**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
שבעה משקין הן- because it is stated regarding ritual impurity of foods (Leviticus 11:34): “As to any food that may be eaten, it shall become impure if it came in contact with water,” I have [established] only water, from where [do I learn] to include wine and [olive] oil, and milk and honey and blood and dew? The inference teaches us (Leviticus 11:34): “as to any liquid that may be drunk/וכל משקה אשר ישתה",” and if "וכל משקה"/as to any liquid, I might think, mulberry juice, pomegranate juice and the rest of all the fruit juices, the inference teaches us, “[if it came in contact with] water;” just as water is particular that it lacks an epithet, even wine and [olive] oil and milk and honey and blood and dew, lack an epithet, excluding mulberry juice and pomegranate juice and the rest of fruit juices that have an epithet, but bees honey lacks an epithet, for it is called merely honey. And further, we learned in the Tosefta of [Tractate] Shabbat in chapter 9 (Halakhot 24-28): From where do we learn [in the Torah] that blood is a liquid? As it states (Numbers 23:24): “And drink the blood of the slain.” From where [in the Torah] do we learn that wine is a liquid? As it states (Deuteronomy 32:14): “And foaming grape-blood was your drink.” From where [in the Torah] do we learn that honey is a liquid? As it states (Deuteronomy 32:13): “He fed him honey from the crag.” From where [in the Bible] do we learn that [olive] oil is a liquid? As it states (Isaiah 25:6): “A banquet of rich viands/liquid oils.” From where [in the Bible] do we learn that milk is a liquid? As it states (Judges 4:19): “She opened a skin of milk and gave him some to drink.” From where [in the Bible] do we learn that dew is a liquid? As it states (Judges 6:38): “He squeezed the fleece and wrong out the dew from the fleece, a bowlful of water.” From where [in the Bible] do we learn that the tears of the eye are a liquid? As it states (Psalms 80:6): “Made them drink great measures of tears.” From where [in the Bible] do we learn that the water of the nose is a liquid? As it states (Jeremiah 9:17): “That our eyes may run with tears, our pupils flow with water.”

ומותר באכילה – that you should not say that since the hornet is the creeping insect of the fowl and it is impure, the honey that comes from it would also be impure, for you might think that I would say that specifically the honey of bees is included by Scripture to be permitted, for it lacks an epithet, but the honey of hornets which has an epithet would not be permitted, it comes to teach us that the honey of hornets is pure and permitted, because of what they said: the honey of bees is permitted because they bring them into their bodies and they don’t furnish it from their bodies, the honey of hornets also brings them into their bodies but does not furnish it from their bodies.

**סַלֵּי זֵיתִים וַעֲנָבִים יוֹכִיחוּ.** שֶׁהַסּוֹחֲטָן לִרְפוּאָה טָמֵא, וְאַף עַל פִּי כֵן לְרָצוֹן טְמֵאִים, שֶׁלֹּא לְרָצוֹן טְהוֹרִים. אַף הֶחָלָב, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהַחוֹלֵב לִרְפוּאָה טָמֵא, כְּשֶׁנֶּחְלַב שֶׁלֹּא לְרָצוֹן דִּין הוּא שֶׁיִּהְיֶה טָהוֹר: **וְשֶׁלֹּא לְרָצוֹן טְהוֹרִים.** שֶׁאֵין הַיּוֹצֵא מִן הַזֵּיתִים וַעֲנָבִים חָשׁוּב מַשְׁקֶה עַד שֶׁיֵּצֵא לְרָצוֹן:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
סלי זיתים וענבים יוכיחו – for one who presses/wrings them (i.e., olives and/or grapes) out for medical purposes it is impure, but nevertheless, with approval/intentionally are impure, but unintentionally, they are ritually pure. Even the milk, even though that one yields milk for medicinal purposes, it is impure, when it is milked unintentionally/without approval, it is law that it would be pure: and when it is not with approval/unintentional, that which comes out from the olives and grapes is not considered liquid until it comes out with approval/intentionally.
