Implied question: Maseches Derech Eretz (Zuta 8) brings an episode in which R. Akiva found a Mes Mitzvah on the road and carried it four Mil until he took it to a cemetery;

When he came to R. Yehoshua and R. Eliezer and told them, they said to him "for every step you took, it is as if you spilled innocent blood!" (You should not have neglected learning!)

Answer: They did not rebuke him for being Batel from learning, rather, for moving the Mes from its place. A Mes Mitzvah acquires its place (we bury it there).

Inference: Automatically, we understand that for one who did not read [Mikra] or learn [Mishnah] there is a Shi'ur, and we are Mevatel Talmud Torah for him only up to what is needed for engaging [in his burial].

Distinction: This is only regarding Bitul Torah. Regarding Bitul Melachah, everyone in the city is forbidden [to work];

In Mo'ed Katan 27b, we do not distinguish regarding Isur Melachah between one who read and learned, and one who did not read and learn.

Explanation: This is due to the honor of the dead.

Distinction: However, trees that they plant there are permitted. It is not a problem of honor of the dead, since they are not on the graves themselves.

Assertion: We must discuss Minchah of Yom Kipur that fell on Shabbos.

Regarding this, we say that we interrupt the order that falls on that Shabbos (we should have read the start of Ha'azinu or v'Zos ha'Berachah), and read in Parshas Arayos;

The same applies (we interrupt the order) whenever only three read, e.g. fasts, Ma'amados, Chanukah and Purim.

Suggestion: Perhaps we discuss Shacharis of Yom Kipur, when we read in Acharei Mos, six if it is on a weekday, and seven if it is Shabbos!

Rejection: If so, why does it say Yom Kipur? The same applies to all Mo'adim!

Explanation: It is not really the time for seeding. This is not the time it explains in Bava Metzi'a (106b)!

Rather, it means that the end of the time for seeding, and the grain and Zera'im have already grown. Then, the Kil'ayim is recognizable;

Before this, they are not recognizable.

Question: The one who says that it was derived from the other, why did he say it? Since we know the other, all the more so this!

Answer: The one who said it was in Rav's region. He holds that when Rosh Chodesh Adar is on Shabbos, we take out only two Sifrei Torah. They did not know R. Yitzchak's other teaching at all!

This is why he needed to teach about Rosh Chodesh Teves that falls on Shabbos, that we take out three Sifrei Torah.

Explanation: This means that we do not make Chanukah primary.

Implied question: The Halachah [always] follows Rabah against Rav Yosef! (There are only three exceptions, in Bava Basra. Why did the Gemara need to say that the Halachah follows Rabah?)

Answer: It needed to rule like him because other Amora'im argue with him.
