(d) What was then his mistake?

(a) How many Talmidim did Hillel ha'Zaken have?

(b) If the first thirty were worthy for the Shechinah to rest on them like Moshe, then why didn't it?

(c) There were twenty in the middle.
What was the level of the other thirty?

(d) Who was ...

1. ... the greatest of them all (see Rabeinu Gershom)?
2. ... the smallest of them all?

(a) There doesn't seem to be much that Rebbi Yochanan ben Zakai did not know: He knew T'nach and Mishnah and Agados (Medrashim) in their entirety.
What does the Tana mean by ...

1. ... Gemara'?
2. ... 'Halachos'?
3. ... 'Dikdukei Torah'?
4. ... 'Dikdukei Sofrim'?

(b) He knew all the Kal va'Chomers, the Gezeiros Shavos and Gematri'os (incorporating the acronyms).
What does the 'Takeoffs refer to?

(a) What does our Mishnah say in connection with Reuven who says about Shimon ...

1. ... 'Zeh B'ni'?
2. ... 'Zeh Achi'?

(b) Does this mean that (in the latter case) Shimon receives nothing?

(c) The Mishnah says that if Shimon dies, the property then reverts to where it came from (i.e. to Reuven).
What does the Tana mean when he talks about property that 'fell to him from somewhere else'?

7)

(a) On what grounds do we refute Rav Yehudah Amar Shmuel, who explains 'Zeh B'ni, Ne'eman' to mean that he is an heir and will inherit part of the Yerushah?

(b) Why can we not answer that we need the Tana to teach us that he is believed even regarding property that he has not yet acquired?

(c) But did we not learn earlier that a father is believed even as regards property that he acquired afterwards or on his death-bed (from "Yakir")?

(a) Rav Yehudah Amar Shmuel also explains that 'Zeh B'ni' is believed 'li'Fetor es Imo mi'Yibum'.
Why is that too, not obvious, due to the Mishnah in Kidushin 'Mi she'Amar be'Sha'as Miysaso' Yesh Li Banim, Ne'eman'?

(b) What is the S'vara to differentiate between a case where we know that he has a brother (or a son) and one where we don't? Why would there be a reason to believe him in the latter case even if we did not believe him in the former?

(c) What would the Din be there if a man then claimed to be a brother of the deceased? Would the widow require Chalitzah?

(b) Bearing in mind the 'Migu', why is he not believed?

(a) How do we reconcile this ruling with Rebbi Chiya bar Avin, who quoted Rebbi Yochanan as saying 'Ne'eman' (like Rav Yehudah Amar Shmuel)?

(b) What do we mean by 'mi'Ka'an u'Lehaba'? What is the case?

(c) What are the ramifications of the She'eilah whether he is believed retroactively or not?

(d) What She'eilah do we ask about a case where the husband claims that he divorced his wife previously?
