1)

(a)If Reuven gives his Hekdesh article to Shimon to spend on his behalf as Chulin, on what condition is ...

1. ... Reuven Mo'el?

(b)With which principle does the former ruling clash?

(c)How do we learn the current ruling from the Pasuk in Naso "ve'Ashmah ha'Nefesh ha'Hi"?

2)

(a)Based on these rulings, who will be Mo'el in a case where Reuven asks Shimon to give some meat to his guests and he gives them liver?

(b)Seeing as liver is also considered meat, on what grounds is Shimon Mo'el (See Tiferes Yisrael)?

(c)What does the Mishnah now say about a case where Reuven asks Shimon to give his guests a piece of meat, Shimon offers them two and they take three? Who is Mo'el?

(d)In the same case, under what circumstances is Reuven Mo'el but not Shimon?

(e)Why is that?

3)

(a)In a case where Reuven instructs Shimon to bring him an unspecified article from the window-sill or from the cupboard, which he does, but Reuven then says that he had in mind a different article, why is Reuven Mo'el?

(b)Based on which principle is Shimon not Mo'el?

4)

(a)If Reuven sends a Chashu (Cheresh, Shoteh or Katan) to the shop with a P'rutah of Hekdesh to buy him something and they comply with his Sh'lichus, why would we have thought that he is not Mo'el?

(b)What in fact, is the Din?

(c)Who is Mo'el in the event that they do not comply with his Shelichus?

(d)When will he be Mo'el?

5)

(a)On what dual condition will the shopkeeper be Mo'el even if Reuven sends a Pike'ach with the money?

(b)Why is that?

(c)If only Reuven remembers but not the Shali'ach, why is the Shali'ach Mo'el and not the shopkeeper?

(d)In the earlier case (where both Reuven and the Shali'ach remembered), what should the shopkeeper then do if the P'rutah has already got mixed up with his own money, when he realizes that it is a Hekdesh coin?

(e)On what principle does the Tana base this ruling?

(a)The Mishnah now discusses a case where Reuven gives Shimon a P'rutah and asks him to buy with half of it lights (See Tosfos Yom Tov) and half, wicks, and he then buys all lights or all wicks, or vice-versa. Who is Mo'el?

(b)Why is ...

1. ... Reuven not Mo'el?

2. ... Shimon not Mo'el?

(c)Then why, if Reuven asks Shimon to buy with half the P'rutah lights from one shop and with the other half, wicks from another shop, and he buys the lights from the second shop and the wicks from the fist one, is Shimon Mo'el?

(b)If the money is wrapped, the shopkeeper is not permitted to use it. What is therefore the Din regarding Me'ilah in the event that he does use the money?
