**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
רבי אליעזר אומר פרה מעוברת כשרה – Rabbi Eliezer and the Rabbis of here established according to the approach of Rabbi Yehuda who mentions further on in our chapter (Mishnah 4) that if a bull brought it up upon the cow, it is not invalid unless it went up with the knowledge of the owner of the heifer, but they dispute here regarding a pregnant cow that a male went up on her on his own without the knowledge of the owners, for Rabbi Eliezer who declares it fit holds that fetus is the thigh/haunch of its mother and it is like the body of he cow, but the Rabbis who invalidate I hold that the fetus is not the thigh/haunch of it smother and it is disqualified from the work, that she carries the fetus. And the Halakha is that is invalid from the time when a male came up upon her, even without the knowledge of the owners, and even if she is not pregnant, and not according to Rabbi Yehuda.

ולא זו בלבד – not only regarding the Red Heifer that Rabbi Eliezer and the Rabbis disputed, but regarding all of the community sacrifices and those of an individual, Rabbi Eliezer invalidates [them] if they were purchased from the heathens, for he is concerned for copulation/carnal connection with beasts, but the Sages declare them fit. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Eliezer.

מתן טליתו עליה פסולה – it states in [the portion of the] of the [Red] Heifer (Numbers 19:2): “and on which no yoke has been laid”/אשר לא-עלה עליה על", and it states regarding the heifer whose neck is broken (Deuteronomy 21:3): “a heifer which has never been worked, which has never pulled in a yoke”/"עגלת בקר אשר לא-עבד בה אשר לא-משכה בעל". Just as the yoke that is stated with the heifer (in Deuteronomy 21:3 and following) it did all of the rest of invalid work while yoked, even the yoke that is mentioned with the [Red] Heifer, it is the rest of the invalid work while yoked.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
עלה עליה זכר פסולה – even though it is not what it prefers, because its costs are expensive and [the owner) loses a lot, and regarding the work it is not what he prefers it does not invalidate it, as it written regarding the heifer whose neck is broken (Deuteronomy 21;3); “a heifer which has never been worked, it is written as עבד – but it is read as עובד. Just as עבד is preferable to him, even עובד is preferable to him, and we derive the sin-offering of the heifer from it. Nevertheless, since that with the rest of the cows it was preferable to him (i.e., the owner), we consider that regarding the sin-offering of the heifer is also preferable to him (i.e., the owner). And further, if you came to validate it, if so, it is also preferable to him (i.e., the owner), and because of this it is invalidated.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
העלהו פסולה – Not exactly “brought it up” [upon the cow], but rather, if it went up upon her (i.e. the cow) with the knowledge of the owners, even if it went up on its own, it is invalid. But if it went up [on the cow] without the knowledge of the owners, it is fit/appropriate. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
רבי יהודה אומר בתוך כוס אחד – we have this reading. But we don’t have the reading: "ואפילו"/and even, and in place that the first Tanna would teach "גומא"/follicle, Rabbi Yehuda would teach a "כוס" /follicle (i.e., cavity). [The words]"גומא" and "כוס" are one [and the same], and it is obligatory for a person to state them in the language of his Rabbi/teacher (see Tractate Eduyot, Chapter 1, Mishnah 3 for an enunciation of this rule), that the Rabbi/teacher of Rabbi Yehuda would call a "גומא" a "כוס" , this is proven in the Tosefta (see Tractate Parah, Chapter 2, Halakha 7).

אחר העיקר – but if their roots grow red and their heads grow black, and there are in the roots that grows red in order that it can be removed with scissors , he should cut their heads that grow black and it is fit/appropriate/kosher. But if there aren’t in the root that grows red a measurement that they would be able to be removed with scissors, it is invalid even according to the words of the Sages. For the measurement of two hairs that is stated in every place, is in order that they could be removed with scissors. And this is the Halakha.
