Pesachim 47
***************GIRSA SECTION********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, Rav B. Rensburg
and the parenthetical marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is
devoted to any *OTHER* changes that we feel ought to be made in Gemara,
Rashi or Tosfos.)
[1] Gemara 47b [line 2]:
"b'Avanim Mekurzalos"
Rashi is not Gores the word Mekurzalos (see Tosfos DH b'Avanim Mekurzalos)
************************************************
1) [line 14] SHTEI HA'LECHEM
The Shtei ha'Lechem is an offering of two loaves of bread (that are Chametz)
which is brought on Shavuos. It is baked from the newly grown wheat (Vayikra
23:17). One loaf is given to the Kohen Gadol and the other is divided among
the rest of the Kohanim in the Mikdash at the time. They are eaten on the
day of Shavuos and the night afterwards, until midnight (RAMBAM Hilchos
Temidin u'Musafin 8:11).
*2*) [line 21] D'YOM TOV B'YOM TOV MIBA'I - that is, it is certainly
permitted to cook something which is prohibited during this part of Yom Tov,
if it will become permitted later on during this Yom Tov.
3) [line 27] TELEM - furrow
47b---------------------------------------47b
4) [line 1] A'BEIS HA'TUM'AH - in a cemetery
*5*) [line 2] HO'IL V'CHAZI L'KISUY DAM TZIPOR - (it is not clear how the
principle of "Ho'il" applies here -- see Insights)
6) [line 3] KISUY DAM TZIPOR
There is a Mitzvah to cover the blood of all birds and wild animals (Chayos)
that are slaughtered, as it states in Vayikra (17:13) "v'Ish Ish ... Asher
Yatzud Tzeid Chayah O Of Asher Ye'achel, v'Shafach Es Damo v'Chisahu
b'Afar." The blood must be covered from above and below with earth or any
similar granular substance.
7) [line 4] AVANIM MEKURZALOS - soft stones
8) [line 6] TZUNMA - very hard soil
*9*) [line 7] V'TEIFUK LEI MISHUM AFAR TICHO'ACH - why can't the principle
of Ho'il be applied because of the soft dirt under the hard dirt, which can
be used for covering the blood of a bird?
10) [line 8] TINA - mud
11) [line 9] MESUNTA - moist land (which does not crumble into powder when
crushed)
12) [line 10] GID HA'NASHEH
(a) The Gid ha'Nasheh is the sciatic nerve, the large main nerve of the
lower extremity, running down the back of the leg. Eating the part of the
Gid ha'Nasheh that is located on the rounded part of flesh ("Kaf") that sits
on the hipbone is prohibited by the Torah (Bereishis 32:33).
(b) This prohibition applies only to wild or domestic four-legged animals
but not to birds. The Tana'im argue whether it applies only to the right leg
or to the left leg as well.
(c) Besides the Gid that is prohibited by the Torah, the Rabanan prohibited
certain nearby fats and nerves.
13) [line 26] ME'AFAR - from a pasture-ground, meadow
14) [line 26] U'SHECHATO TAMID - and he slaughtered it as a Korban Tamid

L'MINCHAH UL'OLAH VELI'SHELAMIM L'CHAPER ALEIHEM" - "And one lamb out of the
flock, out of two hundred, out of the well watered pastures of Yisra'el, for
a Korban Minchah and for a Korban Olah and for Korbenos Shelamim, to atone
for them" (Yechezkel 45:15)
16) [last line] PALGAS - a lamb in its thirteenth month. During its first
year it is called a Keves. After a month of its second year has passed, it
is called an Ayil.
