Question
1)
(a) Rav Chisda points out that the ruling obligating whoever rapes a Nidah to pay Kenas is unanimous. Why is that?
(b) However, this precludes the opinion of Rebbi Nechunya ben ha'Kanah. What does Rebbi Nechunya ben ha'Kanah say about someone who sets his friend's hay-stack on fire on Yom Kippur?
(c) What will he therefore rule with regard to someone who rapes a Nidah?

2)
(a) Abaye gives Rebbi Nechunya ben ha'Kanah's source as the 'Gezeirah-Shavah' "Ason" (in Mishpatim, in connection with a man a man inadvertently strikes a pregnant woman, killing the baby) "Ason" (said by Yakov as a reason for initially not allowing Binyamin to go down to Egypt with his brothers). How do we initially ...
1. ... interpret "Ason" in the latter case?
2. ... answer Rav Ada bar Ahavah's query as to how we know that Yakov was referring to heat and cold (which we think are 'b'Yedei Shamayim'), and not to lions and robbers?
(b) What does the Tana of the Beraisa learn from the Pasuk in Mishlei "Tzinim Pachim b'Derech Ikesh, Shomer Nafsho Yirchak Mehem"?
(c) How do we query the contention that (lions and) robbers are in the hands of man?
(d) What do Rav Yosef and Rebbi Chiya quoting a Beraisa say with regard to the four deaths of Beis-Din?

3)
(a) Nowadays, one of the punishments that replace ...
1. ... stoning, is falling from a roof - what is the second?
2. ... burning (death by boiling lead poured down one's throat) is falling into a fire - what is the second?
3. ... killing by the sword is execution (at the hand of the ruling power) - what is the second?
4. ... strangulation, is drowning - what is the second?
(b) How do we now answer the dual Kashyos that we asked earlier regarding the contention that illnesses that result from cold and heat are considered 'bi'Yedei Shamayim, and (lions and) robbers, bi'Yedei Adam?
click for answer

4)
(a) Rava bases Rebbi Nechunya ben ha'Kanah's Din on the Pasuk in Kedoshim "v'Im Ha'alem Ya'alimu Am ha'Aretz es Eineihem min ha'Ish ha'Hu ... v'Hichrati Oso". How does he learn it from there?
(b) The difference between Abaye and Rava's sources for Rebbi Nechunya ben ha'Kanah is - with regard to a Zar who eats Terumah. Why is that?
click for answer

5)
(a) What does Rav Chisda say about someone who steals Chelev and eats it (even according to Rebbi Nechunya ben ha'Kanah)?
(b) Why does this pose a Kashya on Abaye in the previous question, who exempts a Zar who eats Terumah from paying, according to Rebbi Nechunya ben ha'Kanah?
(c) On what grounds do we refute the answer that Abaye is speaking when the Zar's friend stuck the Terumah into his mouth (in which case, it appears, the Kinyan and the Isur Terumah will have arrived simultaneously)?
(d) How do we try and answer that?
click for answer

6)
(a) On what grounds do we also refute the current answer?
(b) We ultimately answer that Abaye and Rava speak when he is able to return the Terumah 'al-Yedei ha'Dechak'. What does this mean? How does it answer the Kashya?
click for answer

7)
(a) Rav Papa avoids having to say that his friend pushed the food right into his throat. How does he do that?
(b) Rav Ashi avoids the problem of theft altogether, by establishing the case when the Zar ate his own Terumah. What is the full case? What is Rav Ashi's Chidush?
