1)[line 1]ניסוך המיםNISUCH HA'MAYIM
A Halachah l'Moshe mi'Sinai teaches us that on Sukos in the Beis ha'Mikdash, there is a Mitzvah of Nisuch ha'Mayim (lit. pouring of the water). Three Lugim (approx. 1.5 liter) of water are drawn from the Shilo'ach spring, which is located to the south of the Temple Mount. This water is then brought to the Azarah amidst a joyous procession, in fulfillment of the verse, "u'She'avtem Mayim b'Sason..." - "and you shall draw water with rejoicing..." (Yeshayah 12:3). The Kohen who is chosen to pour the water ascends the Mizbe'ach and pours the water from a golden flask into one of the Sefalim (silver libation pipes located in the southwest corner of the Mizbe'ach). The Nisuch ha'Mayim takes place each day of Sukos at the time of the morning Tamid sacrifice amidst much rejoicing.

The water exited the Azarah from Sha'ar ha'Mayim; this gate was located near the Ezras Kohanim which extended eleven Amos between the Ezras Yisrael and the Mizbe'ach; it was located opposite the Mizbe'ach to the south, as described in the Mishnah.

Water ran out on the south side!" (Yechezkel 47:2).

The word for "sprinkling" is the same as the word for the Tum'ah of Nidah.
21)[line 33]מי תערובותMEI TA'AROVOS- water which is a mixture of spring water and rainwater
22)[line 34]למי חטאתMEI CHATAS (PARAH ADUMAH)
If a person or utensil becomes Tamei by touching a Mes or being in the same room as a Mes (or a part of a Mes which is Metamei b'Ohel), he/it must wait seven days before he/it is able to go to the Mikvah in order to become Tahor. On the third and seventh days, Mei Chatas is sprinkled on the person or utensil. Mei Chatas is a mixture of ashes of a Parah Adumah (see Background to 10:31) and spring water. A person who is Tahor dips three Ezov (hyssop) branches which have been bound together into the mixture, and sprinkles them on the person or utensil which is Tamei. After this process is complete, the person or utensil is immersed in a Mikvah. Once night falls, the purification process is complete (Bamidbar 19:17-19).
23)[line 36]קטפריסותKATAFRISOS - slopes (MIKVA'OS: KATAFRAS)
(a)The Torah informs us that a "Mikveh Mayim" (an accumulation of water) causes a person or object who is Tamei to become Tahor (Vayikra 11:36). Chazal teach that this Mikveh Mayim is only Metaher if collected in a cavity, or "b'Ashboren."
(b)Water running down a slope (Katafras) cannot be Metaher since this is not considered an accumulation of water. This is because the droplets of water running down the slope are not gathered as one; they are simply going in the same direction.

And upon their entering the sea — the sea where the waters originate from [--the waters shall be healed]'" (Yechezkel 47:8) - The Gemara gives a specific geographical location for each of the seas mentioned in this verse.

b)[line 53]"בִּצֹּאתָיו וּגְבָאָיו וְלֹא יֵרָפְאוּ, לְמֶלַח נִתָּנוּ""BITZOSAV U'GEVE'AV V'LO YERAFE'U, L'MELACH NITANU"- "But its swamps and pools will not become sweetened; they will always be salty" (Yechezkel 47:11) - The Gemara then answers that there is a place called "Lo Yeraf'u," in which the waters will never become sweetened. This, however, will also be a blessing, since they will be set aside to provide salt. (The name of this place is quoted as "Velo Yeraf'u" in almost all of the editions of Maseches Shekalim other than the printed edition printed before the author of the Hagahos Dikdukei Sofrim. Rav Chayim Kanievsky, however, calls the place "Lo Yeraf'u.")

(see Girsa of TIKLIN CHADTIN); (b) If no Lechem was on the Shulchan at all, and it becomes available mid-week, should it be left aside to be placed the coming Shabbos, [or should it be placed on the Shulchan immediately, despite its becoming Pasul due to lack of a full week]? (KORBAN HA'EDAH)
