Learn the :גמרא דף נא from after the Mishnah until the two dots

Questions: 

  • If the Jews living in mitzrayim were in violation of the לא תעשה prohibiting one to live in Mitzrayim why does the gemara attribute their settlement as the paradigm example of the honor of klal yisrael? 
  • Why didn’t the gemara know in the question that they were in violation of the  לא תעשה not to return to Mitzrayim?
  • Why were the Jews living in Mitzrayim punished so harshly for living in Mitzrayim which is just a  לא תעשה – culpable at most with lashes and not death?

  • According to the first answer of Tosfos, why is the issue of responding an אמן יתומה just in regards to a bracha one is obligated to recite? See ח’ ר’ אריה לייב מאלין חלק א ס’ ה·  https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=51220&st=&pgnum=24
  • According to the second answer of Tosfos is it permitted to respond Amen to a bracha that one is obligated to recite when he did not hear the bracha but knows exactly which bracha had just been said?

Why does the Rambam not list the Chalil as one of the instruments?

Why does the Rambam not mention the blasting of the shofar as the water drawer exited the Beis hamikdash?
