10)[line 37]לבינונית שלא בשבועה וזיבורית בשבועהL'BEINONIS SHE'LO BI'SHEVU'AH / ZIBURIS BI'SHEVU'AH
(a)A person may pay his debts by transferring his ownership of a plot of land into the hands of his creditor. For this purpose, Chazal classified plots of land using three levels of quality: Ziburis (poor quality land), Beinonis (average quality land), and Idis (high quality land). Damages (Nezikin) are reimbursed with Idis. Standard loans (Halva'os) and debts (Chovos) are repaid with Beinonis. Any debt owed by an orphan and the value of a Kesuvah may be paid even with Ziburis (poor quality land). The Gemara explains the reason for these differences (Mishnah, Gitin 48b, and Gemara ibid.)
(b)When a person collects a debt from orphans, he must take an oath that he did not receive payment from their father.

17)[line 6]"אבחר דרכם...""EVCHAR DARKAM..."- "I chose out their way, and sat like a chief, and dwelt like a king in the army, like one who comforts the mourners." (Iyov 29:25)
18)[line 9]ינחם כתיבYINCHAM KESIV- it is written as if it said, "[... like a mourner] who is being comforted."
19)[line 10]"וסר מרזח סרוחים""... V'SAR MIRZACH SERUCHIM."- "[Therefore now they shall go into exile at the head of the exiles,] and the revelry of those who stretched themselves [out on their beds (a reference to Amos 6:4)] shall pass away." (Amos 6:7) - Chazal make a play on the word "v'Sar" ("and it shall pass away"), rendering it as if it were written with the letter Sin ("v'Sar," "and he will be a minister"). The second half of this verse is thus translated as, "and the Mirzach (the mourner who was Mar v'Zach - bitter and distracted) will be a minister over Seruchim (important personages who come to comfort him)."
