10) [line 2] PEROS SHEVI'IS
The Torah requires that farmers desist from working the land every seventh year, as described in Vayikra 25:1-7. The fruits that grow during the seventh (Shevi'is) year are holy to the extent that (1) they must be considered ownerless. Anyone may come into any field and pick the fruit that he intends to eat. (2) The fruits may not be bought and sold in a normal fashion. (3) The Torah also requires that they be eaten in the normal way for each fruit.
The Shemitah year is meant to teach the Jewish people to rely on HaSh-m for their sustenance, a fact that is not always clear to them during the six years in which they work their own fields.

11) [line 2] MI'MAKOM SHE'KALU - from a place where a certain fruit is unavailable [to the beasts of the field]

12) [line 4] CHAYAV L'VA'ER (SHEVI'IS: BI'UR)
(a) The fruits that grow in a Shemitah year must be treated as ownerless and anyone may pick them. (This does not exclude the owner of the field).
(b) One who harvests a crop of Shemitah fruit may only store it as long as that fruit is available to wild animals. This is learned from Vayikra 25:7. At the time that it is unavailable in the wild, he must perform Bi'ur. This includes removing all of that fruit from storage, placing it in a public domain and declaring it Hefker (Halachically ownerless) in front of three Jewish men. These men may even be the owner's friends, such that he is in the position to reclaim the fruit from Hefker.

20) [line 37] MASKULTA - (a) a balance scale that his wife rents out (RASHI); (b) spun thread that is sold by its weight. It is immodest to spin thread in public because his wife's forearms become uncovered during the process (TOSFOS, RABEINU CHANANEL)

21) [line 37] AGARTA - rent money [for the mill]
22) [line 37] AVDAH U'MEZABNAH - (a) if he buys and sells millstones (RASHI); (b) if his wife does her handiwork at home, and the products are sold by others, so that she need not enter the marketplace
