Answers to questions

21b---------------------------------------21b

7)

(a) Our Mishnah presents a case where someone receives eight Malkos for plowing one furrow. The first Isur is that of plowing with an ox and a donkey.
Why does the Tana not then add Malkiyos by referring to a number of oxen and donkeys?

(b) What does the Tana mean when he adds 've'Hein Mukdashin'? What La'av does this refer to regarding ...

  1. ... the ox?
  2. ... the donkey?
(c) The fourth, fifth and sixth La'avin are Kil'ayim be'Kerem, Shevi'is and Yom-tov.
What are the last two La'avin referred to by the Tana Kama?
8)
(a) On what grounds do the Rabbanan refute the opinion of Rebbi Chanina ben Chachinai, who adds that the sinner is also wearing Kil'ayim?

(b) How does Rebbi Chanina ben Chachinai counter their argument?

(c) How does Rav Bibi Amar Rebbi Yossi qualify the Halachah in our Mishnah (concerning Kil'ayim) 'Poshet ve'Lovesh, Chayav al Kol Achas ve'Achas'?

(d) According to Rav Acha B'rei de'Rav Ika, he actually has to remove the sleeve and put it on again.
What does Rav Ashi say?

9)
(a) What did Rebbi Yanai say about 'ha'Chofeh (or 'ha'Mechapeh') be'Kil'ayim'? What does 'ha'Chofeh be'Kil'ayim' mean?

(b) On what occasion did he say this?

(c) When Rebbi Yochanan asked whether that is not what our Mishnah means when it says 'ha'Choresh ... u'va'Shevi'is', what did Rebbi Yanai reply?

10)
(a) Resh Lakish was not impressed with Rebbi Yanai's praise of Rebbi Yochanan.
Why not? Who would then be the author?

(b) The Beraisa says 'ha'Menachesh (someone who weeds) ve'ha'Mechapeh be'Kil'ayim, Lokeh'.
What is the basis for 'Mechapeh'? Who is the author of the Beraisa"

(c) Rebbi Akiva actually concludes 'Af ha'Mekayem'.
What do the Chachachim who argue with him, say?

(d) Based on the Pasuk in Kedoshim "Behemt'cha Lo Sarbi'a Kil'ayim, Sadcha Lo Sizra Kil'ayim", what is Rebbi Akiva's source?

11)
(a) Ula asked Rav Nachman why the Tana omitted someone who sowed on Yom-Tov. How does Ula interpret 'ha'Chofeh be'Kil'ayim' in light of the previous Sugya, for his Kashya to be relevant?

(b) On what grounds does Ula reject Rav Nachman's answer that the Tana omitted it because of the principle 'Tana ve'Shiyer' (the Tana learns some things, and omits others)?

(c) So how did Rabah explain the omission? What distinction did he draw between Shabbos and Yom-Tov that will explain it?

(d) What is the source for Rabah's distinction?

(e) What did Ula mean when, following Rabah's explanation, he said 'Ada Tehei'?

12)
(a) How many sets of Malkos does the Beraisa prescribe for someone who cooks a Gid ha'Nasheh in milk on Yom-Tov and then eats it?

(b) He is Chayav for eating Gid ha'Nasheh and for cooking unnecessarily on Yom-Tov.
What are the other three Malkos for?

(c) What Kashya does Abaye ask from this Beraisa on Rabah's previous explanation?

(d) To answer Abaye's Kashya, we initially establish the Beraisa by the Gid ha'Nasheh of a Neveilah, and switch the fifth Malkos from 'Hav'arah' to 'Neveilah'.
On what grounds do we reject this answer? What did Rebbi Chiya, quoting another Beraisa, say about the composition of the Beraisa under discussion, that clashes with it?

13)
(a) So we change the switch from the La'av of Neveilah to that of using the wood of an Asheirah (an idol-tree).
What is the source of this La'av?

(b) What does Rav Acha B'rei de'Rava ask on this from the Pasuk in Va'eschanan "ve'Lo Savi So'eivah el Beisecha"?

(c) So we finally establish the fifth set of Malkos, based on the Pasuk "va'Ashereihem Tisrefun ba'Eish ... Lo Sa'asun Kein la'Hashem Elokecha".
What did the sinner then do in order to transgress this La'av?
