**הַתְּרוּמָה וְהַבִּכּוּרִים חַיָּבִין עֲלֵיהֶן מִיתָה.** זָר הָאוֹכְלָן בְּמֵזִיד חַיָּב מִיתָה בִּידֵי שָׁמַיִם, דִּכְתִיב בַּתְּרוּמָה (ויקרא כב) וּמֵתוּ בוֹ כִּי יְחַלְּלֻהוּ, וּבִכּוּרִים אִקְּרוּ תְּרוּמָה, דְּאָמַר מַר וּתְרוּמַת יָדֶךָ, אֵלּוּ בִּכּוּרִים, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר בָּהֶן (דברים כו) וְלָקַח הַכֹּהֵן הַטֶּנֶא מִיָּדֶךָ:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
התרומה והבכורים חייבין עליהן מיתה – A foreigner (i.e., non-Kohen/priest) who willfully eats them (i.e., the heave offering and the first-fruit offerings) are liable to death at the hands of heaven, as it is written regarding the heave offering (Leviticus 22:9): “[They shall keep My charge, lest they incur guilt thereby] and die for it, having committed profanation: [I the LORD consecrate them].” And “First-Fruits” are called/referred to as Terumah, “the Terumah of your hands” are the First Fruits, as it says concerning them (Deuteronomy 26:4): “The priest shall take the basket from your hand [and set it down in front of the altar of the LORD your God].”

**וְחֹמֶשׁ.** הָאוֹכְלָן שׁוֹגֵג מְשַׁלֵּם קֶרֶן לַבְּעָלִים וְחֹמֶשׁ לְכָל כֹּהֵן שֶׁיִּרְצֶה:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
וחומש – He (i.e., the foreigner/non-Kohen) who eats of them inadvertently pays the principal amount to the owners and the additional fifth to any Kohen that he desires.

[Bartenura on Mishnah Bikkurim 2:1:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Bartenura%20on%20Mishnah%20Bikkurim/r/2:1:3)

**וַאֲסוּרִים לְזָרִים.** בְּחִנָּם הִיא שְׁנוּיָה, דְּכֵיוָן שֶׁחַיָּבִין עֲלֵיהֶם מִיתָה וְחֹמֶשׁ פְּשִׁיטָא שֶׁאֲסוּרִים לְזָרִים. וּלְרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן דְּאָמַר חֲצִי שִׁעוּר אָסוּר מִן הַתּוֹרָה, מָצִינַן לְמֵימַר דִּתְנַן אֲסוּרִים לְזָרִים לַחֲצִי שִׁעוּר, שֶׁהוּא אָסוּר מִן הַתּוֹרָה, וְאֵין בּוֹ לֹא מִיתָה וְלֹא חֹמֶשׁ:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ואסורים לזרים – it is taught [in the Mishnah] for no reason, for since they (i.e., the non-Kohen who partakes of these) are liable for the death penalty [if eaten willfully] and the payment of the additional fifth [in addition to the principal if eaten inadvertently], it is obvious that it is forbidden to foreigners (i.e., non-Kohanim). And for Rabbi Yochanan who stated that half the legal size is forbidden from the Torah, we have found [worthy] to say that is taught in the Mishnah “forbidden to non-Kohanim/foreigners” for half the legal size – that this is forbidden from the Torah, and there is no death [penalty] or [payment of] the additional fifth.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
והערב שמש – An impure person (i.e., in this case, a Kohen), who ritually immersed himself cannot partake of the Terumah until sunset, as it is written (Leviticus 22:7): ‘As soon as the sun sets, he shall be pure; and afterward he may eat of the sacred donations [for they are his food].” And same law applies to the First Fruits.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
משא"כ במעשר – which is permitted to foreigners (i.e., non-Kohanim). But it is forbidden to purchase with the monetary value of the Second Tithe/Ma’aser Sheni an impure animal or slaves and land, and it is made void with a majority of it where there is not an act that makes it permissible. But he who touches it does not require the ritual washing of the hands, and it does not require [waiting until] sunset for we have said: He may immerse and come up and eat the Second Tithe.

However, However, the [second] tithe and First Fruits are separate tithes, or First Fruits alone require confession, and the heave offering/consecrated food for the Kohen if he only has the heave offering, it does not require confession.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
**[May] not be eaten in Yerushalaim.** That is to say ["may not be eaten if they were mixed while they were in Yerushalayim":] if *maaser sheni* or *bikkurim* become mixed with *chullin* while they are in Yerushalaim, then the mixture is forbidden to be eaten by the laws of *chullin*, because they are something for which there are reasons to allow [*davar sheyesh lo matirin*, a category discussed also in Beitzah, 3b: a prohibited item that can be permitted without the process of nullification, and as such the nullification does not take place, not even if mixed in the ratio of a thousand to one] because it is possible to eat the whole mixture where it [already] is, [i.e. Yerushalaim]. But *maaser sheni* or *bikkurim* that become mixed with *chullin* outside of Yerushalaim are not forbidden irrespective of the relative quantities, because it takes effort to bring them up [to Yerushalaim], and as such are not defined as something for which there is reason to allow.

**And their growths are forbidden.** [In the case of]a mixture of *maaser [sheni]* or *bikkurim* that was planted and sprouted and grew, also the growths are forbidden to be eaten by the laws of *chullin* if they are planted and grown in Yerushalaim. And their mixture is forbidden, irrespective of the relative quantities, because it is possible to eat it there in its place.

**אִם אָמַר הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר שֶׁזֶּה חַיָּה אוֹ בְהֵמָה.** בֵּין שֶׁאָמַר הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר שֶׁזֶּה חַיָּה בֵּין שֶׁאָמַר הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר שֶׁזֶּה בְּהֵמָה, הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר, דִּסְפֵק אִסּוּרָא לְחֻמְרָא. וַאֲפִלּוּ אָמַר הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר שֶׁזֶּה חַיָּה וּבְהֵמָה אוֹ שֶׁזֶּה אֵינוֹ לֹא חַיָּה וְלֹא בְהֵמָה, הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר מִסָּפֵק:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
אם אמר הריני נזיר שזה חיה או בהמה – Whether he said I am a Nazirite if this is a deer, or whether he said I am a Nazirite if this is cattle, he is a Nazirite, because in the question of doubt as to whether one has violated a negative commandment, it is judged stringently. For even if he stated, Behold, I am a Nazirite if this is deer and cattle, or this neither deer nor cattle, this is a doubtful Nazirite [and judged stringently].
