14) [line 17] BI'MESARHEV BO CHAVEIRO ASKINAN - [we are dealing with a case] where his friend was urging, compelling him [to drink, using the words, Yayin, Shemen u'Devash]

15) [line 23] EINO CHAYAV ELA ACHAS (SHEVU'AS HA'PIKADON)
(a) If a person claims that a fellow Jew owes him money or is unjustly holding onto an item that belongs to him, the claimant has the right to force the accused to take an oath that he holds no such money. The oath that the accused takes to assert that he is not harboring someone else's money or item is called Shevu'as ha'Pikadon.
(b) If the accused later admits to his sin, he must return what he stole, pay a fine of Chomesh (a fifth of the ensuing total, or a *fourth* of the original value of the money he withheld) and bring a Korban Asham to receive atonement (Vayikra 5:20-26). However, he does not pay the fine of Chomesh, nor does he bring a Korban Asham, unless he *admits* to having sworn falsely, whether he admits before witnesses come and attest that he stole the item, or whether he admits after witnesses come. However, if witnesses testify that he swore falsely, and he does not admit to it, he does not pay a Chomesh and he does not bring a Korban Asham as atonement for his false Shevu'ah. (In certain circumstances he is even exempt from paying the principle of the item that he stole, see Background to Bava Kama 106a.)
(c) The obligation to pay a Chomesh and to bring an Asham that is incurred by swearing falsely applies whether he made a Shevu'ah due to the demand of Beis Din, who obligated him to make a Shevu'as ha'Pikadon, or whether he made a Shevu'ah, in Beis Din, on his own initiative ("Kafatz v'Nishba"), or whether he made a Shevu'ah outside of Beis Din (Bava Kama 106a).
(d) If the litigant makes several different claims that the accused is unjustly holding several items that belong to him, and he makes a false oath that he is not holding those items, he must bring a Korban Asham for each item of the claim if he specified each of the items in his oath. If he said about all of them, "I swear that I have nothing of yours in my possession," then he brings only one Korban Asham.

16) [line 25] PERUTAH MI'KULAN MITZTAREFES - in the case where the accused swore, "I swear that I have nothing of yours in my possession," and he brings only one Korban Asham, if he only stole a small amount of each item, the different items may be combined to reach the minimum amount of one Perutah's worth of stolen goods

17a) [line 27] A'PERATEI MICHAYEV; A'KELELEI LO MICHAYEIV - in the case where the accused swore, "I swear that I do not possess any Chitin or Se'orin, etc. of yours," he only brings a Korban Asham for each item of the claim, and not an additional Asham for the general words of the oath, "I swear that I do not possess..."
b) [line 28] A'KELALEI NAMI MICHAYEIV - he brings an additional Asham for the general words of the oath, "I swear that I do not possess..."

18) [line 30] IY MISHTABA V'HADAR MISHTABA MICHAYEIV TARTEI - if he were to swear in the case of Shevu'as ha'Pikadon and repeat the same oath, he is liable to bring two Korbenos Asham, one for each oath

19a) [line 39] REISHA BI'SETAM - the first clause quoted from our Mishnah refers to a case where he made a general statement, "I will not eat," including both Kosher and non-Kosher foods
b) [line 39] SEIFA BI'MEFARESH - the second clause quoted from our Mishnah refers to a case where he specified, "I will not eat Neveilos, Tereifos, Shekatzim and Remasim."
