**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
כל המשתמש ממנו פטור – even in the Land of Israel that is more recognized and one does not come to exchange them (i.e., the rice that is grown outside the Land of Israel) with the rice of the Land of Israel. But the rest of the things that are mentioned in our Mishnah (i.e., pressed figs, dates, carobs and cumin) there are those from them in the Land of Israel that are similar to those that are outside of the Land [of Israel], but those are that are important that it is custom to carry them because of their importance to places that don’t have a similar kind, required tithing, for it is known that they are from the Land of Israel.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
על עצמו אינו נאמן – for behold he consumes something that is not legally fit for use by giving the priestly dues when he is a guest with those who do not observed certain religious customs regarding tithes/עם הארץ. But Rabbi Yehuda holds that he doesn’t lose his trustworthiness through this. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
להיות חבר – in the matter of ritual purity, which is being separate and that his clothing and his drinks will be ritually pure. And even a Sage/תלמיד חכם (i.e., a “Fellow”) is not trustworthy with regard to ritual purity until he accepts upon himself the words of the members of the order for the observance of Levitical laws in daily intercourse, unless he is an Elder/זקן and sits in the academy/ישיבה, and a person who accepts upon himself the words of members of order for the observance of Levitical laws in daily intercourse needs to accustom himself for thirty days and afterwards his clothing and his drink will be ritually pure. And there is no acceptance of the words of the members of the order for the observance of Levitical laws in daily intercourse with less than three members, unless the member is a Sage/ תלמיד חכם that does not need to be before three members. And not only this but also that others accept before him.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ואינו לוקח ממנו לח – but he does acquire something dry from him that was not susceptible to receive ritual impurity all the while that something liquid does not come upon it. But the person who does not observed certain religious customs regarding tithes (i.e., עם הארץ ) is believed to state that it was susceptible [to receive ritual impurity] but was not defiled.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
אצלו בכסותו – that the clothing of a person who does not observe certain religious customs regarding tithes/עם הארץ, his ritual defilement is more severe than the ritual defilement of person who does not observe certain religious customs regarding tithes himself for we suspect that perhaps his wife sat on them while she was a menstruant woman and the clothing of a person who does not observe certain religious customs regarding tithes is Levitical uncleanness arising from someone with gonorrhea’s immediate contact by treading or leading against to the Pharisees. Alternatively, for this reason they said that he cannot host him (i.e., a person who does not observe certain religious customs regarding tithes) other than with his clothing for from the contact itself, he can be more careful from contact with his clothing.

And especially when one sells it to a person who observes certain religious customs regarding tithes, for the person who acquires it separates out the Second Tithe, but if he sells it to someone who does not observe certain religious customs regarding tithes, he is liable to separate out the Second Tithe before he sells it.
