**כָּל מַשְׁקֶה שֶׁתְּחִלָּתוֹ לְרָצוֹן.** דְּנִיחָא לֵיהּ בְּהָנָךְ מַשְׁקִין, בִּשְׁבִיל שֶׁתּוּדַח הַקְּעָרָה אוֹ לִשְׁאָר תַּשְׁמִישִׁין:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
כל מעשה שתחילתו לרצון (a liquid the contact with which is welcome at first) – that it is satisfactory (i.e., rainfall) for it with those liquids, in order that the dish be rinsed or for other usages.

**אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵין סוֹפוֹ לְרָצוֹן.** כְּשֶׁנָּפְלוּ עַל הַפֵּרוֹת לֹא נִיחָא לֵיהּ, אֲפִלּוּ הָכִי הָוֵי הֶכְשֵׁר. אִי נַמִּי, סוֹפוֹ לְרָצוֹן, כְּשֶׁנָּפְלוּ עַל הַפֵּרוֹת. אֲבָל בִּתְחִלַּת בִּיאָתָן הָיָה הַדָּבָר קָשֶׁה בְּעֵינָיו, הַכֹּל הָוֵי הֶכְשֵׁר:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
אע"פ שאין סופו לרצון (though finally it may be unwelcome/injurious) – when it fell on the fruit/produce, it was not satisfactory for it, even so it is that which makes it fit to become ritually unclean. Alternatively, it may finally be welcome, when they fell upon the fruit/produce. But at the beginning of their coming, the matter was difficult in his eyes, everything is fit to become ritually unclean.

**הֲרֵי זֶה בְכִי יֻתַּן.** כְּלוֹמַר, הָאֳכָלִין שֶׁנָּפְלוּ עֲלֵיהֶן מַשְׁקִין הַלָּלוּ, מֻכְשָׁרִין לְקַבֵּל טֻמְאָה מִכָּאן וָאֵילָךְ. שֶׁאֵין שׁוּם אֹכֶל מְקַבֵּל טֻמְאָה עַד שֶׁיָּבֹא עָלָיו מַיִם אוֹ אֶחָד מִשִּׁבְעָה מַשְׁקִין, שֶׁהֵם, מַיִם, יַיִן, שֶׁמֶן, חָלָב, דְּבַשׁ, דָּם, טַל. דִּכְתִיב (ויקרא יא) וְכִי יֻתַּן מַיִם עַל זֶרַע וְנָפַל מִנִּבְלָתָם עָלָיו טָמֵא הוּא, כְּתִיב יִתֵּן וְקָרִינַן יֻתַּן, מַה יִתֵּן דְּנִיחָא לֵיהּ, אַף יֻתַּן דְּנִיחָא לֵיהּ:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
הרי זו בכי יותן – that is to say, the foods that these liquids fell upon, are made fit to become ritually unclean from here and onwards. For no food is susceptible to receive ritual defilement until water or one of the seven liquids (see Tractate Makhshirin, Chapter 6, Mishnah 4) which are water, wine, [olive] oil, milk, honey, blood and dew, as it is written (Leviticus 11:38): “that if water is put on the seed and any part of a carcass falls upon it, it shall be impure for you; it is written as "יתן" but we read it as "יותן". Just as "יתן"/he will place is satisfactory for it, even something "יותן"/that is placed upon it is satisfactory for it.

**מְטַמְּאִין לְרָצוֹן וְשֶׁלֹּא לְרָצוֹן.** כֵּיוָן דִּטְמֵאִין הֵן, טֻמְאָתָן וְהֶכְשֵׁרָן בָּאִים כְּאֶחָד, וְאִם נָפְלוּ עַל הַפֵּרוֹת אֲפִלּוּ שֶׁלֹּא לְרָצוֹן, מְטַמְּאִין אוֹתָם, דְּלֹא בָעִינַן דְּנִיחָא לֵיהּ אֶלָּא כְשֶׁבָּא הַמַּשְׁקֶה קֹדֶם לַטֻּמְאָה, דִּכְתִיב וְכִי יֻתַּן מַיִם עַל זֶרַע, וַהֲדַר וְנָפַל מִנִּבְלָתָם עָלָיו. אֲבָל כְּשֶׁהַמַּשְׁקֶה וְהַטֻּמְאָה בָּאִין כְּאֶחָד כְּגוֹן שֶׁהַמַּשְׁקִין טְמֵאִין, לֹא בָעִינַן דְּנִיחָא לֵיהּ:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
מטמאין לרצון ושלא לרצון – since they are impure, their defilement and their fitness to become unclean come together as one, and if they (i.e., one of the seven liquids) fell on the fruit, even not being welcome, they defile them, for we don’t require that it is satisfactory for it but rather, that the liquid comes prior to the defilement, as it is written (Leviticus 11:38): “that if water is put on the seed,” and afterwards “and any part of a carcass falls upon it.” But when the liquid and the defiling agent come together as for example that the liquids are defiled, we don’t require that it is satisfactory for it.

ר' שמעון אומר אינן בכי יותן – for he intended to moisten his finger, but not to moisten the hand that the sesame was in. But the Rabbis hold, since that he considered/planned with his finger, he makes it fit for Levitical uncleanness even unintentionally, as is taught in the Mishnah at the beginning of our chapter (Mishnah 1): “Any liquid which in the beginning is acceptable, even though at the end it is not acceptable…is under the law of “if water is put [on the seed and any part of a carcass falls upon it, it shall be impure for you]” (Leviticus 11:38). But Rabbi Shimon holds, that it was not acceptable at the beginning other than the moistened liquid of the finger alone. But the remainder that was moistened by the hand was never acceptable. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon in our entire Mishnah.

הסריקין (the robbers. See also Tractate Gittin, Chapter 5, Mishnah 6) – (Judges 11:3): “Men of low character gathered about Jephthah [and went out raiding with him].” We translate into Aramaic: “reckless men.” The language of an אילן סרק /a tree which bears no fruit. Another explanation: סריקין/thieves, for such is the language of Ishmael who calls thieves סראקין/unsavory. And there are those who have the reading: סקרין , the language that there weren’t robbers in the Judea among those who were killed in the war [as described] in the chapter (the fifth chapter of Tractate Gittin, Chapter 5, Mishnah 6) הנזקין (see Tractate Gittin, folio 55b, meaning robbers and violent men.
