Bekhorot 34: words to know
- יֵשׁ אֵם לַמִּקְרָא (yesh em lamikra): the vocalization of the Torah text is authoritative. The Gemara questions whether Rabbi Eliezer bases his derivations on the vocalization rather than the spelling.
- דָּבָר שֶׁאֵין מִתְכַּוֵּין (davar she'ein mitkavein): an unintentional act with an unintended forbidden consequence. The Gemara asks why Shmuel needed to state that letting blood is permitted, as he already permits unintentional acts.
- לְמַאי נָפְקָא מִינַּהּ (lemai nafka minah): what is the practical difference between them?. The Gemara asks what practical difference results from the two possible readings of Rabbi Eliezer's statement.
- תֵּיקוּ (teiku): let it stand; the dilemma remains unresolved. Marks the unresolved conclusion of Rav Pappa's textual question regarding the reading of the mishna.
- אִם תִּימְצֵי לוֹמַר (im timtzei lomar): if you wish to say; if you say. Introduces a potential precedent to see if the son inherits a rabbinic penalty.
