*********************GIRSA SECTION*********************

We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach and the marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is devoted to any other important corrections that Acharonim have pointed out in the Gemara, Rashi and Tosfos.

[1] Gemara 112a [line 19]:

The words "Bein Beli'ei Shemeinei Azilna" בין בליעי שמיני אזילנא

should be "Bein Beli'ei u'Shemeinei Azilna" בין בליעי ושמיני אזילנא

This is the Girsa of the Oxford manuscript (Dikdukei Sofrim #6). It is also the Girsa of Rashi and Rashbam.

[2] Gemara 112a [line 26]:

"Berirei... Tzachina Maya b'Kasei Chivrei" ברירי... צחינא מיא בכסי חיורי

The Girsa of the Aruch is

"Berirei... b'Kasei Chivrei Shechichei ברירי... בכסי חיוריה שכיחיה, without the words "Tzachina Maya." A nearly identical Gemara appears in Avodah Zarah 12b, and the Girsa there reads simply "b'Kasei Chivrei."

[3] Rashbam 112a DH Leima Lei Tzachina Maya ד"ה לימא ליה צחינא מיא:

The words "Kosos Shel Cheres" כוסות של חרס

should be "Kosos Shel Mayim" כוסות של מים

This is the Girsa in the manuscript of the Rashbam (Dikdukei Sofrim #40).

[4] Gemara 112b [line 1]:

"Mitzvah v'Guf Gadol, Ochel Peiros v'Lo Sechar" מצוה וגוף גדול אוכל פירות ולא שכר

The word "v'Lo" should be written with a "Vav" (ולו) and not with an "Aleph" (ולא). This is the correct Girsa, and is found in the Pesachim-Yoma-Chagigah manuscript and in the Oxford manuscript. This is also the Girsa in the first edition of the Ein Yakov, in Rabeinu Chananel, and in the manuscript of the Rashbam (Dikdukei Sofrim #20).

[5] Gemara 112b [line 24]:

The words "Chamimei d'Chamimei Meshadru Ilavei" חמימי דחמימי משדרו עילויה

should be "Chamimei d'Shada Ilavei" חמימי דשדא עילויה

This is the Girsa in several manuscripts and early printings (Dikdukei Sofrim #1).

[6] Gemara 112b [line 45]:

The words "she'Agras bas Machalas Hi" שאגרת בת מחלת היא

should be "she'Agras bas Machalas Yotz'ah" שאגרת בת מחלת יוצאה

This is the Girsa of the manuscripts (Dikdukei Sofrim #80).

Once Rav Papa sat down she accused him of crushing her son to death, and he was forced to flee the country (RASHI and RASHBAM). (b) Rav Papa was once in the house of an Aramis.

63)[line 35]נדה דאורייתאNIDAH D'ORAISA (NIDAH)

(a)By Torah law, a woman who has her period is a Nidah for the following seven days, whether she sees blood only that one time or for the entire seven days. After nightfall on the seventh day, she may immerse in a Mikvah to become Tehorah.

(b)Although a Nidah is permitted to her husband after immersing on the night following the seventh day, Rebbi Yishmael b'Rebbi Yosi advised Rebbi not to have relations with his wife then if she had experienced bleeding that day. This is due to the concern that she may resume bleeding during relations.

64)[line 36]מעיןMA'AYAN- (lit. a well) the womb

65)[line 36]זיבהZIVAH

(a)The eleven days which follow the seven days of Nidah (see above, entry #62) are termed days of Zivah. If a woman experiences uterine bleeding during this time for either one day or two consecutive days, she is known as a Zavah Ketanah and is Teme'ah. As long as she does not bleed over the following night and day, she may immerse in a Mikvah to become Tehorah. She may even immerse the morning immediately following the bleeding, although whether or not she becomes Tehorah is contingent upon whether or not she sees blood later on that day. A woman in such a situation is called a Shomeres Yom Keneged Yom, for she must watch the following day in order to determine whether or not she has continued to bleed.

(b)If a woman has a show of blood for three consecutive days during her eleven days of Zivah, she attains the status of a Zavah Gedolah. In order to become Tehorah, she must count seven "clean days" during which she experiences no further bleeding. On the morning of the seventh clean day she may immerse in a Mikvah. As long as she experiences no further bleeding over the rest of that day she is Tehorah and no longer a Zavah. She must then offer a Korban Zavah in order to enter the Beis ha'Mikdash or partake of Kodshim. This Korban consists of two regular doves or turtle-doves, one offered as an Olah and the other as a Chatas.

73)[line 49]במטותא מינךB'MATUSA MINACH- I beg of you

74)[line 51]נחמניNACHMANI- Abaye. He was called "Nachmani" since (a) Rabah bar Nachmani, who raised his nephew Abaye, gave him this name in memory of his own father (RASHI Gitin 34b); (b) this was his real name. He was called Abaye by his uncle Rabah since Rabah did not want to utter his father's name out of respect. Abaye is a distorted form of Aramaic for "my father" (ARUCH, Erech Abaye, in the name of the GE'ONIM; also cited by Gilyon ha'Shas to Gitin ibid.).
