*********************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 116a [line 30]:
"v'Im Eino Chacham, Ishto Sho'alto" ואם אינו חכם, אשתו שואלתו
The Girsa of the manuscripts, Rav Amram Ga'on, Rif, and Rosh is "v'Im Lav, Ishto Sho'alto" ואם לאו, אשתו שואלתו
(Dikdukei Sofrim #60 — see Insights)
[2] Gemara 116a [line 49]:
"Amar Lei Patartan mi'Lomar Mah Nishtanah" אמר ליה פטרתן מלומר מה נשתנה
These words do not appear in the manuscripts. It is also evident that they were not in the Gemara of the Rashbam. (Dikdukei Sofrim #300)
[3] Gemara 116b [line 5]:
"Matzah Al Shum she'Nig'alu Avoseinu mi'Mitzrayim..." מצה על שום שנגאלו אבותינו ממצרים...
This is the Girsa of the manuscripts. The Rambam's Girsa is "Matzah Al Shum she'Lo Hispik Betzeikam l"Hachmitz... מצה על שום שלא הספיק בציקם להחמיץ..., as is the Girsa in the standard edition of the Hagadah. (See also Derushei Tzelach 38:11.)
[4] Gemara 116b [line 28]:
The words "d'Bei Rav Yosef Man d'Amar Agadta" דבי רב יוסף מאן דאמר אגדתא
should be "d'Bei Rav Yosef Man Amar Agadta" דבי רב יוסף מאן אמר אגדתא

37)[line 27]התםHASAM (BEN SORER U'MOREH)
(a)A boy can become a Ben Sorer u'Moreh (Devarim 21:18-21; lit a "stubborn and rebellious son") from the time that he shows signs of puberty (when two hairs grow) until he reaches a further stage of development (approximately three months later). He must steal money from his father, and buy 50 Dinars' weight of meat, eating it rare outside his father's property and in bad company. He must also drink half a log (5 oz.) of wine with the meal. It is therefore forbidden for a boy of this age to eat such a meal at any time (SEFER HA'MITZVOS, Lo Sa'aseh #195).
(b)A Ben Sorer u'Moreh is punished with Sekilah (stoning). Rebbi Yosi ha'Gelili explains that since he is running after worldly pleasures, he will eventually deplete all of his father's possessions, and when there is nothing left, he will stand at a crossroads and steal from people. It is better to kill him when he is young and has few sins than to let him live and die a wicked man (Sanhedrin 72a).
(c)The Gemara (Sanhedrin 68b-72a) learns that there are additional conditions necessary to become a Ben Sorer u'Moreh, which are so numerous and intricate that it is unfeasible for this punishment ever to be executed.
