1)[line 3]חצי ערכיCHATZI ERKI (ERCHIN)

(a)See Background to 37:14.

(b)There is no Erech for a limb of a person's body. However, if someone declares that he wants to give the endowment value of a vital organ or limb of a certain person (i.e. an organ or limb that a person cannot live without), Chazal learn from the words "b'Erkecha Nefashos" (ibid. 27:2) that he must give the entire Erech of that person. This is the also the Halachah if someone pledges "Erech Chatzyo" (the endowment value of half of a person). (Erchin 20a).

(c)The Tana'im (ibid.) argue when a person specifies that he pledges "Chatzi Erko," half of the Erech of a certain person. Tana Kama rules that the person who uttered the pledge is obligated to give half of the designated value. Rebbi Yosi b'Rebbi Yehudah claims that the Rabanan instituted that he must give a full Erech of that person, lest his pledge of "Chatzi Erko" be confused with a pledge of "Erech Chatzyo."

14)[line 9]ובפרקונהUB'PIRKONAH (TENAI KESUVAH)

(a)There are number of stipulations of marriage which are imposed by Beis Din and some of which are written explicitly in the Kesuvah (the Jewish marriage contract). These are in addition to the basic obligations a man has to his wife according to the Torah. Those stipulations which obligate the husband to his wife are:

1.A husband must redeem his wife if she is a taken captive. If he is not a Kohen, he must take her back into his house; if he is a Kohen he must redeem her and divorce her so that she can remarry. He may not (divorce her and) give her the money of the Kesuvah so that she should redeem herself.

2.As long as they are married, he must provide his wife with all the medical care that she needs.

3.If she dies before her husband, her sons inherit the full value of her Kesuvah when he dies (and not the sons of his other wives), aside from the remainder of the estate (which is divided equally between all of the brothers). This is called "Kesuvas Benin Dichrin."

4.After he dies, his daughters must be allowed to live in the house in which he lived, and must be provided for by his household, until they become married.

5.If he dies before his wife, his wife must be allowed to live in the house in which he lived and must be provided for by his household until she remarries. (This stipulation was only made in Yerushalayim and the Galil. In Yehudah, the heirs reserved for themselves the right to give her the value of her Kesuvah and have her find herself a new home.) (Mishnayos Kesuvos 4:7-12)

(b)A husband is obligated to keep these conditions even if he omitted them from the Kesuvah, or did not give his wife a Kesuvah.

18)[line 22]לאמהL'AMAH (AMAH)

A destitute father, under certain circumstances, may sell his daughter into servitude to a Jewish master as long as she is a minor. The sale is for a period of six years or until she becomes a Gedolah (when two pubic hairs grow after she enters her 12th year) or until the Yovel year (the year after seven Shemitah cycles), whichever comes first. During this period she is called an "Amah ha'Ivriyah."
