5)[line 13]רב ספראRAV SAFRA- Rav Safra spoke the truth from his heart. He once had an object for sale. While he was reciting the Shema, a buyer offered a price that Rav Safra found acceptable. However, the buyer thought that Rav Safra rejected the offer, because he received no answer from Rav Safra. In truth, however, Rav Safra could not answer because he was in the middle of Keri'as Shema. The buyer increased the offer. After he completed his prayers, Rav Safra refused the buyer's second offer and insisted on accepting the first offer, which he had already accepted in his mind.
6)[line 18]שגיררGIRER- he dragged. Achaz, the father of Chizkiyahu, was a notorious Rasha. When Achas died, Chizkiyahu dragged his father's body on a bed of ropes to denigrate him.
