1) [line 4] SHEVU'AS HA'EDUS
(a) One of the litigants in a court case has the right to force a person to
take an oath when he feels that the person is concealing testimony about the
case. The oath that the alleged witness takes to claim that he is not
harboring any testimony is called a Shevu'as ha'Edus (Vayikra 5:1).
(b) For example, a person asks two witnesses to testify on his behalf, in
order to oblige the opposing litigant to pay him. The witnesses deny all
knowledge of the case and even swear in court to that effect. If they admit
afterwards that they did know testimony, they must bring a Korban Oleh
v'Yored. If they are wealthy they each bring a female sheep or female goat.
If they cannot afford the animal, they may each bring two turtledoves or two
common doves, one as a Chatas and one as an Olah. If they cannot even afford
birds, they may each bring an offering of 1/10 of an Eifah of flour as a
Minchas Chatas (ibid. 5:5-13).
2) [line 7] MESACHEK B'KUVYA - a person who gambles with dice
*3*) [line 19] V'IY BA'IS EIMA, KI KETANI ASUR - [the Gemara is returning to
the question asked at the beginning of the Perek: Why does the Mishnah say
"Asur" as opposed to "Chayav Kares?" (RASHI; see RASHASH for another
approach)]
*4a*) [line 19] D'TANU RABAH V'RAV YOSEF B'SHE'AR SIFREI D'VEI RAV - [the
Gemara is bringing this as a proof that the other Inuyim are also d'Oraisa
and are not just mid'Rabanan -- RAV ELAZAR MOSHE HOROWITZ, in his Hagahos
printed in the Vilna Shas. The Dikdukei Sofrim mentions that in some texts,
the Gemara reads "*Tanu* Rabanan," rather than "*d'Tanu* Rabanan." According
to this Girsa, the Beraisa is not being cited as a proof for the Gemara's
previous statement. The Gemara is simply quoting a Beraisa that is related
to our Mishnah.]
b) [line 20] SHE'AR SIFREI D'VEI RAV - the Halachic Midrash "Sifri," that
expounds the verses in Bamidbar and Devarim
5) [line 25] D'CHAZI L'ITZTERUFEI - that is fit to be combined
6) [line 29] KOY - There is a Machlokes Tana'im (Chullin 80a) as to which
animal Chazal (Mishnah Chullin 83b, etc.) refer to as a "Koy." Usually the
term is used to refer to an animal that shows signs of being both a
domesticated animal (Behemah) and a wild animal (Chayah).
7) [line 33] ITZTERICH KERA L'ASUYEI SEFEIKA? - is a verse needed to forbid
something that has a doubtful status, such as the Chelev of a Koy?
74b---------------------------------------74b
8) [line 1] KOY, BERYAH BIFNEI ATZMAH HI - a Koy is a species in and of
itself; i.e. neither Chayah nor Behemah
9) [line 10] V'CHAYIM LEI - and it becomes oppressively hot for him
10) [line 10] KUM, TUV B'TULA - get up and sit in the shade
11a) [line 18] PIGUL, NOSAR, TEVEL, ETC. - that is, these are forbidden to
eat on Yom ha'Kipurim
b) [line 18] PIGUL
(a) A sacrifice that was slaughtered with the intention of eating it or
offering it after its allotted time becomes disqualified. It is forbidden to
eat from such a Korban as it states in Vayikra (7:18), "v'Im He'achol
Ye'achel mi'Besar Zevach Shelamav ba'Yom ha'Shelishi Lo Yeratzeh, ha'Makriv
Oso Lo Yechashev Lo, *Pigul* Yiheyeh." ("If [the person bringing the
offering plans] to eat it on the third day, [the sacrifice] will not be
accepted. It is considered Pigul (putrid, rejected) and it will not be
counted in his favor.")
(b) If a person eats Pigul intentionally he is Chayav Kares. If he eats it
unintentionally he must bring a Korban Chatas (SEFER HA'CHINUCH Mitzvah
144).
12) [line 18] NOSAR
(a) If any meat of a Korban remains after the time that was allotted for it
to be eaten, it must be burned, as it states in Vayikra (19:6) "b'Yom
Zivchachem Ye'achel umi'Macharas, *veha'Nosar* Ad Yom ha'Shelishi ba'Esh
Yisaref." - ("It shall be eaten the same day that you slaughter it and on
the next day, and anything that *remains* until the third day shall be
burned in fire.")
(b) If someone eats Nosar intentionally he is Chayav Kares. If he eats it
unintentionally, he must bring a Korban Chatas (SEFER HA'CHINUCH Mitzvah
215).
13) [line 33] INUY SHE'HU AVEIDAS HA'NEFESH - affliction that entails bodily
diminution
14) [line 39] PERISHUS DERECH ERETZ - refraining from marital relations
15) [line 45] "TOV MAR'EH EINAYIM ME'HALACH NEFESH..." - "Better is what the
eyes see than what is imagined..." (Koheles 6:9)
16) [last line] "...KI YITEN BA'KOS EINO, YIS'HALECH B'MEISHARIM" - "...when
a person eyes a cup, whatever he does, he considers just (any path he
follows he considers straight)." (Mishlei 23:31)
