1a)[line 1]תשבע בסוףTISHAVA BA'SOF- (lit. she takes an oath at the end) when she hears that her husband has passed away or when he sends her a Get to divorce her, before she can collect her Kesuvah she must take an oath to attest that she has not taken any of her husband's money unjustly
b)[line 1]ולא תשבע בתחלהV'LO SISHAVA BI'TECHILAH- but she does not take an oath when she asks to receive money for food (lit. at the onset; however, she may not ask for money within the first three months of her husband's departure, since there is a Chazakah that a person who travels abroad leaves enough provisions in his house for at least three months - Kesuvos 107a)

4)[line 24]מתרומת הלשכהTERUMAS HA'LISHKAH
(a)Every year, one half a Shekel was collected from every Jew to fund the Korbenos Tzibur that were offered in the Beis ha'Mikdash (Shemos 30:11-16). Beis Din placed the money that was collected in a room in the Mikdash reserved for that purpose.
(b)At three times during the year (before each of the three festivals), Beis Din filled three boxes, each of which held three Se'in (approximately 21.6, 25 or 43.2 liters, depending upon the differing Halachic opinions) with Shekalim from that room. The portion that was set aside in the boxes was called the "Terumas ha'Lishkah," while the remainder of the Shekalim were called "Sheyarei ha'Lishkah" (Shekalim 7b, 8a). (See Insights to Shekalim 9:2)
(c)There is a difference of opinion as to why the Terumas ha'Lishkah was done three times a year rather than just once. One opinion states that the reason was only to publicize the Terumas ha'Lishkah (Shekalim 2b, see Insights there). According to others, Beis Din was concerned that the Terumas ha'Lishkah should be collected from the Shekalim that arrived later in the year (this opinion is also mentioned in the Yerushalmi, ibid.).
(d)The Shekalim from the Terumas ha'Lishkah were used to purchase the animals needed for public sacrifices and for the wages of certain laborers and appointees of Hekdesh. The Shekalim from the Sheyarei ha'Lishkah were used to buy other goods necessary for the upkeep of the Mikdash and the entire city of Yerushalayim (Shekalim 4a-b).
5)[line 25]לא ספקוLO SAFKU- if it did not suffice to buy their food. (The 99 Maneh were the wages for the three Batei Dinim of Admon, Chanan ha'Mitzri, and Chanan ben Avishalom. Each Beis Din consisted of 23 judges. As such, each judge received approximately 143 Zuzim - MAHARSHA.)

39)[line 38]ראשית הגזREISHIS HA'GEZ
(a)Every time a flock of sheep is shorn, it is a Mitzvas Aseh to give the first shearings to a Kohen: "v'Reishis Gez Tzoncha Titen Lo" (Devarim 18:4). Although the Mishnah (Chulin 135a) states that this Mitzvah applies both in Eretz Yisrael and in Chutz la'Aretz, the Halachah follows the ruling of Rebbi Ila'i (ibid. 136b, Berachos 22a) who rules that the Mitzvah applies only in Eretz Yisrael (Rambam Hilchos Bikurim ch. 10).
(b)The owner is obligated to give the first shearings to the Kohen only when a minimum amount of fleece is shorn from a minimum number of sheep. The minimum number of sheep is two according to Beis Shamai and five according to Beis Hillel. The Halachah follows Beis Hillel (Chulin 135a). The minimum amount of fleece that must be shorn from each of the five sheep is the amount of fleece that weighs a "Maneh u'Feras" (a Maneh and a half) according to Rebbi Dosa ben Harkinas (ibid.). (A Maneh is 100 silver Dinerin, each one of which occupies the volume of 96 grains of barley - Kidushin 12a.) As such, the total minimum amount of fleece that must be shorn according to Rebbi Dosa is 750 silver Dinerin. According to the Rabanan, the weight of twelve Sela'im must be shorn from each sheep, for a total of 60 Sela'im (i.e. 240 Dinerin), according to Shmuel, who holds the Halachic opinion - Chulin 137b. Rav maintains that according to the Rabanan the wool of all five animals must weigh 150 Dinerin.
(c)After all of one's sheep are shorn, one must give to the Kohen one-sixtieth of all of the shearings, whether it is a lot or a little (as long as the minimum required amount is fulfilled, as mentioned above). When one gives the wool to the Kohanim, he must not give less than the weight of five Shekalim (ten Dinerin) of wool to each Kohen, which is the amount that suffices to make a belt (Chulin 138a).

44)[line 47]"ואיש בא מבעל שלשה ויבא לאיש האלקים לחם בכורים עשרים לחם שערים וכרמל בצקלנו [ויאמר תן לעם ויאכלו כי כה אמר ה' אכול והותר]""V'ISH BA MI'BA'AL SHALISHAH VA'YAVEI L'ISH HA'EL-OKIM LECHEM BIKURIM ESRIM LECHEM SE'ORIM V'CHARMEL B'TZIKLONO" - "And a man came from Ba'al Shalishah bringing with him for the man of G-d (Elisha) twenty barley breads from the new harvest and soft barley kernels within their husks, [and he said, 'Give it to the people and let them eat!' And his (Elisha's) servant said, 'How can I give this (so little) to a hundred people?' And he (Elisha) said, 'Give it to the people and let them eat; for so HaSh-m said: Eat and leave over!']" (Melachim II 4:42-43) (ANOTHER MIRACLE IN TIME OF FAMINE)
This is one of ten miracles performed by Elisha. It took place during a time of famine. Following Elisha's instructions, his servant indeed distributed the inadequate amount of food to the hundred people gathered there, and, the verse concludes, they ate and left over, just as the Navi said they would. Our Gemara understands the verse to read, "... twenty loaves of bread from the new harvest, a loaf of barley bread, and [another meal's worth of] soft barley kernels within their husks ..."
