1)[line 1]áùòú äôøùä ìàBI'SHE'AS HAFRASHAH LO- [if he established the Minchah only] at the time of setting aside of the flour [for the fulfillment of his vow, and then he brought the flour as a different type of Minchah,] no (it does not become disqualified)

2)[line 8]ñåìúSOLES- fine flour

3)[line 11]ðãø åôúçå òîå äåàNEDER U'FISCHO IMO HU (NEDER / CHARATAH / PESACH)

See Background to Menachos 81:18.

4)[line 13]úôåñ ìùåï øàùåïTEFOS LASHON RISHON (TEFOS LASHON RISHON / BI'GEMAR DEVARAV ADAM NITPAS)

(a)Tefos Lashon Rishon means, "Grab the first [part of the] statement." That is, if a person utters a two-fold statement designating an object as Hekdesh with contradictory Halachic ramifications, we view the second [part of the] statement as an addition to the first. Therefore, the first [part of the] statement is valid, while the second is ignored.

(b)The dissenting opinion maintains that "bi'Gemar Devarav Adam Nitpas" - "A person is bound (lit. caught) by his last words". There is a Machlokes Rishonim regarding this opinion. The RAN (Nedarim 26a) writes that this opinion maintains that the second [part of the] statement categorically revokes the first [part of the] statement. Therefore, the second [part of the] statement is valid while the first one is ignored. The ROSH and RASHI (Pesachim 53b DH Rebbi Shimon) understand this opinion to maintain that "Af bi'Gemar Devarav Adam Nitpas," - the person originally intended that both [parts of his] statement[s] should apply, since he did not realize that they were Halachically contradictory. According to this opinion, both [parts of the] statement[s] are valid, and a compromise should be found between the two when possible.

5)[line 14]äãáéìäHA'DEVEILAH- the pressed figs

6)[line 26]áùòåøéí èòéBI'SE'ORIM TA'I, B'ADASHIM LO TA'I- one might err with regard to barley (since the Minchas Kena'os and the Omer are comprised of barley), but one does not err with regard to lentils (since no Minchah is comprised of lentils)

7)[line 3]÷îç éáéà ñåìúKEMACH YAVI SOLES- if he said "from ordinary flour," he must bring a Minchah from fine flour

8)[line 18]áâîø ãáøéå àãí îúôéñBI'GEMAR DEVARAV ADAM MASPIS

See above, entry #4.

9)[line 24]ìéçéã ùäåà ôçåú îï äöáåø àçã ãéåDAYO L'YACHID SHE'HU PACHOS MIN HA'TZIBUR ECHAD- it is sufficient for the individual that he be one less than the congregation; if the congregation brings a total of sixty-one Isaron, the largest Minchah that an individual can bring is one less, or sixty Isaron.

10)[line 30]÷øèåáKORTOV- a measure of capacity equal to 1/64th of a Log, or 0.004, 0.005, or 0.009 liters, depending upon the differing Halachic opinions

12)[line 34]øàù äîãáøéí áëì î÷åíROSH HA'MEDABRIM B'CHOL MAKOM- the one appointed to be the first speaker on all occasions

13)[line 44]ðéîàNIMA- a single thread

14)[line 45]áå ëì äøàåé ìáéìä àéï áéìä îòëáúKOL HA'RA'UY L'VILAH EIN BILAH ME'AKEVES BO

(a)Regarding a Minchah that is a Nedavah (voluntary meal offering), the Torah states "v'Chol Minchah Velulah va'Shemen" (Vayikra 7:10), from which we learn that the oil that is poured onto the Minchah should be mixed throughout. Nevertheless, if the oil wasn't mixed throughout, the Minchah is still Kesheirah.

(b)However, if someone brings so much flour that it is impossible for the oil to be mixed throughout, the Minchah is Pesulah. Therefore, the Mishnah (Menachos 103b) states that if someone brings a Minchah to be offered on the Mizbe'ach, it may not contain more than sixty Esronim of flour (approximately 129.6, 149.4 or 259.2 liters, depending upon the differing Halachic opinions).

15)[line 47]áôøãä àçúB'PREIDAH ACHAS- [an incident occurred with] a certain mule

17)[line 50]òåìé øâìéíOLEI REGALIM (ALIYAH L'REGEL)

Every Jewish male is commanded to visit the Beis ha'Mikdash three times a year, on the festivals of Pesach, Shavu'os, and Sukos (Shemos 23:17).
