3)[line 30]àúðïESNAN

An Esnan is an item given to a harlot for her wage, which may not be brought as a Korban, as stated in Devarim 23:19. For example, if a person gives a sheep to a harlot as her wage, she, or anyone else, may not designate that sheep as a Korban.

(Vayikra 21:15) - When a Kohen marries a Jewish woman who is forbidden to the Kohanim (e.g. a divorcee), the child born to them is profaned from the Kehunah and has the same status as a Yisrael (see Background to Bechoros 47:4).

If a man attempts to be Mekadesh (betroth) a Nochri woman or a woman who is prohibited to him by a transgression punishable by Kares, the Kidushin does not take effect.

6)[line 13]á÷ìáåïB'KALBON (TERUMAS HA'LISHKAH / KALBON)

(a)In the time of the Beis ha'Mikdash, everyone was obligated to give a half-Shekel to the Beis ha'Mikdash for the purchase of the public sacrifices (see Background to Menachos 46:28). Usually, each person would have to give an additional small amount called a Kalbon (which was the equivalent of 1/24 of a half-Shekel).

(b)The Tiferes Yisrael explains why the Kalbon was added. At times the Gaba'im of Hekdesh would need to exchange the half-Shekels into whole Shekels or vice-versa. The Kalbon was added in order that Hekdesh should not suffer a loss due to the exchange rate. This explanation is based on the words of Rashi (Beitzah 39b DH keshe'Chayavin). Rashi adds that two brothers who are partners must give two Kalbonos.

(c)The Rambam explains the necessity of adding a Kalbon somewhat differently. Since everyone was obligated to bring a half-Shekel, the Rambam tells us, half-Shekels were in great demand. Therefore, a Shekel was worth less than two half-Shekels. If two people would give one whole Shekel, they would have to add a Kalbon to make up for that loss. Accordingly, if two brothers would bring one whole Shekel together, they would give only one Kalbon. If they would each bring a half-Shekel, they would not add anything.
