1) R’ Akiva says that there are three times in the year that they do Trumas Halishka, fifteen days before each Yom Tov. These are also the times that you separate Maasar Beheima. R’ Yochanan explains: these are days that the animals give birth. R’ Yehoshua b. Levi says: in order that there be animals available for those going to the Mikdash for the Regel. (Korban Haeida: since it’s not usual for people to Shecht any of the new animals until Maasar is taken.) R’ Yuden explains: so that they shouldn’t transgress Baal Tachar, (so not to forget to bring them to the Mikdash, or not to have too many animals Maasar at the same time that you can’t bring them all on one Yom Tov). R’ Yosa says: if you leave Tevel without separating the Trumah and Maasar, you transgress Baal Tachar. (Korban Heida: therefore, you need to separate the Maasar Beheima at the time that they're born.)
2) R' Meir holds that the first of Elul is the Rosh Hashana for Maasar Beheima (that you can't mix the animals born in different years together). That’s because Nissan is the Rosh Hashana for it becoming pregnant, and those born before Elul became pregnant before Nissan, and those born after Elul became pregnant after Nissan. R' Elazar and R' Shimon held that the first of Tishrei is the Rosh Hashana of Maasar Beheima, since the Pasuk seems to compare those who are born early in the season to those born late, so to say that both those born in Av and in Elul must be in the same year. Therefore, the Rosh Hashanna needs to be after Elul. R’ Akiva and R’ Yishmael have the same argument. Therefore, Ben Azai was stringent and had Elul in its own separation, and if you have five animals born in Av and in Elul and in Tishrei, they don’t combine, (but they combine having five in Tishrei and five in the next Av).
3) We have a Mishna that all that were born between the first of Tishrei and the twenty ninth of Elul, they combine. R’ Yosa explains that this is not like fruits of the tree that their year follows when they’re originally formed, or else it would depend on when they became pregnant. This is not like grains and olives that follow when they grow a third, which is the finishing of the fruit, since it should say that any animal that turns eight days old during that year, since it’s its finishing that the Maasar can be brought as a Korban. However, R’ Simai says that it’s like R’ Shimon who says that an animal that’s before the time it could be brought as a Korban (i.e., less than eight days old) can be brought into the pen to separate Maasar Beheima. R’ Mana asks: how can Ben Azai, who followed when it’s born, ignore the Rabanan’s opinion and do like R’ Shimon? Rather, despite that the Rabanan held that they can’t go into a pen to separate until they’re eight days old, they still agree that they can only combine, when they do go to the pen, with animals born the year before.
4) R’ Chiya says: from the fact we consider Maasar from the year it’s born, a Bechor that needs to be eaten before its year, you count a year from when it was born although you can’t bring it as a Korban yet. R’ Yona learns this from the fact that the Torah pronounces it Kodesh when it’s born, although it was already Kodesh as a fetus, to say that the year starts then.
5) Ben Azai says that the time for separating Maasar Beheima is the twenty ninth of Adar, the first of Nissan and the ninth of Av. R’ Elazar and R’ Shimon says: the first of Nissan and the first of Sivan and the twenty ninth of Elul, (since you can’t do it on the first of Tishrei since it’s a Yom Tov).
6) Trumas Halishkah consist of three boxes that hold three Saah of coins. R’ Yehoshua gleans from here that these are the size of the four or five boxes mentioned in Shabbos that we allow clearing out from a storehouse for guests or for a makeshift Beis Medrish. After all, since they didn’t qualify the amount there, we should extrapolate it from a place where they gave an amount.
7) When they scooped up the Shekalim to use for the Korbanos, they wrote "Aleph, Beis and Gimmel" on the three boxes so that you first will use the one first scooped. (R’ Yishmael says that it was written in Greek, Alpha Beita Gamma.)
8) We learned that the amount for carrying out wine on Shabbos is a quarter of a Revious of wine, which is the amount you need to dilute it by adding enough water to make it into a Revious, which is the amount needed for a Kos Shel Bracha since, when you dilute wine, it should be a quarter wine and three-quarters water for the four cups on Pesach. After all it takes a Revious of wine to dilute to make four cups of diluted wine. This is R’ Yehuda’s opinion, but the Chachumim say that the amount needed to carry out is the amount to take a gulp. (The Tanna Kama says that you're Chayiv for carrying out the amount of water for a gulp. R’ Yehuda says: the amount that you need to dissolve the eye medicine Kilaryon.)
9) The amount to carry out diluted wine is a Revious, or else you wouldn’t be Chayiv for carrying out undiluted wine with less than a Revious.
10) It’s permitted to drink the four cups one after the other. After all, if you read Hallel in Shul, you don’t need to read it during the Seder, and you end up drinking the third and fourth cup after each other.
11) You can break up the drinking of the cup on Pesach. After all, the rabbis don’t want you to get drunk, so, if you drink with breaks, you won’t get drunk.
12) You can be Yoitza the four cups by drinking Shvious wine, (Korban Haeida- which is legally not yours, and we don’t say that the wine needs to belong to you just like Matzah.) The same with Kundortin and diluted wine as long as it still has the taste and look of wine. However, the Mitzvah is with red wine, as the Pasuk says “don’t see wine since it’s red.”
13) R’ Yona permits cooked wine since it’s similar to having it spiced up. Therefore, since wine hurt him (that he needed to wrap his head from Pesach until Shvuos), he drank cooked wine so it shouldn’t hurt him as much.
14) A Revious is the amount found in a cup that’s two fingers squared, and is high one and five sixth fingers.
15) R' Nosson holds: you're Chayiv for carrying a Kazayis of congealed wine, since it could become reconstituted to a Revious. (Korban Haeida- since it’s congealed, it can never be diluted, so you need a full Revious. This is also the opinion of R’ Yossi b. Yehuda regarding the blood of a Neveila, which he holds it to be Tamai, that you need a Revious to make items Tamai, since it can congeal to become a Kazayis.
16) Regarding the blood of a Neveila, which R’ Yehoshua b. Levi holds it to be Tamai, you need it to be more than a Revious to make items Tamai, and so holds R’ Yehuda, but R’ Yehoshua b. Beseira held that it's never Tamai.
17) Blood doesn’t make food Mechshur but by Shechita, but not from blood that came from its limbs, and a Sheretz makes items Tamai by the size of a lentil. (Korban Haeida- even if it’s liquefied, since it’s Tamai from the Torah, but blood is only rabbinic, and thus you need it to be able to congeal to become a Kazayis (the Shiur that the meat of the Neveila is Tamai).
18) You can’t take the Trumah Halishka with long clothing that needs to be folded below, and not with shoes, sandals Tefilin or an amulet (that have compartments to place coins), since, if he gets poor, people will say that it’s a punishment for stealing from the Lishka, or if he gets rich, they’ll say it’s from stealing from the Lishka, and you need to make yourself appear above all suspicion from people.
19) They needed to fix the hair of the one making Trumah if they’re sticking to gather, and he can’t have long hair so people should say that he’s hiding coins there. You speak with him the whole time he’s there so people shouldn’t say he’s hiding coins in his mouth. (You can’t have him come in with water in his mouth to make sure that he didn’t open it to put in money, since he needs to make a Bracha over the Trumah, which he can’t do with a mouthful of water.)
20) R’ Gamliel’s house put their coins in the pile right before the Trumah to make sure that the Kohein scoops up their coins. Although, without that, they’re Yoitza since it’s no worse than if your coin is in a different pile of coins that were not taken from, that you’re Yoitza; but it gives them pleasure that the Korbanos were brought from the coins that they donated.
21) The one taking the Trumah shouldn’t do it until he’s told to do it. (He asks “shall I take Trumah” and they say thrice “separate.”)
22) After you Take the first Trumah, you cover the remaining coins with a leather cover (so that those coins don’t mix with other coins that come afterwards that would be designated for the second Trumah). They repeated after the second Trumah so that you shouldn’t take Trumah from coins that already had Trumah taken from it. However, it’s not necessary after the third Trumah since they remove all covers and everything is anyhow just leftovers of the Lishka. When they did the second Trumah, they started taking from it even though there’s still left from the first Trumah, and when they did the third Trumah, they took from there even though there’s left from the second one. If they finish the coins from the third one, they take from the second one, and if they finish from the second one, they take from the first one. However, the Rabanan hold, they can’t take from the leftovers of the Trumah since they’re not designated anymore for Korbanos. However, R’ Meir holds you could since they are designated, therefore, if you use the leftovers, you’re Chayiv in Meila. However, the Chachumim say that he’s not Chayiv for Meila, since they’re not designated but for fixing the walls and the city of Yerushalayim.)
23) They did the first Trumah for the people of Eretz Yisrael and all Jews. The second was done for all people close to Eretz Yisrael and all Jews. The third for the people of Bavel, Madai and all far lands and all Jews.
