*********************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 5a [line 3]:

The word "d'Milsa" ãîéìúà

should be "Milsa" îéìúà (as it appears on 56a and elsewhere)

[2] Rashi 5a DH l'Olam ã"ä ìòåìí:

The words "she'Higi'u l'Me'ah ka'Chashiv bi'Chlalei" ùäâéòå ìîàä ÷çùéá áëììé

should be "she'Higi'u l'Me'ah ka'Chashiv b'Kikarei"ùäâéòå ìîàä ÷çùéá áëëøé (as Rashi repeats later)

This prophecy refers to Pharaoh's coming to the assistance of Tzidkiyahu during the tenth year of his reign, during the siege of Nevuchadnetzar. When Pharaoh arrived with his army, Nevuchadnetzar had already raised the siege, so Pharaoh attacked Azah, the main city of the Pelishtim, and ransacked it, before returning home. That was when HaSh-m appeared to Yirmeyahu and informed him that, in a short while, Nevuchadnetzar would destroy the Pelishtim.
