*********************GIRSA SECTION*********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach and the marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is devoted to any other important corrections that Acharonim have pointed out in the Gemara, Rashi and Tosfos.
[1] Gemara 8a [line 1]:
The words "ki'Vnei Adam" כבני אדם
should be "mi'Bnei Adam" מבני אדם (RASHI and SHITAH MEKUBETZES #1)
[2] Gemara 8a [line 8]:
The word "Yoled" יולד
should be "Molid" מוליד (SHITAH MEKUBETZES)
[3] Gemara 8a [line 20]:
The word "v'Chozeres" וחוזרת
should be "v'Chazrah" וחזרה
[4] Rashi 8a DH Kol ד"ה כל:
see SHITAH MEKUBETZES #19
[5] Rashi 8a DH Ela [at the end of the page] ד"ה אלא:
The words "7 Pe'amim 12 Chodesh, Hainu Echad l'Sheva" שבע פעמים שתים עשרה חדש היינו אחד לשבע
should be "7 Pe'amim 12 Chodesh, Hainu Al Echad Sheva" שבע פעמים שתים עשרה חדש היינו על אחד שבע
[6] Gemara 8b [line 15]:
"Reisha d'Chevsa Amri Lach?" רישא דחיותא אמרי לך
see SHITAH MEKUBETZES #4
[7] Gemara 8b [line 19]:
The words "d'Iy Chazu Kar'a d'Aila... ud'Nafka..." דאי חזו כרעא דעיילא ... ודנפקא
should be "d'Iy Chazu Kar'a d'Nafka... ud'Aila..." דאי חזו כרעא דנפקא ... ודעיילא (RASHASH)
[8] Gemara 8b [line 20]:
"Katli Lehu l'Gava'i, Afcha l'Sandelei" קטלי להו לגואי אפכה לסנדליה
Rashi (DH Afchei) ד"ה אפכי did not have these words in his texts (RASHASH)
[9] Gemara 8b [line 42]:
The words "Aisu Budya" אייתו בודיא
should be "Aisi Budya" אייתי בודיא
[10] Gemara 8b [line 44]:
"Kol Chad v'Chad" כל חד וחד
see SHITAH MEKUBETZES #17
[11] Rashi 8b DH mi'Gava'i מגוואי
The words "Bara'i" בראי and "Gava'i" גוואי that are found in parentheses in the entire Dibur are the addition of the Tzon Kodashim and are apparently mistaken, because the exact opposite is true (RASHASH)
[12] Ibid:
The words "O Echad Yotzei" או אחד יוצא
should be "O Achar she'Yatza" או אחר שיצא
[13] Rashi 8b DH Afchei ד"ה אפכי:
The words "v'Dimu she'Shnei Bnei Adam Hen, v'Echad Nichnas v'Echad Yotzei" ודימו ששני בני אדם הן ואחד נכנס ואחד יוצא
should be "v'Dimu she'Shnei Bnei Adam Hen, v'Echad Nichnas v'Yatzah" ודימו ששני בני אדם הן ואחד נכנס ויצא
(That is, they thought that a second person stepped on the threshold, besides Rebbi Yehoshua ben Chananya, and that person both entered and exited - M. KORNFELD, see INSIGHTS)
