1)[line 1]מהיפרכיא להיפרכיאME'HIPARCHYA L'HIPARCHYA- from one district (at the northern-most part of Eretz Yisrael) to another [adjacent] district (in Syria)

2)[line 1]אין משְׂתכריםEIN MISTAKRIM- We may not make a profit from...

3)[line 5]סבר לה כר''י [בן בתירא]SAVAR LAH K'REBBI YEHUDAH [BEN BESEIRA]- [with regard to making a profit by selling wine, Rebbi Elazar ben Azaryah] holds like Rebbi Yehudah ben Beseira, who permits taking wine out of Eretz Yisrael. By decreasing the amount of wine, or by making it more difficult to get, frivolity in Eretz Yisrael is decreased.

4)[line 5]באתריה דר' אלעזר בן עזריה, שכיח משחאB'ASREI D'REBBI ELAZAR BEN AZARYAH SHECHI'ACH MISHCHA- in the place where Rebbi Elazar ben Azaryah lived, oil was abundant

5)[line 9]מתריעין על פרקמטיא [שהוזלה]MASRI'IN AL PERAKMATYA [SHE'HUZLAH]- it is permitted to make a public prayer gathering [to beseech HaSh-m for help] when merchandise has cheapened so much [that the livelihood of the people is at stake]. This is permitted even on Shabbos, when such activities are normally prohibited because they are not in the joyful spirit of Shabbos.

6)[line 9]כלי פשתןKELEI FISHTAN- linen garments

7)[line 11]אין יוצאין מארץ לחו''לEIN YOTZ'IN ME'ARETZ L'CHUTZ LA'ARETZ- it is not permitted to leave Eretz Yisrael to go outside of Eretz Yisrael

8)[line 11]אא''כ עמדו סאתים בסלעELA IM KEN AMDU SE'ASAYIM B'SELA- unless [inflation has increased so much that] two Se'ah [of wheat] costs one Sela

9)[line 13]אלימלך מחלון וכליוןELIMELECH MACHLON V'CHILYON- Elimelech, and his two sons, Machlon and Kilyon, were the leaders of the Jews in Eretz Yisrael. They left Eretz Yisrael when a severe famine struck the land, and they took refuge in the land of Moav. Elimelech died there (as punishment for abandoning the people of Eretz Yisrael and for deciding to settle in Moav), and Machlon and Kilyon married two Moavite women, Orpah and Ruth. Machlon and Kilyon died, too, in Moav. The widow of Elimelech, Naomi, decided to return to Eretz Yisrael. Ruth, the widow of her son, begged Naomi to permit her to return to Eretz Yisrael with her, as she sought to join the Jewish people. She became a Giyores Tzedek, and was the forebear of David ha'Melech and, ultimately, Mashi'ach.

10a)[line 13]גדולי הדורGEDOLEI HA'DOR- the great leaders of the generation

b)[line 14]ופרנסי הדורPARNASEI HA'DOR- the providers of the generation

11)[line 15]"[וַתֵּלַכְנָה שְׁתֵּיהֶם עַד בּוֹאָנָה בֵּית לָחֶם; וַיְהִי כְּבוֹאָנָה בֵּית לֶחֶם,] וַתֵּהֹם כָּל הָעִיר עֲלֵיהֶן וַתֹּאמַרְנָה הֲזֹאת נָעֳמִי""[VA'TEILACHNAH SHTEIHEM AD BO'ANAH BEIS LACHEM; VA'YEHI K'VO'ANAH BEIS LECHEM,] VA'TEHOM KOL HA'IR ALEIHEN, VA'TOMARNAH 'HA'ZOS NAOMI?'" - "[And the two of them walked until they arrived in Beis Lechem; and it was when they arrived in Beis Lechem, that] the entire town was amazed at them, and they declared 'Is this Naomi?'" - (Rus 1:19) (NAOMI AND RUS ARRIVE IN BEIS LECHEM)

(a)Once Rus decided to convert, the Pasuk places her on a par with Naomi, demonstrating the deep love that HaSh-m feels towards converts.

(b)Elimelech and his family were leaders of the generation, whom everybody had known. When Naomi departed, she departed with her prominent husband and two sons. She departed as a wealthy, aristocratic woman. Now, ten years later, she was returning a childless widow, broken and penniless, accompanied by an unknown Moabite woman.

(c)According to the Gemara, what the people were saying was, "See what happens to a person who leaves Eretz Yisrael!"

12)[line 16]חזיתםCHAZISEM- look! (The MAHARSHA says that the Gemara is reading the word "הֲזֹאת" "ha'Zos" in the verse as "חזות" "Chazos.")

13a)[line 18]עד דלא שכיב שיכבאAD D'LO SHACHIV SHICHVA- before the dead one dies

b)[line 18]קיימא מנו בייתיהKAIMA MANO VAISEI- the [future] manager of his house is prepared [to take her place] (RASHBAM, RABEINU GERSHOM; see alternative explanation in Rabeinu Gershom)

14)[line 19]אבצןIVTZAN- Ivtzan was one of the Shoftim, who served as the leaders of the Jewish People from the time that the people entered Eretz Yisrael until the time that a king was anointed. Ivtzan, from Beis Lechem, served as the Shofet of the Jewish people from the year 2785 until 2792 (975-968 BCE) (Shoftim 12:9), almost one hundred years before Shaul was anointed as the first king. The Gemara here identifies Ivtzan as Boaz, who married Ruth, and who was the forebear of David ha'Melech.

15)[line 20]משתאותMISHTA'OS- festive meals. The RASHBAM explains that the two festive meals for each child were the festive meal of the Eirusin, and the festive meal of the Nisu'in (the seven days of feasting being counted as one long festive meal). RABEINU GERSHOM explains that the two festive meals were the festive meal at the time of the child's birth, and the festive meal at the time of his or her wedding.

16)[line 20]"וַיְהִי לוֹ שְׁלֹשִׁים בָּנִים, וּשְׁלֹשִׁים בָּנוֹת שִׁלַּח הַחוּצָה, וּשְׁלֹשִׁים בָּנוֹת הֵבִיא לְבָנָיו מִן הַחוּץ; וַיִּשְׁפֹּט אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים""VA'YEHI LO SHELOSHIM BANIM, U'SHELOSHIM BANOS SHILACH HA'CHUTZAH, U'SHELOSHIM BANOS HEVI L'VANAV MIN HA'CHUTZ; VA'YISHPOT ES YISRAEL SHEVA SHANIM"- "And he (Ivtzan) had thirty sons, and thirty daughters whom he sent out [to the homes of their husbands], and took in thirty daughters from outside [of his house, i.e. the houses of their fathers,] for his sons; and he led Yisrael for seven years" (Shoftim 12:9).

17a)[line 22]אחד בבית אביוECHAD B'VEIS AVIV- one [festive meal] in the home of his father (Ivtzan)

b)[line 23]ואחד בבית אביוECHAD B'VEIS CHAMIV- one [festive meal] in the home of his father-in-law (This entry follows the opinion of the RASHBAM cited above, entry #15. RABEINU GERSHOM ibid. clearly is not Gores the phrase "Echad b'Veis Aviv v'Echad b'Veis Chamiv." Similarly, this Girsa, starting from "uve'Chol Achas v'Achas," does not appear in Dikdukei Sofrim #1.)

18)[line 23]ובכולן לא זימן את מנוחUV'CHULAN LO ZIMEN ES MANO'ACH- and he did not invite Mano'ach to any of them

19a)[line 23]כודנא עקרהKUDNA AKARAH- a barren mule

b)[line 24]במאי פרעא ליB'MAI PAR'A LI?- with what will he pay me back? (see MAHARSHA)

20a)[line 24]בחייך דילדת שיתיןB'CHAYACH D'YALADT SHITIN- if you gave birth to sixty [children who will die] during your lifetime,

b)[line 25]שיתין למה ליךSHITIN LAMAH LICH?- what are the sixty worth to you?

21)[line 25]איכפל ואוליד חד דמשיתין זריזICHPAL V'OLID CHAD DEMI'SHITIN ZARIZ- (a) take another [wife] and give birth to one who will be more successful than the sixty. This refers to Ivtzan/Boaz, whose sixty children died during his lifetime, whereupon he married Ruth and gave birth to Oved, from whom David ha'Melech was descended (RASHBAM); (b) have more [children] and you will give birth to one who will be more successful that the sixty. This refers to Mano'ach, who eventually gave birth to Shimshon, who was more successful than Ivtzan's sixty children (RABEINU GERSHOM)

22)[line 25](סימן מלך אברהם עשר שנים שנפטר נתנשא לבדו)(SIMAN MELECH AVRAHAM ESER SHANIM SHE'NIFTAR NISNASEI LEVADO)- this is a mnemonic device for remembering the following statements that were made by Rav Chanan bar Rava in the name of Rav:

25)[line 30]וסימניך, טמא טמא טהור טהורV'SIMANICH: TAMEI TAMEI, TAHOR TAHOR- and the mnemonic is: Tamei Tamei (i.e. the name of the mother of the Tamei, defiled, person - Haman - was a Tamei animal, the raven), Tahor Tahor (i.e. the name of the mother of the Tahor, pure, person - Avraham Avinu - was a Tahor animal, the lamb)

26)[line 32]לתשובת המיניםLI'TESHUVAS HA'MINIM- as a response to the heretics (who question what the name of Avraham's mother was, etc.)

And the name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were] Machlon and Chilyon, [important men (or from Efrat - Beis Lechem), and they arrived in the fields of Moav, and they remained there.]" (Rus 1:1-2) (ELIMELECH AND THE FAMINE)

(a)Megilas Rus took place during the era of the Judges, before Shmuel crowned Sha'ul ha'Melech as the first king of Yisrael. The name of the Shofet who ruled during that period was Ivtzan (see 91a).

(b)Elimelech and his family left Eretz Yisrael during a time of famine, see notes 9 and 11 above.

(c)One sin led to another, until verse 4 informs us that his sons married non-Jewish women. Machlon married the daughter of Eglon, the king of Moav. The fact that the king took him as a son-in-law may well testify as to the family's importance. This did nothing, however, to save them from Divine wrath.

(d)HaSh-m struck at first by depriving them of their wealth, and then by killing them as well, leaving their poor mother, the righteous Naomi, with nothing but two non-Jewish daughters-in-law.

(e)See also Background to Sotah 42:53.

55)[line 26]"[בְּנֵי שֵׁלָה בֶן יְהוּדָה...] וְיוֹקִים וְאַנְשֵׁי כֹזֵיבָא וְיוֹאָשׁ וְשָׂרָף אֲשֶׁר בָּעֲלוּ לְמוֹאָב וְיָשֻׁבִי לָחֶם; וְהַדְּבָרִים עַתִּיקִים""[BENEI SHELAH VEN YEHUDAH...] V'YOKIM V'ANSHEI CHOZEVA V'YO'ASH V'SARAF ASHER BA'ALU L'MOAV V'YASHUVI LACHEM; VEHA'DEVARIM ATIKIM"- "[The sons of Shelah, the son of Yehudah were...] Yokim, the men of Kozeva, Yo'ash, and Saraf who presided over Moav, and Yashuvi-Lachem; these matters are based on ancient traditions" (Divrei ha'Yamim I 4:21-22) - The Gemara here asks why Machlon and Kilyon are represented by different names (Yo'ash and Saraf) in this verse. The Gemara later will expound the rest of this verse.

56)[line 28]שנתיאשו מן הגאולהSHE'NISYA'ASHU MIN HA'GE'ULAH- for they despaired of the redemption [from the famine] (RABEINU GERSHOM)

57)[line 29]שנתחייבו שריפה למקוםSHE'NISCHAIVU SEREIFAH LA'MAKOM- for they became deserving of being punished by Sereifah (burning) by HaSh-m

58)[line 31]שעשו גופן חוליןSHE'ASU GUFAN CHULIN- for they made their bodies profane (by leaving Eretz Yisrael and entering the land of the Nochrim, which is Tamei)

59)[line 31]שנתחייבו כליה למקוםSHE'NISCHAIVU KELAYAH LA'MAKOM- for they became deserving of being destroyed by HaSh-m

60)[line 34]שהקים שבועה לאנשי גבעוןSHE'HEIKIM SHEVU'AH L'ANSHEI GIV'ON - who established an oath for the people of Giv'on (NESINIM)

In the times of Yehoshua, the Giv'onim (a people of the Chivi, one of the seven nations whom the Jewish People were commanded to destroy upon entering Eretz Yisrael) came and presented themselves before Yehoshua as if they came from a far-off land. Since they claimed not to be residents of Eretz Yisrael, they requested to be converted and to make peace with the Jewish People. After Yehoshua agreed to accept them, it was discovered that they were one of the seven prohibited nations. Having already accepted them, Yehoshua did not want to break his oath and covenant with them (even though they tricked him and the oath was uttered in error) so as not to cause a Chilul HaSh-m (a desecration of HaSh-m's Name). Yehoshua accepted them and appointed them to be woodchoppers and water drawers to supply the needs for the sacrificial service on the Mizbe'ach (Yehoshua 9:3-27). Earlier, in the times of Moshe Rabeinu, Giv'onim also came to be converted as they did in the times of Yehoshua, and Moshe also made them woodchoppers and water drawers. (This incident is not written explicitly. It is stated in the Gemara Yevamos 79a, and is based on the verse in Devarim 29:10.) These people became known as "Nesinim" (from the root "Nasan," to give) since they were "given over" by Moshe and Yehoshua ["va'Yitenem..." - "And he appointed them..." (Yehoshua 9:27)] to perform the tasks of chopping wood and drawing water.

61)[line 34]שכזבוKIZVU- they lied (see previous entry)

62)[line 37]דכתיב "מָצָאתִי דָּוִד עַבְדִּי", וכתיב "שְׁתֵּי בְנוֹתֶיךָ הַנִּמְצָאוֹת"DI'CHESIV "MATZASI DAVID AVDI," U'CHESIV "SHTEI VENOSECHA HA'NIMTZA'OS"- for it is written, "I have found David, my servant" (Tehilim 89:21), and it is written, "[Arise, take your wife and] your two daughters who are present" (Bereishis 19:15). - By using the similar words "Matzasi" and "Nimtza'os" in these two verses, HaSh-m was alluding to the fact that David ha'Melech would descend from one of the daughters of Lot.

63)[line 37]"הֵמָּה הַיּוֹצְרִים וְיֹשְׁבֵי נְטָעִים וּגְדֵרָה, עִם הַמֶּלֶךְ בִּמְלַאכְתּוֹ יָשְׁבוּ שָׁם""HEMAH HA'YOTZRIM V'YOSHVEI NETA'IM U'GEDERAH, IM HA'MELECH BI'MELACHTO YASHVU SHAM"- "They were the potters, who dwelled in Neta'im and Gederah, with the king in his service they settled there" (Divrei ha'Yamim I 4:23) - The Gemara will expound each part of this verse.

64a)[line 38]בני יונדב בן רכבBENEI YONADAV BEN RECHAV- the sons of Yonadav ben Rechav. Yonadav ben Rechav was a descendant of Yisro, who commanded his children (Kenite converts to Judaism), and all of his descendants never to drink wine, build a house, nor plant a vineyard, but rather to live in tents all of their lives (for such living is conducive to longevity). His descendants scrupulously observed the oath that they had taken to observe his command. Indeed, the prophet Yirmeyahu rebuked the Jewish people, who turned away from the Torah and did not observe the commandments of HaSh-m, by pointing out that these people scrupulously observed the command of their ancestor, while the Jewish people failed to observe the commandments of HaSh-m.

b)[line 39]שנצרו שבועת אביהםSHE'NATZRU SHEVU'AS AVIHEM- who guarded the oath of their father (see previous entry)

65)[line 39]שגדרו פרצותיהן של ישראלSHE'GADRU PIRTZOSEIHEN SHEL YISRAEL- they repaired (or "fenced-in") the breaches of the Jewish people

66)[line 40]בן בנו של בן בנהBEN BENO SHEL BEN BENAH - the grandson of her grandson (Shlomo was the grandson of Yishai, who was the grandson of Rus). The lineage from Yehudah to Shlomo is as follows:

(a)Yehudah

(b)Peretz

(c)Chetzron

(d)Ram
