Begin on 47b, at the two dots on the second middle size line. Learn until the third line from bottom, amar Rav Yochanan. See tosfos dh mitzvah. The gemara says that a katan can be mitztaref to a mezuman in certain cases. How can a katan that cannot talk (mutal bearisah) be part of a mezuman? Perhaps in the meiri on the previous gemara that we saw there is an answer to this question. The gemara says that one can free a slave and trangress an asay for a “mitzvah derabbim”. What is the mitzvah derabbim here in the gemara? See tosfos dh mitzvah and Rosh siman 20 beginning from tanu rabanan until a few lines later velays hilchasah that discusses this point. On tosfos dh mitzvah, see Mahrsha that asks a question on tosfos. See Tzlach dh tosfos dh mitzvah in the first paragraph that answers the question. On the gemara that one who is in the first ten of a minyan receives the same schar as all those who come later, why is this so? See Mahrsha dh leolam.
