(a) How do we answer the question that in fact, this ruling is obvious?

(b) What ...
1. ... do the Rabbanan learn from the word "Mezuzos" (plural)?
2. ... does Rebbi Meir learn from the repetition of the word "Mezuzos" in the second Parshah of the Sh'ma), according to Rebbi Yishmael in another Beraisa?

6)
(a) What does the Beraisa learn from the 'Gezeirah-Shavah' "u'Chesavtam" (by Mezuzah) "Ve'chasav lah" (by Get)? What would we otherwise have thought?
(b) Which alternative Pasuk (in Ki Savo) do we cite for the 'Gezeirah-Shavah', from which we will learn that the Mezuzah must be written directly on the door-post?
(c) Why do we then opt to learn it from Get, and not from the stones?
(d) And what do we then learn from the Pasuk in Yirmiyah "Va'yomer lahem Baruch, mi'Piv Yikarei ... va'Ani Kosev al ha'Seifer bi'Deyo"?

(a) Rav Acha b'rei de'Rava asked Rav Ashi how a 'Gezeirah-Shavah' can possibly change the meaning of the words "al Mezuzos" (implying directly on the door-post). What did he reply based on the word "u'Chesavtam" followed by "al Mezuzos"?
(b) And what did he reply when he asked him why we then need the 'Gezeirah-Shavah'?
(c) We ask on our Mishnah (which rules that even one letter is Me'akev) 'P'shita'. What does Rav Yehudah Amar Rav's initially answer?
(d) Since however, that too is obvious, we answer with another statement of Rav Yehudah Amar Rav. In which case does he render a letter Pasul even though it is written correctly?

(a) Rebbi Yishmael in a Beraisa learns the four Parshiyos of Tefilin from the three times that the Torah writes "le'Totafos". Considering that "le'Totafos" is plural, why four times and not six?
(b) Rebbi Akiva maintains that this is not necessary. How does he derive it from the word itself?
(c) What does the Tana in another Beraisa learn from the Pasuk in Bo "u'le'Zikaron Bein Einecha"?
(d) What would we otherwise have thought?

(d) The Beraisa concludes 've'Im Ein Charitzan Nikar, Pesulos'. What does this mean?

(b) Why the difference?
(c) What creates this distinction?
(d) How do we establish Rebbi Yossi's previous statement, to reconcile it with that of Rav Chananyah in the name of Rav ...
1. ... assuming that we hold 'Hazmanah La'av Milsa hi'?
2. ... according to those who hold 'Hazmanah Milsa hi'?

(a) The Beraisa requires 'Kadeish' and 'Vehayah ki Yevi'acha' to be on the right side of the Tefilin, and 'Sh'ma' and 'Vehayah im Shamo'a' on the left. How does Abaye reconcile this with the Beraisa, which says the opposite?
(b) The Beraisa concludes 've'ha'Korei, Korei ke'Sidran'. What does he mean?
