6)[line 14]למה צדיקים דומין בפני שכינה...L'MAH TZADIKIM DOMIN BIFNEI SHECHINAH...- Upon the description of a righteous individual being lit up by the light emanating from HaSh-m, Rava comments that a Tzadik is compared to a candle, and HaSh-m to a torch. From this we clearly see that the light of a torch is greater than that of a candle.

17a)[line 32]בעילאי ובתתאיB'ILA'EI UV'SATA'EI- with [holes] high [enough] and with [holes] low [enough that one does not normally store objects in them]

30)[line 44]כשהכלב יכול לחפש אחריוKESHEHA'KELEV YACHOL L'CHAPES ACHARAV- [the Chametz is located within the debris close enough to the surface] that a dog could sniff it out. The Gemara (31b) explains that this is within three Tefachim of the surface of the pile of rubble.
8b----------------------------------------8b
31)[line 6]סכנת כשפיםSAKANAS KESHAFIM- the danger of [the Nochri suspecting the Jew of performing] witchcraft [and then retaliating]
32)[line 11]היכא דשכיח היזיקא שאניHEICHA D'SHECHI'ACH HEZEIKA SHANI- (Earlier, when discussing the possibility of being stung by a scorpion while searching for Chametz under a pile of rubble, the Gemara did not suggest this answer.

42)[line 23]בהליכה למה ליB'HALICHAH LAMAH LI- why is it necessary to prove from a verse that he will not be damaged while on his way to do a Mitzvah?
43)[line 24]מפני מה אין פירות גינוסרMIPNEI MAH EIN PEIROS GINOSAR- It is not clear why the Gemara mentions this here. The MAHARSHA explains that the reason given by the Gemara for this is similar to the reason why one who does not own land is not obligated in Aliyah l'Regel; since he cannot go to Yerushalayim "to rejoice in the fruit of the land that HaSh-m gave him," his journey to Yerushalayim will necessarily be "she'Lo Lishma." Alternatively, perhaps the Torah did not want people to have ulterior motives for journeying to Yerushalayim since, if such reasons exist, people may come to travel there only for the ulterior motive and not at all with the intention of fulfilling a Mitzvah. Since their purpose in traveling does not include a Mitzvah, the members of their household who remain behind will not be protected by the merit of the Mitzvah, as is evident from the previous Gemara. (M. KORNFELD)
44)[line 25]פירות גינוסרPEIROS GINOSAR- the very sweet fruits that grow in the region of the Kineret, known for its special climate and bounty of superb fruits; Ginosar is an acronym for Ganei Sarim (prince's gardens; BEREISHIS RABAH ch. 98)

Barrels in a wine cellar are assumed to be stacked one on top of the other, in rows extending from one side of the room to the other, and from the floor to the ceiling.
