c) And what did ...

1. ... Rebbi Yossi testify about the man from Shichin, whose father left him three branches of mustard plant, when one of them broke off the main stem? How much did the mustard-seeds measure, and what did they manage to do with the wood of the branch?
2. ... Rebbi Shimon ben Chalafta (Rebbi Yossi's brother) testify about the stalk of cabbage which their father left them?

(a) What did Ravin learn from the Pasuk in Vayechi ...

1. ... "Osri la'Gefen Iyro"?
2. ... "ve'la'Soreikah B'ni, Asono"?

1. ... "Ki'bes ba'Yayin Levusho"?
2. ... "ve'Dam Einav Tishteh Chamer"?

(c) And what do we learn from ...

1. ... "Susoh"?
2. ... "Chachlili Einayim mi'Yayin"?
3. ... "u'L'ven Shinayim mei'Chalav"?

(d) How does Rav Dimi explain "Chachlili Einayim mi'Yayin, u'L'ven Shinayim mei'Chalav"? Based on "u'L'ven Shinayim mei'Chalav", how did Rebbi Yochanan put it?

(a) Why did Rav Chiya bar Ada come three days late? Why did this cause Resh Lakish to become concerned?

(b) How many clusters of grapes did he manage to pick on each of those days?
Does that mean that he picked the same amount each day?

(c) He actually left more than half of the harvest on the vine.
What did he do with that?
