**הַתְּכֵלֶת אֵינָהּ מְעַכֶּבֶת אֶת הַלָּבָן.** אַף עַל גַּב דְּמִצְוָה לָתֵת שְׁנֵי חוּטִין שֶׁל תְּכֵלֶת וּשְׁנֵי חוּטִין שֶׁל לָבָן, אוֹ חוּט אֶחָד שֶׁל תְּכֵלֶת וּשְׁלֹשָׁה חוּטִים שֶׁל לָבָן, אֲפִלּוּ הָכִי אֵין זֶה מְעַכֵּב אֶת זֶה, וְאִם נָתַן אַרְבַּעְתָּן [שֶׁל תְּכֵלֶת אוֹ אַרְבַּעְתָּן] שֶׁל לָבָן, יָצָא:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
התכלת אינה מעכבת את הלבן – although it is a Mitzvah to place two threads of Tekhelet/blue and two threads of white or one thread of Tekhelet and three threads of white, nevertheless, this does not impair/invalidate by omission the other, and if he placed all four of them with Tekhelet or all four of them with white [threads], he has fulfilled his religious obligation.

**תְּפִלָּה שֶׁל יָד אֵינָהּ מְעַכֶּבֶת שֶׁל רֹאשׁ.** רַמְבַּ"ם כָּתַב, דַּוְקָא שֶׁשְּׁתֵּיהֶן מְצוּיִין אֶצְלוֹ, אֲבָל אִם אֵין מְצוּיָה אֶצְלוֹ אֶלָּא אַחַת מֵהֶן, לֹא יָנִיחַ הָאַחַת עַד שֶׁיִּמְצָא הָאַחֶרֶת, גָּזְרִינַן שֶׁמָּא יִטְעֶה וְיִסְמֹךְ עַל אַחַת תָּמִיד. וְזֶה דְּלֹא כְּהִלְכָתָא, דְּמַאן דְּאָמַר הָכִי בַּגְּמָרָא [מְנָחוֹת מד.] הָדַר בֵּיהּ מִכֹּחַ מַה שֶּׁהִקְשׁוּ לוֹ וְאֶלָּא מַאן דְּלֵית לֵיהּ תַּרְתֵּי מִצְוֹת חֲדָא מִצְוָה נַמִּי לֹא לַעֲבֵיד, בִּתְמִיָּה. וַהֲלָכָה, בֵּין שֶׁשְּׁנֵיהֶן מְצוּיִין אֶצְלוֹ בֵּין שֶׁאֵין מְצוּיִין אֶצְלוֹ, אֵינָן מְעַכְּבוֹת זוֹ אֶת זוֹ, וְכֵן הוֹרוּ כָּל רַבּוֹתַי הֲלָכָה לְמַעֲשֶׂה:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
תפלה של יד אינה מעכבת של ראש – Maimonides wrote, specifically that both (i.e., the Tefillin of the hand and the Tefillin of the head) are found with him. But only one of them is found with him, he should not put on the one until he has found the other since we make a decree lest he error and rely always on the one [only]. But this is not according to the Halakha, for the one who says this in the Gemara (Tractate Menahot 44a) retracted based upon the strength of what he was questioned but rather one who does not have [in order to fulfill] the two commandments, he should not even observe the one commandment, is to be read as a question [in astonishment]! But the Halakha is that whether both (i.e., the Tefillin of the arm and Tefillin of the head are found with him or whether they are not found with him, they do not impair/invalidate by omission the other, and so have admitted all of my teachers/Rabbis that this is the Halakhic practice.

הפרים והאילים והכבשים – those that are written in the Torah portion of “Speak to the Priests” (Leviticus 23:18): “With the bread you shall present, as burnt offerings to the LORD, seven yearling lambs without blemish, one bull of the herd, and two rams” that come with the two loaves of Atzeret/Shavuot. אינם מעכבים (do not impair the validity of one another) – the two bulls and the one ram and the seven lambs of the Musaf/Additional offerings of Atzeret/Shavuot that are written in the Torah portion of Pinhas (Numbers 28:27). For [two] bulls of the Musaf/Additional offerings do not impair the bull of the two loaves, neither does the bull of the two loaves impair the two bulls of the Musaf/Additional offerings. And similarly the two rams of the two loaves do not impair the one ram of the Musaf/Additional offerings, nor the one ram of the Musaf/Additional offerings impairs the two rams of the two loaves. And similarly, the lambs do not impair neither these nor those.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
רבן שמעון אומר אם היו להם פרים מרובין – that is to say, money in order to purchase bulls by the way for their needs, and they did not have money to purchase libations, they should bring one bull and its libations. And they derive it from Scripture, as it is written (Ezekiel 46:7): “And he shall provide a meal offering of an ephah for the bull, an ephah for the ram, and as much as he can afford for the lambs [with a hin of oil to every ephah],” can it really be that the measure of bulls and rams is one, but isn’t the meal-offering of the bulls is three Issaron and the meal offering of the rams two issaron, but rather to inform you hat it is better to bring one bull, one ram with his ephah, the measure that is appropriate for him, than to bring many bulls and many rams without their meal-offerings. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
אמר רבי שמעון אימתי כו' – In the Gemara (Tractate Menahot 50a) it explains that the Mishnah is deficient and it should be read as follows: if they did not offer up a lamb in the morning, he should not offer it up at eventide. When is this said? When the altar was not dedicated, but if the altar was dedicated, he can offer it up at eventide. Rabbi Shimon stated: Under what circumstances? When they subject to constraint or in error, but if they deliberately did not offer a lamb in the morning, they should not offer it at eventide. And this is its explanation: if they did not offer the daily whole offering of the morning, they should not offer the daily whole offering of the eventide, and this is a rabbinic expounding of Scripture, if (Numbers 28:4): “you shall offer one lamb in the morning, [and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight],” the second was pronounced fit to be offered at eventide, but if not, you don’t. Under what circumstances? When the altar was not dedicated, for this Biblical verse is written concerning the dedication of the altar in the Torah portion of “You (i.e., Moses) shall command”/Tetzaveh, as it is written above it (Exodus 29:38): “Now this is what you shall offer upon the altar: [two yearling lambs each day, regularly],” But if the altar was dedicated, that he had already offered upon it sacrifices, even if he did not offer the daily whole offering of the morning, he may offer the daily whole offering of the eventide, as it is written in the Torah portion of Pinhas (Numbers 28:8): “The other lamb you shall offer at twilight, preparing the same grain offering and libation as in the morning,” but in this Biblical verse, it is not written (see Numbers 28:4): “you shall offer one lamb in the morning,” and it is taught in [Midrash] Sifrei [B’midbar]: this verse, why is it mentioned? Wasn’t it already mentioned above in the portion (verse 4): “and the other lamb you shall offer it [at twilight]?” Because it states with it, “you shall offer one lamb in the morning,” behold that he did not offer up the one for the morning, I hear that he did not offer it up at twilight, the inference teaches us the latter verse (Numbers 28:8): “The other lamb you shall offer at twilight,” but if they deliberately [did not offer the lamb in the morning], he should not offer it at twilight, those who act deliberately, but other Kohanim are able to offer it.

לא הקטירו קטורת בבוקר יקטירו בין הערבים – that the incense is not found/on hand with one person, he should offer up the incense many times like that of a burnt offering, as we stated in [Tractate] Yoma [26a], that a person who did not ever engage with it repeatedly because it makes a person wealthy, as it is written (Deuteronomy 33:10): “They shall offer You incense to savor [and whole-offerings on Your altar],” and near it (verse 11), “Bless, O LORD, his substance,” therefore, we don’t fine them, since it is beloved for them and they do not willfully sin regarding it, and it is not found that those who sin deliberately will leave

שאין מחנכים את מזבח הזהב אלא בקטורת הסמים – at twilight/eventide, as it is written (Exodus 30:7): “he shall burn it every morning when he tends the lamps,” meaning to say, that when he cleans the Menorah from the ashes that are there from the kindling of the candles. But if he did not do the candle lighting in the evening, why does he need to repair it in the morning, so we see that the dedication of the Menorah is at twilight. And since the Menorah was dedicated in the evening, the incense is also dedicated in the evening, as it is written (Exodus 30:8): “And Aaron shall burn it at twilight when he lights the lamps, [- a regular incense offering before the LORD throughout the ages].”

ושלימה היתה קריבה – whenever it comes from the community according to Rabbi Shimon or from the heirs [of the Kohen Gadol who died] according to Rabbi Yehuda, it should be offered whole, a complete Issaron and not one-half of an Issaron. Rabbi Shimon derives it from (Leviticus 6:15): “to be turned entirely into smoke/כליל תקטר,” that should not be turned into smoke in halves, but rather entirely when it comes from the community. But Rabbi Yehuda derives it from what is written (Leviticus 6:15): “from among his sons to [to succeed him] prepare it/מבניו יעשה אותה,” when one of his sons offers it up after his father died, that is the heirs, he should do it, but not half of it. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehuda that it comes from the heirs.
