Question; A Mishnah teaches that all [males] are obligated in Re'iyah (appearing in the Mikdash every festival with Korbanos), except for a Cheresh, lunatic, child, Tumtum or Androginus. What would R. Yehudah say? (Since he holds that an Androginus is a Vadai male, he should be obligated!)

Answer: We learn from the following. R. Yochanan ben Dahavai says in the name of R. Yudah, even a blind person [is exempt].

A person says 'even' only if he agrees to what was said before!

Question: R. Yehudah contradicts himself! There (Re'iyah), he says that "Zechurcha" excludes [an Androginus]. Here (Milah), he says that [Zachar] includes [an Androginus]!

Answer: R. Yehudah and Rabanan expound the same verse. Rabanan expound "Arel" - why does it say [also] Zachar? This teaches that he must be totally male (and not Androginus, who has also female genitals);

R. Yehudah expounds "Zachar" - why does it say [also] Arel? This teaches even a partial Arel (i.e. he is not a full male). However, here it says "Kol Zechurcha" (a total male), to exclude an Androginus.

(Mishnah): A sick baby - we do not circumcise him until he is healthy;

(Shmuel): Even if he had a fever for a short time, we wait 30 days for him [before circumcising him].

Question: During those 30 days, may one feed him Chalvah of Terumah? May one anoint him with oil of Terumah? (ALEI TAMAR, Shabbos 19:5 - Chalvah of Terumah is a sweet food for infants made from honey, milk and wheat.)

Answer: We learn from the following [Mishnah]. An Arel and all Temei'im, they may not eat Terumah; their wives and slaves eat. (We discuss one who did not circumcise because his brothers died from Milah. Even though this is Ones (mortal danger), he may not eat!)

(R. Acha citing R. Tanchum bei R. Chiyah): Orlah is only from day eight and onwards. (Before this he is not called Arel, for it is not time to cut it.)

Support (Beraisa): All 30 days, one may not feed him Chalvah of Terumah, and one may not anoint him with oil of Terumah.

Question: The night of (before) the eighth - how do you judge it?

Answer: From what was taught 'on the eighth night [from an animal's birth], it enters the pen for Ma'aser' - this teaches that the eighth night is like the eighth day (when it is proper to be a Korban).

Support (Beraisa): All seven days, one may feed him Chalvah of Terumah, and one may anoint him with oil of Terumah.

(Mishnah): The following strands invalidate Milah (flesh that covers the majority of the crown).

(R. Avina citing R. Yirmeyah): [This means that] it covers the majority of the height of the crown.

(R. Yosi ben Yosi): [This means that] it covers the majority of the roof of the crown.

(R. Tavi citing Shmuel): We check him when he has an erection.

If one circumcised but did not do Peri'ah, it is as if he did not circumcise.

(Beraisa): [If he did so on Shabbos] his punishment is Kares (he wounded, and did not do the Mitzvah).

(R. Acha citing R. Avahu): This is when there is no time in the day to finish, but if there is time to finish, he finishes, and he is not concerned.

(Beraisa): [On Shabbos,] as long as one is circumcising, he may go back to cut both strands that are Me'akev the Milah and strands that are not Me'akev the Milah. Once he ceased, he may go back to cut only strands that are Me'akev the Milah.

(R. Yochanan): R. Yosi holds that even if he ceased, he may go back to cut strands that are not Me'akev the Milah.

Question: Which teaching of R. Yosi [shows this]?

Answer: It is the Mishnah there - R. Yosi says, if the first Yom Tov of Sukos fell on Shabbos, if someone forgot and took a Lulav out in Reshus ha'Rabim, he is exempt, for he was Motzi with permission (even after he was Yotzei through picking it up, carrying it more is an additional Mitzvah. The same applies to cutting strands that are not Me'akev.)

Question: Is also a Milah knife the same? (If he was Motzi it after doing the Mitzvah, is he exempt?) Is also Matzah the same?

Answer: Since R. Yochanan said that R. Yosi holds that even if he ceased, he may go back to cut strands that are not Me'akev the Milah, this teaches that also a Milah knife is so, and also Matzah is so.

(Mishnah): If he did not have Bi'ah with her since becoming a Petzu'a Daka or Krus Shafchah, she may eat.

(R. Lazar, the Amora): This is like [the Tana'im] R. Lazar and R. Shimon (in Mishnah 6:3. They permit an Arusah to eat Terumah, even if she is forbidden to her husband, e.g. a widow to a Kohen Gadol.)

(R. Yochanan): It is like everyone. Here is different, for he did not do another Kinyan to disqualify (after he became forbidden to her. There, he was forbidden to her from the beginning.)

This argument is like the following argument;

They argued about a Shomeres Yavam Kohenes (i.e. a Kohen's wife) who fell to two Kohanim Yevamim. One of them made a Ma'amar, and did not suffice to have Nisu'in with her before he became a Petzu'a Daka or Krus Shafchah;

(Reish Lakish): Since she is awaiting a Pasul Bi'ah, this disqualifies her.

(R. Yochanan): [She is disqualified only] after Bi'ah.

If one of the [Yevamim] was a [Kosher] Kohen and one was Pasul [from the beginning, and he gave the Ma'amar], even R. Yochanan agrees (that she is disqualified, for he made a Kinyan after he was Pasul)

Question (R. Chiya bar Rav Ada bar Ahavah, to R. Mana): If the Kosher [Yavam] gave the Ma'amar, [what is the law]?

Answer (R. Mana): R. Yochanan and Reish Lakish argue about this.
