***************GIRSA SECTION********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, Rav B. Rensburg and the parenthetical marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is devoted to any *OTHER* changes that we feel ought to be made in Gemara, Rashi or Tosfos.)

[1] Gemara 50a [line 21, 22, 24]:
she'Tzav'an b'Shemen ... Tzav'an b'Shemen
In our Gemaras these words are found in parentheses. However, this was
clearly Rashi's Girsa, and it is also the Girsa in Dikdukei Sofrim, the
Oxford manuscript and the earlier printings of the Shas. (The word
"b'Shemen" is also added, in these sources, in the continuation of the
Beraisa, "Af Al Pi she'Lo Tzava *b'Shemen*")

[2] Rashi 50b DH b'Gurdisa d'Kanei:
The words "v'Chayav Mishum *Mochek*"
should be "v'Chayav Mishum *Memachek*" (YA"AVETZ)

21) [line 49] DAVAR SHE'EIN MISKAVEN
(a) An act which is done for a certain purpose (which will be accomplished without transgressing a Melachah), but which may result in a Melachah being inadvertently performed, it is called a Davar she'Eino Miskavein. The example brought in our Gemara is rubbing silver utensils with natron or sand, which may possibly smooth out the surfaces of the utensils. (Memachek, or smoothing, is one of the Avos Melachos.) Rebbi Yehudah prohibits performing such an action, since it may result in a Melachah. Rebbi Shimon disagrees, claiming that even though a Melachah may result from this action, since the Melachah will come about without intent, the action is permitted.

(b) Rebbi Shimon and Rebbi Yehudah disagree only if it is not clear that the surfaces of the utensils will be smoothed out (i.e., that a Melachah will be done). If it is inevitable that the surfaces will be smoothed, such as when using Gartakon, the act is prohibited even according to Rebbi Shimon -- even though the person rubbing the utensils with Gartakon is not the least bit interested in smoothing the surfaces. Such a situation, in which a Melachah will inevitably be accomplished, is referred to as "Pesik Reisha v'Lo Yamus."

(c) A person must have specific *intent* to do a Melachah on Shabbos in order to be liable for punishment or to be required to bring a Korban. Therefore, if a person rubs the utensils with natron or sand and the surfaces were smoothed, even Rebbi Yehudah will agree that the person is not obligated to bring a Korban, since the smoothing was done accidentally. Rebbi Yehudah and Rebbi Shimon argue only as to whether it is permitted *in the first place* to perform an action that may result in a Melachah. (See Insights to 41:2)
