34)[line 51]שפחותSHEFACHOS- maidservants. Rav Malchiyo (or Rav Malchiya, according to Rav Papa) rules that the Halachah follows the opinion of Rebbi Eliezer quoted in the Mishnah in Kesuvos (5:5, Daf 59b), that even a bride who brings one hundred maidservants into the new household must do productive physical work, because idleness only leads to immorality.
35)[line 51]וגומותV'GUMOS- and follicles, cavities. In Nidah 52a, Rav Chelbo rules that two pubic hairs that are a sign of legal adulthood must grow from well-defined pores. Rav Malchiyo rules that the presence of two such pores is itself a sign of adulthood, even if hairs are not found growing from them, since we assume that the hairs were there but fell out.
36)[line 52]וגבינהV'GEVINAH- and cheese. Rav Malchiya explained (Avodah Zarah 35b) that the reason for the prohibition of the Mishnah (ibid. 29b) against cheeses made by Nochrim is that they smear pig fat on them.

43)[line 8]לתרפותL'TARPUS- [those heading] to aplace of idol-worship. (It is forbidden to do business with someone who is on his way to a house of idol-worship, since he is likely, upon his arrival, to give thanks to his idol for his good fortune.)

50)[line 23]שדעתו יפה שורפה חיהSHE'DA'ATO YAFAH SHORFAH CHAYAH- a (Kohen) that is not squeamish may eat it (the rennet) raw
51)[line 24]מועליןMO'ALIN (ME'ILAH)
(a)One may not derive any personal benefit from Hekdesh (that which is consecrated for use in the Beis ha'Mikdash) (Devarim 12:17). The minimum benefit one must derive in order to transgress this prohibition is that equal to the value of a Perutah (the smallest coin in circulation at the time of the Gemara).
(b)One who transgresses this prohibition intentionally receives Malkus (lashes). (This is the majority opinion; according to Rebbi, he is liable to receive Misah b'Yedei Shamayim (see Background to Yevamos 8:31).) In addition, he must reimburse Hekdesh for the benefit which he received. The object itself remains Hekdesh.
(c)If one benefited from Hekdesh unintentionally, he must offer a ram worth a minimum of two Sela'im as an Asham Me'ilah. He must then reimburse Hekdesh for the value of his benefit and add an additional fifth (of the ensuing total, equal to a quarter of the original value). The object then loses its Kedushah. This is true only of an object that has the status of Kedushas Damim (it itself is not usable by Hekdesh, but rather its value is consecrated to Hekdesh). An object with the status of Kedushas ha'Guf (an object with intrinsic Kedushah, such as the utensils used in the Beis ha'Mikdash or live animals pledged to be offered as certain Korbanos) does not lose its Kedushah under any circumstances (Rosh Hashanah 28a).
(d)The Gemara here teaches that even though the Rabanan disagree with those who permit the eating of an Olah's rennet, they agree that mid'Oraisa it is not prohibited and one does not transgress Me'ilah; an Olah's rennet is prohibited only mid'Rabanan.
52)[line 27]השיאו לדבר אחרHISI'O L'DAVAR ACHER- he diverted him to another topic
53)[line 38]מעגלה ערופהME'EGLAH ARUFAH
(a)If a Jew is found murdered in a field in Eretz Yisrael and his killer is unknown, the Torah requires an Eglah Arufah to atone for his death (Devarim 21:1).
(b)First, five elders from the Beis Din of the Lishkas ha'Gazis (the supreme court which sat in the Beis ha'Mikdash) measure the distances between the body and the cities nearest to it in order to determine which of them is the closest.
(c)The elders of that city then bring a female calf that has never been made to perform any work to a Nachal Eisan (a swiftly flowing stream - RAMBAM Hilchos Rotze'ach 9:2; a valley with infertile soil - RASHI). They strike the back of its neck with a cleaver (Arifah), sundering its spinal column, gullet, and windpipe. No benefit may be derived from the dead calf.
(d)The elders then wash their hands and state, "Our hands did not spill this blood, nor did our eyes see [the murder]" (Devarim 21:7). This proclamation carries with it the assertion that the dead man had not been sent from their city without provisions for his journey or proper accompaniment. The Kohanim present then beseech, "Atone for Your people Yisrael whom You have redeemed, HaSh-m, and do not place [the guilt for] innocent blood in the midst of Your people Yisrael" (ibid. 21:8). Following the procedure of the Eglah Arufah, HaSh-m forgives his nation for the innocent blood that had been spilled.
54)[line 55]אינסוכי לא מנסכיIY MISHUM INSUCHEI, LO MENASCHEI- if [you suggest that] there is a concern that they (the Nochrim) use such wine for their libations, they indeed do not use such wine for libations
