(a)

Rav and Shmuel argue over a Matnas Shechiv-M'ra that contains a Kinyan. What do Amri bei Rav mi'Shemeih de'Rav mean when they say 'Ark'veih a'Terei Richshi'?

(b)

In what way is it ..

1.

... a Matnas Bari?

2.

... a Matnas Shechiv-M'ra?

(c)

What is the literal meaning of 'Ark'veih a'T'rei Richshi'?

(d)

And what does Shmuel mean when he says 'Lo Yada'na Mai Adun bah'? What is the problem, assuming that ...

1.

... there is a Sh'tar?

2.

... there is no Sh'tar?

2)

(a)

There are four proofs as to why they must be referring to a 'Matnas Shechiv-M'ra be'Kulo' and not 'be'Miktzaso'. What is the most obvious proof?

(b)

Two of the three remaining proofs are 1. because our Mishnah rules 'Matnas Shechiv-M'ra be'Miktzas, Matanaso Matanah' (with or without a Kinyan), so why does Shmuel have a Safek?, and 2. because we will shortly ask from a case of a Shechiv-M'ra who wrote all his property to someone, so presumably, that is the case that we are talking about. What is the final proof?

(c)

Will it make any difference if the Kinyan is not written in the Sh'tar?

(d)

We query the opinions of both Rav and Shmuel from another ruling of theirs, where Ravin Amar Rebbi Avahu quotes Rebbi Elazar. What did Rebbi Elazar send to the Golah in the name of Rav, regarding a Shechiv-M'ra who said 'Kisvu u'Tenu Manah li'Peloni' and then died?

(e)

And what does Shmuel rule there?

3)

(a)

To reconcile Rav's two rulings, we draw a distinction between where they made a Kinyan and where they did not. What does this mean?

(b)

And how do we resolve the discrepancy in Shmuel? How do we establish his latter ruling to ensure that the Kinyan takes effect immediately?

(c)

Rava queried Shmuel from another statement of his. With Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak sitting behind him, in front of whom was Rava sitting when he asked the Kashya?

(d)

What did Rav Yehudah Amar Shmuel say about a Shechiv-M'ra who wrote all his property out to someone, even assuming he made a Kinyan)?

4)

(a)

What did Rav Nachman reply? How did he resolve the discrepancy in Shmuel?

(b)

How come that Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak needed to ask Rava to explain Rav Nachman's answer? Why could he not understand it himself?

(c)

One explanation is that Rav Nachman hinted that he had an answer (which he explained to Rava only later). What is the alternative explanation?

(d)

And how did Rav Chisda explain 'Meyapeh es Kocho'?

5)

(a)

When Rav Dimi arrived from Eretz Yisrael, what did he say about a Shechiv-M'ra who writes out all his property, first to Reuven and then to Shimon, without handing them the Sh'tar?

(b)

Why is a Matnas Shechiv-M'ra called 'Daytiki'? What is 'Daytiki' the acronym of?

(c)

If he did hand them the Sh'tar, according to Rav, Reuven acquires the property. What does Shmuel say?

(d)

What is the basis of their Machlokes?

6)

(a)

We query this however, in that they have already argued over this point before. What are we referring to?

(b)

According to the answer, had they not presented their Machlokes ...

1.

... here too, why might we have thought that Rav will agree with Shmuel?

2.

... there too, why might we have thought that Shmuel will agree with Rav?

(c)

And how do we reconcile Shmuel, who holds in the first case 'Lo Yada'na Mai Adun bah', with his own ruling here 'Sheini Kanah'?

7)

(a)

The above is the version as it was learned in Sura. In the Pumbedisian version, Rav Yirmiyah bar Aba cited a She'eilah that bei Rav sent to Shmuel. What did Shmuel reply, when they asked him about a Shechiv-M'ra who wrote all his property to others with a Kinyan?

(b)

This principle certainly pertains to a Shechiv-M'ra who gave his property to Reuven and who now wants to give it to Shimon. What did Rav Huna from Kufri say about where the Shechiv-M'ra recovers and wants to retrieve the property himself?

8)

(a)

On what grounds do we reject the proposal that the Pumbedisian version comes to amend Shmuel's earlier statement 'Matnas Shechiv-M'ra she'Kasuv bah Kinyan, Lo Yada'na Mai Adun bah'?

(b)

Which statement of Shmuel's does it come to amend?

(c)

What exactly, is the case?
