(a) How did Rava extrapolate from the Pasuk in Vayelech "v'Anochi Hastir Astir Panai Mehem ba'Yom ha'Hu" that he still keeps contact with us, albeit only through dreams?
(b) What did Rav Yosef add, based on the Pasuk in Yeshayah "uv'Tzel Yadi Kisisich"?
(c) An Apikores hinted the Pasuk in Vayelech to Rebbi Yehoshua in front of the emperor of Rome, and, in response, Rebbi Yehoshua hinted back the Pasuk in Yeshayah. What happened next?
(d) In what context did Rebbi Yehoshua quote the Pasuk in Yirmeyahu "Avdah Etzah mi'Banim, Nisrechah Chachmasam" (or the Pasuk in Vayishlach "va'Yomer Nis'ah v'Nelechah, v'Elchah l'Negdecha")? Which problem did he alleviate with this Pasuk?

(a) Rebbi Ila was once climbing a ladder in the house of Rabah bar Shilo, when he overheard a child quoting the Pasuk in Amos "u'Magid l'Adam Mah Sicho". How did Rav explain the Pasuk? To whom does it refer?
(b) Why did the Pasuk trouble him?
(c) In light of his own interpretation, how did Rav then justify to Rav Kahana the fact that he had spoken lightheartedly to his wife before Tashmish?
(d) Rav, explaining a Pasuk in Yirmeyahu, states that Hash-m weeps in a specific location called 'Mistarim'. Rebbi Shmuel bar Yitzchak explains "Mipnei Geiva" (the cause of His weeping) to mean because of the pride of Yisrael that has been taken from them and given to the nations of the world. How does Rebbi Shmuel bar Nachmeni explain it?

(a) We learn from the Pasuk in Divrei ha'Yamim 1 "Hod v'Hadar le'Fanav, Oz v'Chedvah bi'Mekomo" that Hash-m only weeps in the inner chambers. How do we reconcile this with the Pasuk in Yeshayah "Vayikra Hash-m Elokim Tzevakos ba'Yom ha'Hu l'Bechi ul'Misped ... ", implying that He weeps in the outer chambers too?
(b) How do we prove that this is so?
(c) According to the first Lashon, Yirmeyahu repeated 'Dim'ah' (tear) three times in the Pasuk "v'Damo'a Tidmah v'Sered Eini Dim'ah Ki Nishbah Eder Hash-m"; twice for the two Batei Mikdash, and once for Yisrael who went into Galus. What does the third allusion to tears represent, according to the second Lashon?
(d) How does the second Lashon explain the conclusion of the Pasuk "Ki Nishbah Eider Hash-m" (which seems to conform to the first Lashon)?

(a) The Beraisa teaches us that Hash-m weeps every day over someone who is able to study Torah but fails to do so and over someone who is unable to study Torah (full-time) but does (absorbing funds that ought to go to others who are, as well as not joining the camp of Zevulun, where he is needed). What is the third person over whom he weeps?
(b) Why did Rebbi drop his Sefer Kinos (Eichah) when he arrived at the Pasuk "Hishlich mi'Shamayim Eretz" (see also Agados Maharsha)?

(a) What Berachah did that blind man give Rebbi and Rebbi Chiya whom they had just visited, when they got up to leave?
(b) Rebbi commented to Rebbi Chiya that he had almost prevented him from receiving such a beautiful Berachah. Why did he say that?
(c) The blind man learned the significance of greeting from Rebbi Yakov. How did Rebbi Yakov convey that lesson? What did he used to do?
(d) What did Rebbi Yakov Darshen to his Rebbe from the Pasuk in Tehilim "v'Yechi Od la'Netzach Lo Yir'eh ha'Shachas, Ki Yir'u Chachamim Yamusu"?

(a) Why did they confer upon Rav Idi the father of Rebbi Yakov bar Idi the title of 'Bar Bei Rav d'Chad Yoma'?
(b) Why did he used to do that? Why did he not remain in the Beis ha'Medrash for longer?
(c) Rav Idi initially thought that they were making fun of him. What Derashah did Rebbi Yochanan make from the Pasuk in Yeshayah "v'Osi Yidreshun Yom Yom" to prove that Rav Idi's behavior was most praiseworthy?
(d) What did he also Darshen from the Pasuk in Shelach Lecha "b'Mispar ha'Yamim Asher Tartem es ha'Aretz ... Arba'im Shanah"?
