Se’if 1א׳

טָעָה וְדִלֵּג תֵּבָה אוֹ יוֹתֵר, יָכוֹל לִתְלוֹתָהּ בֵּין הַשִּׁיטִין אֲבָל לֹא בָּרֶוַח שֶׁבֵּין דַּף לְדַף.

If he erred and skipped a word or more, he may suspend it between the lines, but not in the space between one column and the next.

Se’if 2ב׳

אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאוֹמֵר בִּתְחִלַּת הַסֵפֶר שֶׁכּוֹתְבוֹ לְשֵׁם קְדֻשַּׁת סֵפֶר תּוֹרָה, בְּכָל פַּעַם שֶׁכּוֹתֵב שֵׁם מֵהַשֵּׁמוֹת שֶׁאֵינָם נִמְחָקִים צָרִיךְ לוֹמַר שֶׁכּוֹתֵב לְשֵׁם קְדֻשַּׁת הַשֵּׁם. וְאִם לֹא עָשָׂה כֵן, פָּסוּל (כֵּן נִרְאֶה מֵרֹא"שׁ וְכֵן כָּתַב סְמַ"ג וסה"ת). הַגָּה: כָּתַב שֵׁם אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים לְשֵׁם קְדֻשָּׁה, אֵינוֹ פָּסוּל, דְּהָוֵי כְּמַקְדִּישׁ בַּעֲלֵי מוּמִין לַמִּזְבֵּחַ, דְּאֵינָן קְדוֹשִׁים (בֵּית יוֹסֵף בְּשֵׁם רשב"ץ).

Even though he says at the beginning of the scroll that he writes it for the sake of the holiness of a Torah scroll, every time he writes a Name of the Names that are not erased he must say that he writes it for the sake of the holiness of the Name. And if he did not do so, it is unfit (so it appears from the Rosh, and so wrote the Semag and Sefer haTerumah). Hagah [Rema]: If he wrote the name Elohim of "other gods" for the sake of holiness, it is not unfit; for it is like one who consecrates blemished animals for the altar, which are not holy (Beit Yosef in the name of the Rashbatz).

Se’if 3ג׳

כְּשֶׁכּוֹתֵב הַשֵּׁם, אֲפִלּוּ מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל שׁוֹאֵל בִּשְׁלוֹמוֹ, לֹא יְשִׁיבֶנּוּ. וְאִם הָיָה כּוֹתֵב שְׁנֵי שֵׁמוֹת זֶה אַחַר זֶה, מֻתָּר לְהַפְסִיק בֵּינֵיהֶם, וּכְשֶׁיַּחֲזֹר לִכְתֹּב שֵׁם שֵׁנִי צָרִיךְ לַחֲזֹר לוֹמַר שֶׁהוּא כּוֹתְבוֹ לְשֵׁם קְדֻשַּׁת הַשֵּׁם.

When he is writing the Name, even if a king of Israel greets him, he shall not answer him. And if he was writing two Names one after the other, he is permitted to break off between them; and when he comes back to write the second Name he must say again that he writes it for the sake of the holiness of the Name.
