What does our Mishnah learn from the Pasuk in Parshas Shoftim "ve'Zeh D'var ha'Rotze'ach" regarding a murderer whom the residents of the Ir Miklat wish to honor?

(b)

On what condition may he accept their offer?

(c)

According to Rebbi ...

1.

... Yehudah the murderers must pay the Levi'im rent. What does Rebbi Meir say?

2.

... Meir, when the murderer returns to his hometown, he returns to whatever prominent position he held previously. What does Rebbi Yehudah say?

2)
(a)

Rav Kahana explains that Rebbi Meir and Rebbi Yehudah argue over the word "Lachem" (in the Pasuk in Parshas Shoftim "ve'Hayu lachem he'Arim le'Miklat mi'Go'el ... "), which Rebbi Meir interprets to mean for the benefit of the murderers (free of rent). How does Rebbi Yehudah interpret it?

(b)

If their Machlokes is confined to the six towns that were initially designated as Arei Miklat, what will both Tana'im then hold with regard to the additional forty-two towns that were added later?

(c)

On what grounds does Rava object to Rav Kahana's explanation?

(d)

According to Rava therefore, they are arguing over the forty-two towns, and the basis of their Machlokes concerns the Pasuk "va'Aleihem Titnu Arba'im-u'Shetayim Ir". How do Rebbi Yehudah and Rebbi Meir respectively, interpret it?

(e)

And what do they hold with regard to the six towns?

3)
(a)

Rebbi Yehudah explains the Pasuk in B'har "ve'Shav el Mishpachto (ve'el Achuzas Avosav Yashuv") to mean that he returns to his family, but not to his previous position. By whom is this written?

(b)

How does Rebbi Meir interpret the Pasuk?

(c)

What does Rebbi Meir then learn from the word "Yashuv"?

(d)

What is Rebbi Meir's real source for his latter ruling?

(a)

Our Mishnah includes in the list of 'Lokin', seven cases of Arayos that are Chayav Malkos 'a sister, a paternal and a maternal aunt, a wife's sister and brother's wife (sisters-in-law), a father's brother's wife (an aunt by marriage) and a Nidah. What else do they all have in common?

(b)

The list of 'Lokin' is not comprehensive, seeing as there are three hundred and sixty-five La'avin (most of which are subject to Malkos). Why did the Tana choose to insert ...

1.

... Tevel, Ma'aser Rishon she'Lo Nitlah Terumaso and Hekdesh she'Lo Nifdeh?

2.

... Ma'aser Sheini that has not been redeemed?

3.

... most other La'avin in our Mishnah?

(c)

Why does the Tana then include 'Almanah le'Kohen Gadol' and 'Gerushah va'Chalutzah le'Kohen Hedyot' in the list?

(d)

In that case, why does a Kohen only receive one set of Malkos for a woman who is both a Gerushah and a Chalutzah?

5)
(a)

He also includes 'Mamzares u'Nesinah le'Yisrael'. From which Pasuk in Va'eschanan does he learn 'Nesinah le'Yisrael'?

(b)

What about a 'bas Yisrael le'Nasin u'le'Mamzer'? Will Malkos also apply there as well?

(c)

The La'av for Nosar is the Pasuk in Tetzaveh "ve'Sarafta es ha'Nosar ba'Eish, Lo Ye'achel". What do we learn from the continuation of the Pasuk "Ki Kodesh hu"?

6)
(a)

What is the difference between 'ha'Mefatem es ha'Shemen' and 'ha'Sach be'Shemen ha'Mishchah'?

(b)

Which Pasuk in Emor is the source for the La'av for eating ...

1.

... Tevel?

2.

... Ma'aser Rishon whose Terumah has not been taken?

(c)

One receives Malkos for eating Ma'aser Sheini that has not been redeemed, from the Pasuk in Re'ei "Lo Suchal Le'echol bi'She'arecha". Where must he eat it in order to transgress?

(d)

What is the source of the La'av against ...

1.

... a Zar eating Terumah?

2.

... eating Hekdesh that has not been redeemed?

7)
(a)

The author of our Mishnah that includes Chayvei K'risus in Malkos but not Chayvei Misas Beis-Din, is Rebbi Akiva (in a Beraisa). What reason does he give for this?

(b)

What does Rebbi Yishmael say there?

(c)

What does Rebbi Yitzchak say? How does he learn this from 'Achoso'?

(d)

But how does Rebbi Yitzchak know that this extends to all Chayvei Kareis?

13b----------------------------------------13b
8)
(a)

We cite Rebbi Yishmael's source (to give Malkos to both Chayvei K'risus and Chayvei Misas Beis-Din) as the Pasuk in Ki Savo "Im Lo Sishmor La'asos es Kol Divrei ha'Torah ha'Zos ... ve'Hiflah Hash-m es Makoscha". How does he extrapolate Malkos from there?

(b)

We nevertheless preclude Chayvei Asei from Malkos, initially based on a principle of Rebbi Avin Amar Rebbi Ilai. What does he say about 'Kol Makom she'Ne'emar Hishamer, Pen ve'Al'?

(c)

What do we initially think that Rebbi Yishmael learns from "La'asos"?

9)
(a)

Finally however, we preclude a 'La'av she'Ein bo Ma'aseh' from Malkos from the same source as a 'La'av she'Nitak la'Asei' What is a 'La'av ha'Nitak la'Asei'?

(b)

From where do we learn that a 'La'av she'Nitak la'Asei' is not subject to Malkos?

(c)

What else do we learn from 'La'av de'Chasimah'?

(d)

Why do we learn specifically from that La'av more than from any other?

10)
(a)

What does Rebbi Akiva learn from the Pasuk in Ki Seitzei (in connection with Malkos) "K'dei Rish'aso"?

(b)

Why does Rebbi Yishmael disagree with this?

(c)

In that case, we ask, why does Rebbi Akiva not also preclude Chayvei Kareis from Malkos. Why will his explanation (the fact that they can do Teshuvah and be exempt from Kareis) not suffice?

(d)

What is Rebbi Avahu referring to when, to answer the Kashya, he says that the Torah specifically includes Chayvei Kareis in the Din of Malkos with the Gezeirah-Shavah of "le'Einei" "le'Einecha"?

(e)

Then why did Rebbi Akiva give the fact that one can do Teshuvah as the reason, seeing as it is really a Gezeirah-Shavah'?

11)
(a)

How do we initially refute the Kashya of Rebbi Aba bar Mamal that, in that case, why can we cnot also learn "me'Einei" (written by Misas Beis-Din of Avodas-Kochavim) from "le'Einecha" (and include Misos Beis-Din in the Din of Malkos)?

(b)

We overrule this Kashya however, with a statement of de'bei Rebbi Yishmael. What does de'bei Rebbi Yishmael say about learning a 'Gezeirah-Shavah' "Shiyvah" from "Bi'ah"?

(c)

What second objection do we raise to Rebbi Aba bar Mamal's Kashya, based on the fact that we have just learned "le'Einei" from "le'Einecha" (K'risus from Malkos)?

(d)

'Kiblah mineih Rebbi Shmuel bar Rav Yitzchak' might mean that Rebbi Shmuel bar Rav Yitzchak accepted Rebbi Aba bar Mamal's Kashya, and gave an answer. What else might it mean?

12)
(a)

In any event, to answer Rebbi Aba bar Mamal's Kashya, how do we qualify the D'rashah 'Mishum Rish'ah Achas Atah Mechayvo, ve'I Atah Mechayvo Mishum Sh'tei Rish'ayos'? In which case will the principle not apply?

(b)

Rava disagrees with the previous interpretation of the Machlokes Tana'im. According t him, even Rebbi Yishmael will agree that if they warned the culprit that he will be killed, he will not receive Malkos. Why is that?

(c)

Then in which case do Rebbi Yishmael and Rebbi Akiva argue? What is the basis of their Machlokes?

(d)

In that case, why, according to Rebbi Akiva, are Chayvei Kareis subject to Malkos? Why do we not say there too, that the Azharah is needed for Kareis?

13)
(a)

What proof does Rav Mordechai bring, quoting Avimi me'Hagrunya in the name of Rava, that Chayvei Kareis do not require an Azharah?

(b)

On what grounds do we suggest that the La'av is needed for a Korban be'Shogeg (by Chayvei Kareis), and not for Malkos?

(c)

How do we refute this proof? What other reason might there be for not bringing a Korban, for contravening Pesach and Milah be'Shogeg?

(d)

Ravina reinstates our original interpretation of Rebbi Akiva, and he takes his statement literally, 'she'Im Asu Teshuvah, Beis-Din shel Ma'alah Mochlin lahen'. How does he answer the Kashya that we asked earlier 'Ha Lo Avud Teshuvah'?
