**אֵין דּוֹרְשִׁין בָּעֲרָיוֹת.** לִשְׁלֹשָׁה בְּנֵי אָדָם כְּאֶחָד אֵין דּוֹרְשִׁין לָהֶם סִתְרֵי עֲרָיוֹת, כְּגוֹן בִּתּוֹ מֵאֲנוּסָתוֹ דְּלֹא כְּתִיבָא בִּקְרָא בְּהֶדְיָא וְאַתְיָא מִדְּרָשָׁא. שֶׁמָּא בִּזְמַן שֶׁמְּדַבֵּר הָרַב עִם אֶחָד יִשְּׂאוּ וְיִתְּנוּ הַשְּׁנַיִם בֵּינֵיהֶם, וְלֹא יִתְּנוּ לִבָּם לִשְׁמֹעַ מִפִּי הָרַב כְּשֶׁדָּרַשׁ בּוֹ אִסּוּר, וְיָבֹאוּ לְהָקֵל בַּעֲרָיוֹת עַל יְדֵי שֶׁנַּפְשׁוֹ שֶׁל אָדָם מִתְאַוָּה לָהֶן וּמְחַמַּדְתָּן יוֹתֵר מִשְּׁאָר אִסּוּרִים שֶׁבַּתּוֹרָה:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
אין דורשין בעריות – to three people as one [i.e., together], we do not expound the secrets of the illicit sexual relationships, such his daughter from his outraged woman, which is not written in Scripture explicitly lest at the time when the Rabbi speaks with one, the other two will discuss it between them, and they will not give their hearts over to listen from the mouth of the Rabbi when he expounds upon this prohibition. But they will come to be lenient in illicit sexual relationships on account of the fact the soul of a person yearns for them and covets them more than the rest of the prohibitions of the Torah.

**וְלֹא בְמַעֲשֵׂה בְרֵאשִׁית.** בְּמַעֲשֵׂה שֵׁשֶׁת יְמֵי בְּרֵאשִׁית אֲפִלּוּ לִשְׁנֵי בְּנֵי אָדָם, וְכָל שֶׁכֵּן לִשְׁלֹשָׁה אוֹ יוֹתֵר, דְּאָמַר קְרָא (דברים ד) כִּי שְׁאַל נָא לְיָמִים רִאשׁוֹנִים, יָחִיד שׁוֹאֵל וְאֵין שְׁנַיִם שׁוֹאֲלִים:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ולא במעשה בבראשית – in the event of the six days of creation even for [between] two people, and all the more so, for three or more, as it states in the Biblical verse (Deuteronomy 4:32): “You have but to inquire about bygone ages that came before you, [ever since God created man on earth from one end of heaven to the other: has anything as grand as this ever happened, or has its like ever been known?]. An individual can ask, but not two individuals.

**וְלֹא בְּמַעֲשֵׂה מֶרְכָּבָה.** שֶׁרָאָה יְחֶזְקֵאל וְשֶׁרָאָה יְשַׁעְיָה. וְרַמְבַּ"ם פֵּרֵשׁ, מַעֲשֵׂה בְרֵאשִׁית, הַחָכְמָה הַטִּבְעִית. וּמַעֲשֵׂה מֶרְכָּבָה, מְצִיאוּת הָאֵל וּתְאָרָיו וְהַמַּלְאָכִים וְהַנֶּפֶשׁ וְהַשֵּׂכֶל, וּמַה שֶּׁיִּהְיֶה אַחַר הַמָּוֶת. וְאֵין נִרְאֶה לִי שֶׁיִּקָּרֵא כָּל זֶה מַעֲשֵׂה מֶרְכָּבָה, דְּאִם כֵּן חָכְמַת הַמֶּרְכָּבָה הֲוָה לֵיהּ לְמִתְנֵי, אֶלָּא מַעֲשֵׂה מֶרְכָּבָה הוּא שֶׁעַל יְדֵי הַזְכָּרַת שֵׁמוֹת שֶׁל קְדֻשָּׁה מִשְׁתַּמְּשִׁים בַּכֶּתֶר, וְצוֹפִין אֵיךְ מִשְׁמְרוֹת הַמַּלְאָכִים בְּמַעֲמָדָן וְאֵיךְ הֵיכָל לִפְנִים מֵהֵיכָל, כְּעֵין הַסּוֹכִין בְּרוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ולא במעשה מרכבה – that Ezekiel saw and that Isaiah saw. And Maimonides explained, that the event of Creation, the natural wisdom, and the episode of the Chariot, which is the reality of God and his attributes, and the angels and the soul and the intellect/intuition, and what will be after death. But it does not appear to me that all of this will be called the episode of the Chariot, for if so, the wisdom of the chariot he (i.e., the Tanna of our Mishnah) should have taught, but the event of the Chariot is that via the mention of the names of holiness, we make use of the crown, and we look out how the angelic watches while they at their prayer meetings, and how the hall containing the golden altar is inside from the hall containing the golden altar, such as those who foresee the Holy Spirit.

**בְּיָחִיד אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן הָיָה חָכָם וּמֵבִין מִדַּעְתּוֹ.** אֲפִלּוּ לְאָדָם אֶחָד אֵין דּוֹרְשִׁין בַּמֶּרְכָּבָה, אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן מַכִּיר בּוֹ הָרַב שֶׁהוּא חָכָם שֶׁאִם יִמְסֹר לוֹ רָאשֵׁי פְּרָקִים יִהְיֶה הוּא מֵבִין הַשְּׁאָר מִדַּעְתּוֹ:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ביחיד אלא א"כ היה חכם ומבין מדעתו – even for another person, we don’t explain the event of the Chariot, other than if the Rabbi knows him to be wise for if he would transmit to him “chapter-headings,” he would understand the rest from his own mind.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
וב"ה אומרים אין לה יום טבוח – it does not require the slaughtering and preparation of the pilgrim’s offering, as it is permitted to offer them on the Festival days. As the School of Hillel, according to its reasoning when they state that we bring peace-offerings and burnt offerings on the Festival days, and the Tanna/teacher comes to teach us that even where it is impossible to do it on the morrow, such as the case where Shavuot occurs on Friday, even in this, the School of Shammai states that the burnt-offerings of appearance [at the Temple] are not offered on the Festival day, and they postponed it it until after the Sabbath.

אין כהן גדול מתלבש – in his beautiful utensils/raiment, on the day of slaughter and preparation of the pilgrim’s offering of Atzeret/Shavuot that is after the Sabbath, in order that he should not adorn himself on that self-same day, that everyone would understand that this day is not a Festival.

שלא לקיים דברי האומרים עצרת אחר שבת – for the Sadducees would say that Atzeret/Shavuot always [occurs] after Shabbat, as it is written (Leviticus 23:15): “And from [the day on which you bring the sheaf of elevation offering] – the day after the sabbath, [you shall count off seven weeks. They must be complete],” and they say that “the day after the sabbath” in the beginning [of Passover] and if so, Atzeret/Shavuot will always fall on Sunday.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ולקדש מטבילין – the explanation is to consume peace-offerings, sin-offerings and guilt-offerings. There is a greater degree/level, that it is necessary to immerse one’s hands in forty Seah, and even though they are not other than mere hands, that did not come in contact with impurity that defiles the entire body according to the Torah.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ולחטאת – to come in contact with the water of the sin-offering, sanctified water with the ashes of the red heifer to sprinkle from them upon those who are defiled through contact with the dead. There is a greater level/degree that if one’s hands became defiled through one of the things that defile the hands but not the body, such as a [sacred] book, or impure foods and impure liquids, and all defilements that [come] from the words of the Scribes the body is also defiled and the entire body requires ritual immersion. And all of these levels/degrees one higher than the next are from the words of the Scribes. But the fact that these were taken here concerning the laws of the Hagigah/Festival offering is because at their conclusion the laws of the Festival, for the ignoramuses/Amei HaAretz are considered ritually pure on the Festivals, but not on the rest of the days of the year, at the conclusion of [the third chapter of Hagigah], “There is a greater stringency regarding hallowed things.”

כאילו לא טבל – for the [Second] Tithe, and all the more so for Terumah/priest’s due and for sacred food. But the immersion is for non-holy produce, for non-holy produce does not require religious intention.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
בגדי פרושים מדרס לאוכלי תרומה – here is missing one gradation/level and this must be aught: the clothing of Pharisees are deemed as infected with treading-contact-uncleanness for those who consume the Second Tithe. The clothes of those consume Second Tithe are deemed as infected with treading-contact-uncleanness to those who consume Terumah/priest’s due, which are the Kohanim who consume Terumah, and all of these are gradations/levels from the words of the Scribes who said that there is no guarding/protecting of their ritual purity of these are considered observance/guarding with those, since they are [in comparison with the others] as if they had not observed it, they made a decree with regard to their garments lest his menstruating wife sit upon them and they are infected with treading-contact-uncleanness from a menstruating woman.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
והיתה מטפחתו מדרס לחטאת – but not for that which is deemed holy for this Tanna/teacher holds that non-holy produce that was made through purification of the holy is considered as holy. And this is not the Halakha. For non-holy produce that was made on the purification of holy things are not holy for all things, as is brought at the end of the [Tractate of] Niddah (73a).
