**אוֹר לְאַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר.** לַיִל שֶׁלְּמָחֳרָתוֹ יִהְיֶה אַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר. וְקוֹרֵא הַתַּנָּא לַלַּיְלָה אוֹר כְּדֶרֶךְ שֶׁקּוֹרִין לְעִוֵּר סַגִּי נְהוֹר, וְלִישָׁנָא מְעַלְיָא נָקַט:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
אור לארבעה עשר – the night of its morrow will be the fourteenth [of Nisan], and the Tanna [of our Mishnah] calls night, “light” in the manner that we call a blind person “capable of eye-sight,” and he took/used the more appropriate expression.

**בּוֹדְקִין אֶת הֶחָמֵץ.** אִית דִּמְפָרְשֵׁי טַעֲמָא דִבְדִיקָה כְּדֵי שֶׁלֹּא יַעֲבֹר עַל בַּל יֵרָאֶה וּבַל יִמָּצֵא אִם יִהְיֶה חָמֵץ בְּבֵיתוֹ בְּפֶסַח. וְאַף עַל גַּב דִּבְבִטּוּל בְּעָלְמָא סַגִּי, חָיְשִׁינַן שֶׁמָּא יִמְצָא גְּלוּסְקָא יְפֵהפִיָּה וְיִמָּלֵךְ עַל בִּטּוּלוֹ וְיַחְשֹׁב עָלֶיהָ לְאָכְלָהּ, וְיַעֲבֹר עָלָיו עַל בַּל יֵרָאֶה וּבַל יִמָּצֵא, הִלְכָּךְ בּוֹדְקִים אֶת הֶחָמֵץ כְּדֵי לְבַעֲרוֹ מִן הָעוֹלָם. וְאִית דְּאָמְרֵי טַעֲמָא דִבְדִיקָה גְּזֵרָה שֶׁמָּא יִמְצָא חָמֵץ בְּבֵיתוֹ בְּפֶסַח וְיֹאכְלֶנּוּ, כֵּיוָן שֶׁאֵין רָגִיל לִהְיוֹת בָּדֵל מִמֶּנּוּ כָּל שְׁאָר יְמוֹת הַשָּׁנָה:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
בודקין את החמץ – there are those who explain the reason of searching [for the Hametz/leavened products] in order that he not transgress “lest any [leaven] be found” (see Exodus 13:7: “[Throughout the seven days unleavened bread shall be eaten; no leavened bread shall be found with you,] and no leaven shall be [seen, literally] found/ולא יראה לך [in all your territory,) and “lest it (i.e., leaven) be seen” (see Exodus 12:19 – “שבעת ימים שאר לא ימצא בבתיכם” /”No leaven shall be found in your houses for seven days…”) if there would be leavened products in his home during Passover. And even though mere nullification is sufficient, we are suspicious lest he find a white and delicate bread (i.e., a roll) and he will reconsider his nullification and think about it to eat it and violate [the Biblical injunction of] “lest it be seen with you, lest it be found with you” (see Exodus 13:7 and Exodus 12:19 above). Therefore, we search for the leavened products in order that he may remove it from the world. And there are those who say that the reason for searching [for Hametz] is a decree lest he find leavened products in his house during Passover and would eat them, since he is not accustomed to abstain from them all the rest of the days of the year.

**לְאוֹר הַנֵּר.** בַּגְּמָרָא יָלֵיף דִּבְדִיקַת חָמֵץ צְרִיכָה שֶׁתְּהֵא לְאוֹר הַנֵּר, מִדִּכְתִיב הָכָא (שמות יב) שְׂאֹר לֹא יִמָּצֵא, וּכְתִיב הָתָם (בראשית מ) וַיִּמָּצֵא הַגָּבִיעַ, מַה מְּצִיאָה הָאֲמוּרָה שָׁם עַל יְדֵי חִפּוּשׂ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר וַיחַפֵּשׂ וְכוּ'‏ וַיִמָּצֵא, אַף מְצִיאָה הָאֲמוּרָה כָאן עַל יְדֵי חִפּוּשׂ, וְחִפּוּשׂ הָוֵי בְנֵר דִּכְתִיב (משלי כ) נֵר ה'‏ נִשְׁמַת אָדָם חֹפֵשׂ כָּל חַדְרֵי בָטֶן. וְתִקְּנוּ הַבְּדִיקָה בַלַּיְלָה מִפְּנֵי שֶׁבַּלַּיְלָה כָּל הָעָם מְצוּיִים בְּבָתֵּיהֶם, וְאוֹר הַנֵּר יָפֶה לִבְדִיקָה בַלַּיְלָה יוֹתֵר מִבַּיּוֹם, דִּשְׁרָגָא בְטִהֲרָא לְמַאי מְהַנְּיָא. וּמִיהוּ אִם לֹא בָדַק לֵיל אַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר וּבוֹדֵק בְּאַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר שַׁחֲרִית צָרִיךְ שֶׁיִּבְדֹּק נַמִּי לְאוֹר הַנֵּר:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
לאור הנר – In the Gemara ( Talmud Pesahim 2a), it derives that the search for Hametz must be by the light of a candle, since it is written here (Exodus 12:12: "שאר לא ימצא" / “no leaven shall be found” and it is written there (Genesis 44:12): “וימצא הגביע [באמתחת בנימן] / “and the goblet turned up in Benjamin’s bag,” Just as “something found” which is said there, is through searching, as it says, ‘And [the goblet] turned up,” so too, “something found” which is mentioned here, is through searching, and searching is done by a candle, as it is written (Proverbs 20:17)– "נר ה' נשמת אדם"/”The life-breath of man is the lamp (literally, “candle”) of God [revealing the innermost parts].” And they established, that the search is at night, since at night all the people are found in their homes, and the light of a candle is nicer for a search than during the day, for a lamp at noon – what good is it? But however, if he did not search [for Hametz] on the night of the fourteenth [of Nisan] and he searched on the fourteenth in the morning, he has to search also by the light of a candle.

**שְׁתֵּי שׁוּרוֹת.** שֶׁל חָבִיּוֹת הַסְּדוּרוֹת זוֹ עַל גַּבֵּי זוֹ בְּמַרְתֵּף שֶׁל יַיִן צָרִיךְ לִבְדֹּק בֵּינֵיהֶן, אַחַר שֶׁאָמַרְנוּ כָּל מָקוֹם שֶׁאֵין מַכְנִיסִין בּוֹ חָמֵץ אֵין צָרִיךְ לִבְדֹּק, לָמָה הִצְרִיכוּ לְבָדְקָן. וּמְשָׁנֵי, לֹא אָמְרוּ אֶלָּא בְמַרְתֵּף שֶׁמַּכְנִיסִין בּוֹ חָמֵץ, כְּמוֹ מַרְתֵּף שֶׁמִּסְתַּפֵּק מִמֶּנּוּ יַיִן לְשֻׁלְחָנוֹ, וּפְעָמִים שֶׁהַשַּׁמָּשׁ עוֹמֵד לִמְזֹג וּפִתּוֹ בְיָדוֹ, וּכְשֶׁהַיַּיִן כָּלֶה נִכְנָס בַּמַּרְתֵּף לְהָבִיא יַיִן:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
שתי שורות – of wine jugs that are arranged this one on top of that in the wine store-room/cellar one must search between them, for after we said [in the Mishnah], “every place where we don’t bring in Hametz, there is no need for a search,” why did they require of us to search there? And we respond: They did not say [that we do not have to search] other than in a store-room/cellar where we bring in leavened products/Hametz, like a store-room/cellar from which he supplies wine for his table and the sometimes when the servant stands to pour it and his bread is in his hand , and when the wine is finished, he enters into the store-room/cellar to bring wine.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
שתי שורות על פני [כל] המרתף – It is way of those who store wine to arrange the wine jugs row by row until they fill all the floor of the store-room/cellar and you go pack and place wine jug on top of wine jug, so that lower rows will be like the upper rows up until the ceiling beam. And the two rows that the School of Shammai mentioned is the outermost row from the ground until the top of the beam, and goes back and searches [for Hametz] the uppermost wine jugs over the length and width of the store-room/cellar, and as a result, the two rows are like the Greek GAM/gamma, one row is standing up and the other row is lying down.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
שתי שורות החיצונות – The highest row nearest the ceiling beam which looks out at the face of the opening which is lower than it. And those [jugs] which are inside [of this] do not require searching at all, and from the outermost [jugs] he does not search but only the two uppermost ones alone.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
אין חוששין – when he searched his home in this corner and came to check the other corner, we should not suspect lest in the midst of my coming to this [corner], a mole dragged [hametz] from the checked place and I have to go back and re-check it, for if you come to fear for this, then behold, you also [have to check] from this courtyard to [the other] courtyard, one can say that I checked prior to my fellow and after my searching the mole brought Hametz from my fellow’s courtyard to my courtyard, and there is no end [to this].

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
בודקים אור ארבעה עשר ובארבעה עשר שחרית – This is how it should be understood: In one of these three periods alone, we search [for Hametz], but after these three periods, if he did not [conduct a] search, he does not have to do go back and [conduct a] search.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
לאחר המועד – until it gets dark. And there are those who explain [the phrase] "בתוך המועד"/the appointed time [as] in the midst of Passover; and [the phrase] "לאחר המועד"/after the appointed time [as] after Passover [entirely], in order that he would not mix/combine for himself Hametz/leavened products that over which Passover had passed (i.e., which had been in the house during Passover) [from which] it is prohibited to derive benefit with permitted Hametz which was made after Passover. And Rabbi Yehuda holds after the removal [of the Hametz], that is after the time of prohibition of Hametz, he should not do a search at all perhaps he will come to eat from it. And the Rabbis say that he should do a search after the time of its prohibition, and we should not be concerned that perhaps he would come to eat from it since his whole essence is moving back and forth to burn it. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ושורפין בתחלת שש – And even though that the entire sixth hour, according to the Torah is permissible [to burn the Hametz], the Rabbis decreed on it, lest they err and think about the seventh [hour] that it is the sixth [hour]. But [regarding] the fifth hour, they would not err to say [about] the seventh hour that is the fifth [hour], and it is permitted.

But however, he doesn’t have to burn it, and can feed it to his cattle. But [during] the sixth [hour], even deriving benefit is prohibit from the Rabbis, as a decree because of the seventh hour. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehuda.

של תודה פסולות – which were invalidated for use by being kept overnight, since because there loaves of thanksgiving [offerings] on the thirteenth of Nisan, for everyone who had a thanksgiving offering to bring brought it on the thirteenth, they were invalidated for use by being kept overnight for the morning of the fourteenth. The thanksgiving loaves were forty Hallot, ten of them were leavened. And the thanksgiving offering were eaten day and night, and if they would bring them on the fourteenth, the ones of Hametz would not be eaten other than until the sixth hour, for it is forbidden to bring a sacrifice on the day when the time for their being eaten would be reduced, for one does not wittingly cause bring holy things (i.e., sacred meat) to a place where the unfit things are burnt (see Mishnah Zevahim, Chapter 8, Mishnah 3). Therefore, whomever had to bring a thanksgiving sacrifice would bring it on the thirteenth, but would not be able to bring it on the fourteenth and all the more so during Passover, for they would be invalidated for use by being kept overnight on the fourteenth day since for they would not be eaten so much, and because of this, invalidated ones were given there, for since they were not fit, no one would give them to invalidate them by their hands.

מלשרוף את הבשר שנטמא בולד הטומאה – the offspring of an offspring is stated, that is to say, the meat which is third [level of impurity] which was defiled with something of second-level impurity, which is the offspring of an offspring, they did not prevent from burning it with the meat that was defiled by something of a direct cause of Levitical uncleanness, which is first level of impurity. And when this meat that was at first third-level of impurity comes in contact with this meat that was defiled by something of a direct cause of Levitical uncleanness, it goes back to become second-degree [of impurity/uncleanness], for it came in contact with first-degree and became second [degree] and it is found that they added to it a degree of impurity upon its [initial] impurity , for that which was initially third-degree and is now second-degree. And even though they could not prevent from burning it with something that is is more severe than it, for since, even this which is the lesser for burning stands, they did not suspect if they would make it more impure than it already was. And even though that one does not consume something that defiles food from the Torah, as it states regarding the defiling of food (Deuteronomy 14:8,14): “it is impure [for you].” It is impure, but it does defile [other foods] that are like it. Nevertheless, the Rabbis decreed that it would be food that does defile other food.

בנר שנטמא בטמא מת – this metallic candle, and all utensils outside of an earthenware vessel which came in contact with the defilement of the dead become like it, if it is a principal level of impurity, it is a principal level of impurity, if first-level of defilement, it is a first-level of defilement, as it is written (Numbers 19:16): “[And in the open, anyone who touches a person] who was killed [or who died naturally, or human bone, or a grave, shall be impure seven days].” And they (i.e., the Rabbis) expound upon “who was killed” he is like someone who was slain, for the sword that came in contact with the dead became one of the original causes of Levitical uncleanness like the dead person himself, and when it (i.e., the sword) came In contact with the person defiled by the dead who is a principal cause of Levitical uncleanness, the sword also became a principal form of Levitical uncleanness and the same law applies to all utensils except for an earthenware vessel. It is found, therefore, that the metallic candle that came in contact with someone defiled by contact with the dead became one of the principal forms of Levitical uncleanness, and now Rabbi Akiva added to the words of Rabbi Hananiah the Assistant Priest, for Rabbi Hananiah did not permit other than to restore something that had been third-level uncleanness to something second-level uncleanness. But Rabbi Akiva permitted to restore something third-level of uncleanness to first-level, for the oil that had been defiled by contact with a person who has ritually bathed but must wait for sunset to be perfectly clean, who is third-degree level of impurity, when he kindles it (i.e., the oil) with the candle that had been defiled through contact with the dead, the candle itself becomes a primary form of Levitical uncleanness as we have stated. It is found that the third-level of Levitical impurity becomes first, and even though they did not prevent it, for since there is the title of impurity upon it, we do not suspect him and it is permissible to add with ones hands.

אמר לו רבי יוסי אינה הוא המדה – Rabbi Yosi according to his reasoning holds that the impurity of liquids can defile other things according to the Torah, and meat that was defiled by liquids is impure according to the Torah. Therefore, he said that it is not the correct conclusion to draw, which means to say that one cannot learn this from their conclusions; for if you had permitted to burn something impure that had been defiled with a lighter form of impurity with something impure that had been defiled by a graver form of impurity, you would permit to burn the pure with the impure. But the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yosi , that we don’t burn pure priest’s due with that which is impure on Passover, and that impure liquids defile other things is not from the Torah but rather, according to the Rabbis, like Rabbi Meir.
