- Lot's older daughter is rewarded for her eagerness to sleep with her father first: her descendants arrive in HaAretz four generations before those of her sister
- Lot's older daughter named her son Mo'av, from father; we are to afflict but not wage war on the Moabites
- Lot's younger daughter named her son Ben Ami, son of the nation; we do not even afflict Amon
- The rabbis continue to argue about the different sacrifices brought by common people in comparison to a leader: a nasi, a high priest, or a moshuach, an anointed high priest
- Much attention is given to the timing of one's becoming a nasi or high priest; if one transgressed - whether in eating or another transgression - in the middle of the process, what might be the proper offering to bring?
- Again the rabbis test the outer edge; the limits of a halacha
- The rabbis argue about intentionality and transgressions in eating naming the tzeduki and the mumar
A new Mishna clarifies some terms:
- Nasi: head of the Sanhedrin, leader, prince
- one for each tribe
- not submissive to each other
- Kohen Gadol/Ha Kohen haMoshiach: anointed priest, sometimes transgresses
- sacrifices on behalf of others who have transgressed
- Merubeh Bagadim: a high priest who has not been anointed
- wears the garments of the priest
- Reish Galuta: the administrative leader (in Bavel or Yerushalayim, et.c)
- Kohen Sheavar: the stand-in for a High Priest who is sick or ritually impure on Yom Kipur
- Shemen haMishcha: anointing oil used for Temple items and for the High Priest
- recipe of boiled roots
