(a)The Amora'im query our Mishnah with eight possible La'avin that the Tana could have included in our Mishnah (some of them which, even remotely, have nothing to do with plowing). What is the significance of the Si'man 'Sh.N.B.A.Y. Sh.N.Z'.

(b)Which La'av is ...

1. ... Rav Hoshaya referring to when he quotes the Pasuk in Shoftim "asher Lo Ye'abed ba ve'Lo Yizare'a?

2. ... Rav Chananya referring to when he quotes the Pasuk ib Re'ei "ve'Ibadtem es Sh'mam ... Lo Sa'asun Kein la'Hashem ... "?

(c)Which Pasuk in ...

1. ... Ki Seitzei serves as the source for the La'av of not cutting off the nark of Tzara'as cited by Rebbi Avahu?

2. ... Terumah serves as the source for the La'av for not moving the Choshen from on the Eifod cited by Abaye?

(d)Which La'av is ...

1. ... Abaye referring to when he cites the Pasuk in Tetzaveh "Lo Yasuru mimenu"?

2. ... Rav Ashi referring to when he cites the Pasuk in Re'ei (that we cited above) "ve'Lo Yiidbak be'Yadcha Me'umah"?

2)

(a)Ravina queries our Mishnah from the La'av of not cutting down fruit-trees whilst Rebbi Avira asked Rebbi Mani that the Tana could have asked from where the sinner contravened his oath not to plow on Yom-tov. Which Pasuk in Shoftim serves as the source for Ravina's Kashya?

(b)On what grounds do we reject this latter query?

(c)How do we nevertheless reinstate it? How is it possible for such a Shevu'ah to take effect?

(d)We refute the suggestion that the Tana does not include the case of Shevu'ah, because he is not concerned about something that can be rescinded, from Hekdesh and Nazir, which the Tana mentions despite the fact that both can be rescinded. How do we reinstate the Kashya however, by rejecting the Pircha from ...

1. ... Hekdesh?

2. ... Nazir?

(e)On what grounds do we reject this interpretation of Nazir?

3)

(a)How do we finally answer the Kashya from Shevu'ah? Why does the Tana not include it in the Mishnah?

(b)All the Other Kashyos however, remain unaswered. Why in fact, does the Tana omit them (see Tosfos DH 'Maskif'?

4)

(a)Rebbi Hoshaya rules that someone who breeds a Shor Pesulei ha'Mukdashin is subject to two sets of Malkos. What is a 'Shor Pesulei ha'Mukdashin'?

(b)What is his reason?

(c)On what dual set of Halachos is this dual status based?

(d)What if the cow is a Pesulei ha'Mukdashin too?

(e)And what does Rebbi Yitzchak say about someone who leads a 'Shor Pesulei ha'Mukdashin' that is hitched to a plow?

(f)What problem do we have with the current ruling?

5)

(a)What does our Mishnah learn from the Pasuk "be'Mispar ... Arba'im"?

(b)According to Rebbi Yehudah, one receives forty lashes. Where is the 'extra' one administered?

(c)The Mishnah requires 'Makos Re'uyos le'Hishtalesh'. What does the Tana mean by that?

6)

(a)What does the Tana say about a case where someone is assessed ...

1. ... for 'forty' lashes, and after he has received some of them, it is discovered that he cannot take the full amount?

2. ... for eighteen lashes, and after he has received them, they conclude that he is able to take the full amount?

(b)What will be the Din in a case where he is assessed ...

1. ... for 'forty' lashes, and before he has received any, it is discovered that he cannot take any Malkos at all?

2. ... for eighteen lashes, and before he has received any, they conclude that he is able to take the full quota?

7)

(a)Our Mishnah extrapolates from the Pasuk "be'Mispar ... Arba'im" that Malkos comprises thirty-nine lashes. What ought the Torah to have written had it meant the sinner to receive forty?

(b)Based on this D'rashah, why does Rava refer to most people as foolish?

(c)What does Rebbi Yehudah learn from the Pasuk in Zecharyah "Mah ha'Makos ha'Eileh bein Yadecha, ve'Amar asher Hukeisi Beis Me'ahavai"?

(d)How do the Rabbanan interpret this Pasuk?

8)

(a)We learned in our Mishnah that if the Chachamim assessed a sinner to receive a certain amount of lashes and, before having receiving any, they reassessed that he could take more or less than the original assessment, he will receive the higher assessment. How do we reconcile this with the Beraisa, which sentences him to the lower amount either way?

(b)We reject the explanation that if Beis-Din assess him for that day, then we cannot exempt him before he has received at least some of the Malkos for two reasons. One, because it would make no sense to give him Malkos on the basis of the original assessment, when now Beis-Din claim that any Malkos that he receives will kill him. What is the other?

(c)What does our Mishnah rule in a case where Beis-Din assess that, someone who committed a double-sin (he plowed with an ox and a donkey, and at the same time, he sowed Kil'ayim in a vineyard), is fit to receive the entire set of Malkos for the one sin, but not for the second? When will he receive the outstanding Malkos and when will he not?

(d)How does Rav Sheishes reconcile this with the Beraisa 'Ein Omdin Omed Echad li'Shenei La'avin'?

9)

(a)Presumably the post to which they tie the sinner's hands, is the width of a person. How tall is it?

(b)What does the Shali'ach Beis-Din do next? How much of the sinner's body must to be revealed?

(c)Is he obligated to pay if, in the process, the sinner's clothes tear?

(d)Where does the Shali'ach Beis-Din stand?

10)

(a)What does the Shali'ach Beis-Din do with the two calf straps with which he is about to lash the sinner?

(b)What does he attach to inside the fold of each of the two doubled calf straps?

(c)What size must the handle be?

(d)How long and how wide is each of the straps?

11)

(a)How are the thirty-nine lashes divided?

(b)What do we learn from the Pasuk in Ki Seitzei "Vehipilo ha'Shofet"?

(c)How much force does the Shali'ach Beis-Din put into the stroke?

12)

(a)What do we learn from the Pasuk in Kedoshim (in connection with a Shifchah Charufah) "Bikores Tih'yeh"?

(b)Which Parshah does he read?

(c)How does he conclude?

(d)What if he finishes reading before the sinner has received all his Malkos?

13)

(a)What happens to the Shali'ach Beis-Din if the sinner dies ...

1. ... in the course of the Malkos?

2. ... as a result of the Shali'ach Beis-Din adding an extra stroke?

(b)What does our Mishnah learn from the Pasuk "ve'Niklah Achicha le'Einecha"?

(c)What does Rebbi Yehudah say?
