**שֶׁתְּהֵא נִפְרָכֶת.** נַעֲשֵׂית פֵּרוּכִים וּפְתִיתִים כְּשֶׁמְּמַשְׁמְשִׁים בָּהּ. וְאֵין הֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי יוֹסֵי. וְכָל הָנֵי מוּמִין דַּחֲשִׁיב בְּמַתְנִיתִין שֶׁשּׁוֹחֲטִין עֲלֵיהֶן אֶת הַבְּכוֹר יָלְפִינַן מִקְּרָאֵי, דִּכְתִיב (דברים טו) וְכִי יִהְיֶה בּוֹ מוּם, כְּלָל. פִּסֵּחַ אוֹ עִוֵּר, פְּרָט. כָּל מוּם רַע, חָזַר וְכָלַל. כְּלָל וּפְרָט וּכְלָל, אִי אַתָּה דָן אֶלָּא כְעֵין הַפְּרָט. מָה הַפְּרָט מְפֹרָשׁ מוּמִין שֶׁבְּגָלוּי וְאֵינוֹ חוֹזֵר, אַף כָּל מוּמִין שֶׁבְּגָלוּי וְאֵינוֹ חוֹזֵר:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
שתהא נפרכת – it becomes crumbles and broken pieces when they handle it. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yossi. But these blemishes that are considered in our Mishnah, when they slaughter upon them the firstling, we derive from Biblical verses, as it is written (Deuteronomy 15:21): “But if it has a defect,” is a generalization, “lameness or blindness” is a detail, “any serious defect” – it returned to provide a generalization, you do not judge other than what is similar to the detail. Just as the detail explains open blemishes that do not return [to their healthy state], so also, all open blemishes and they don’t return [to their healthy state] (and the Halakha is according to the first Tanna/teacher).

But if he did not examine it within the eighty [days], even though the cataracts/white spots on the cornea are found there on the eightieth day, it is not a blemish, lest in the meanwhile, it went away and then returned.

עד שיאכל יבש אחר הלח – this is the manner of his cure, straw and leeks that grow in Adar and half of Nisan, we feed it during Adar and half of Nisan, but straw and leeks that grew in Elul and half of Tishrei, we feed it in Elul and half of Tishrei. For we don’t slaughter it until all the days of the summer have passed and we examine it at both times, and if it was not cured, it is a blemish, and it (i.e., the animal) needs to eat from them no less than a dried fig during each and every meal all three months at the beginning of the meal and after it drank, and it would not be tied at the time that it eats these grasses for medicinal purposes, and there wouldn’t be an individual [animal] but with its fellows, in the field and not within the city. And if it fulfilled all of these conditions and was not cured, it is a blemish and we slaughter it.
