Nedarim 65
1) [line 9] ARNEVA - a hare
2) [line 10] D'LO MEGALIS ILAVAI - that you will not reveal it (this incident)
against me
3) [line 10] V'LO TEIFUK MILSA - so that the word does not get out
4) [line 11] HAVAH KA MITZTA'ER TZIDKIYAHU B'GUFEI - Tzidkiyahu experienced physical
anguish [since
he could not reveal the incident because of the oath, and he ardently sought the
opportunity to have the
entire world scoff at Nevuchadnetzar (MEFARESH) to provoke a world rebellion -- MK]
5) [line 15] BI'SHEMA DI'SHEMAYA - in the name of Heaven
6) [line 20] "YESHVU LA'ARETZ YIDMU ZIKNEI VAS TZIYON..." - "The elders of the
daughter of Tziyon sit
upon the ground, and keep silence; [they have cast up dust upon their heads; they
have girded themselves
with sackcloth; the virgins of Yerushalayim bow down their heads to the ground.]"
(Eichah 2:10)
7) [line 22] SHE'SHAMTU KARIM MI'TACHTEIHEM - they removed their cushions from

10) [line 19] MAI D'AMTI LI L'FARNESO BA'HADI KULEI ALMA, MEFARNASNA LEI - my part in
supporting him
that I share with the community, I will provide for him (The Ran explains that the
Mudar Hana'ah may benefit
from this money because the Madir gives the money to the Gabai Tzedakah who has the
right to give the
money to any needy person of the community, not necessarily the Mudar.)
11) [line 35] EIN MESADRIN L'VA'AL CHOV - [upon collection of a debt,] Beis Din does
not leave a destitute
debtor [even] with his minimal needs
(a) When Beis Din collects from a person his pledges to *Hekdesh* ("Erchin" -- see
Background to Kesuvos
54:11), it is learned from a verse that Beis Din does *not* take every last cent of
the person who pledged.
Rather, they leave a destitute person with his minimal needs.
(b) There is a Machlokes Amora'im (Bava Metzi'a 114a) as to whether or not Beis Din
may force a destitute
debtor to pay a *normal debt* that he owes to his friend even if he must give up his
minimal needs in order
to pay it.
(c) A person's minimal needs are a bed, a mat upon which to sit, the tools of his
trade, food for a month and
clothing that will last one year.
