Explanation: This was taught due to the Seifa 'when he said "it and everything inside", all of them are sold';

Due to the Reisha, it is not needed. Since it teaches that sacks for merchandise, which always remain on the boat, he did not sell, all the more so the merchandise itself [he did not sell]!

Explanation: It was a young wild Re'em (giant animal). The Targum of "Ofer ha'Eilim" is Orzila d'Aila.

Support - Citation (Zevachim 113b): Granted, according to R. Yochanan who says that the flood did not come to Eretz Yisrael, we can say that the Re'em was there. However, according to Reish Lakish, where was it? (It could not fit in the ark!)

Citation (cont.): R. Yanai said that they brought young Re'emim into the ark. We ask that Rabah bar bar Chanah said that he saw Orzila Bar Re'ima, and it was [big] like mount Tavor.

According to the texts that say "Orzila d'Yama", i.e. a fish, what was the question? We say in Kidushin (13a) that there was no decree against fish of the sea [to die in the flood]!

Explanation: This is feces, like [Rav Yosef] said in Sanhedrin (98b) "may I see Mashi'ach, and sit in the shade of the dung of his donkey!"

Observation: This is like the opinion in Sanhedrin (110b) that those who died in the Midbar have a share in the world to come.
