2)[line 6]מלאכה שאינה צריכה לגופהMELACHAH SHE'EINAH TZERICHAH L'GUFAH
When a person performs a Melachah (creative act) on Shabbos intentionally, but does not require the usual result of the action, Rebbi Yehudah rules that he is Chayav and Rebbi Shimon rules that he is Patur. For example, if a person digs a hole not because he needs the hole but rather because he needs the sand, this is a Melachah she'Einah Tzerichah l'Gufah. (See Insights to Shabbos 12:1.)

21)[line 22]אינו מן המוכןEINO MIN HA'MUCHAN (MUKTZAH MACHMAS ISUR)
(a)MUKTZAH - The word Muktzah literally means "set aside at the brink [of one's intentions for use]." The term is used to describe items that are set aside not to be used right now, such as wood stacked in a barn. In a broader sense, the word Muktzah includes anything that a person did not intend to use during Bein ha'Shemashos at the start of Shabbos, for whatever reason it may be.
(b)THE ARGUMENT OF THE TANA'IM - Rebbi Yehudah and Rebbi Shimon argue as to whether one may move or use on Shabbos items that fit into certain categories of Muktzah. There are at least six different categories of Muktzah over which Rebbi Yehudah and Rebbi Shimon disagree; on Shabbos, objects that fit into one of these categories may not be moved according to Rebbi Yehudah. Those categories are:
1.Hiktzehu mi'Da'ato,
2.Nolad,
3.Muktzah Machmas Isur,
4.Muktzah Machmas Mi'us,
5.Kli she'Melachto Eino Ela l'Isur,
6.Muchan la'Adam Eino Muchan l'Behemah.)
(c)There are other categories of Muktzah which may not be moved according to both Rebbi Yehudah and Rebbi Shimon. Those categories are:
1.Muktzah Machmas Gufo,
2.Huktzah l'Mitzvaso,
3.Davar she'Eino Ra'uy v'Decha'o b'Yedayim,
4.Davar he'Asur she'Lo Chashav she'Yavo l'Yedei Heter b'Shabbos.)
(d)The Mishnah is discussing oil that was placed in a lamp before Shabbos, which is Muktzah Machmas Isur. Rebbi Shimon permits using the oil after the lamp goes out, while Rebbi Yehudah prohibits it (category b:3). They agree that after Shabbos it may be used. On Shabbos, however, this oil was set aside during Bein ha'Shemashos for lighting, and removing some of it at that time would have violated the Isur of Mechabeh (extinguishing); therefore, Rebbi Yehudah rules that it becomes Muktzah Machmas Isur for the entire Shabbos.

24)[line 32]טבלTEVEL
(a)After a crop is harvested, and brought to the owner's house or yard, he must separate Terumah from the crop, which he gives to a Kohen. Although the Torah does not specify the amount to be given, the Rabanan set the requirement at approximately one fiftieth.
(b)After Terumah is removed from the produce, the first tithe to be given every year is called Ma'aser Rishon; one tenth of the produce must be given to a Levi. The Levi, in turn, must separate one tenth of his Ma'aser Rishon as Terumas Ma'aser, which is also given to a Kohen.
(c)The produce may not be eaten until both Terumos have been removed. The punishment for eating Tevel is Misah b'Yedei Shamayim.
