3) [line 12] SHILO'ACH - the Shilo'ach spring (also known as Gichon) that is located to the south of the Temple Mount from which the water for the Nisuch ha'Mayim on Sukos was drawn. Our Gemara describes the process by which water was obtained for the seven days in which Mei Chatas was sprinkled on the Kohen who was to burn a Parah Adumah

(Tehilim 1:3) - This verse refers to the person who learns Torah day and night, mentioned in the previous verse, "whose leaf shall not whither." The leaf is the least prominent part of a tree, which teaches us that we can even learn from the mundane speech of a Torah scholar.
