Question (Part 1): This implies that we know for sure that a (Ger) Katan has nobody to redeem him, seeing as he cannot have children.

Question (Part 2): Similarly, in Perek Ein Bein ha'Mudar, regarding the D'rashah "Zos Toras ha'Yoledes" - 'Bein Gedolah Bein Ketanah, the Gemara asks 'Ketanah bas Leidah Hi'?

Question (Part 3): What is the Kashya, seeing as we say later in the Sugya that the early generations had children at the age of eight?

Answer: Even though the Chachamim gave the growth of pubic hair at twelve and a day for a girl and thirteen and a day for a boy, in the early generations this would occur at a much earlier age (i.e. Gadlus and Katnus is relative to the generation).

Question: Then why does the Gemara say later that Betzalel must have been thirteen when he constructed the Mishkan, since the Pasuk writes "Ish Ish mi'Melachto"?

Answer: The Gemara there wants to prove, that even if we go after today's standards, to avoid having to say that in those days they attained adulthood at an earlier age, we would still have to say that Betzalel was only thirteen years old.

Statement: Tosfos has already discussed this point in Perek Arba Misos.

Explanation #1: Rashi explains that that a fetus cannot develop in less than seven months. Consequently, one needs to reckon seven months for each pregnancy and one for the days of Nidus and Taharah. It transpires that each one gave birth in eight months - Achitofel bore Eli'am when he was eight; The pregnancy lasted eight months' once Eli'am was born, he waited eight years before he bore bas-Sheva, after an eight-month pregnancy. She too, became pregnant at the age of eight, and after eight months of pregnancy, Shlomoh was born ... making a total of twenty-six years.

Question: Rashi's explanation is very problematic however, inasmuch as the children grew older during the pregnancies too, in which case, when the wives became pregnant, they were eight years plus one month.

Explanation #2: It therefore seems that the Gemara is not particular about one month (i.e. because each one gave birth at eight years and a month).

Question: In that case, the Torah ought to reckon Cham last, when in fact, it lists them as 'Shem, Cham and Yafes'?
