Eldad and Meidad – how did the story unfold, what did they prophesize about, why weren’t they with the other people who were chosen?  The mishna explains that one needs a majority of 2 to rule against someone – how does this work out?  What are the requirements for being a judge?  A long list of phrases in the gemara are  explained: when the gemara says this… it is referring to the following rabbi or rabbis.  In order to have a court of 23 set up in a city, there needs to be a minimum number of people.  Some opinions are brought in the mishna and others are added by the gemara from other tannatic sources.  The reasons for these different opinions are explained.
