**אַרְבַּע מִיתוֹת.** סְקִילָה שְׂרֵפָה הֶרֶג וָחֶנֶק. סְקִילָה חֲמוּרָה מִשְּׂרֵפָה, וּשְׁתֵּיהֶן מֵהֶרֶג וּשְׁלָשְׁתָּן מֵחֶנֶק. וְנָפְקָא מִנַּהּ לְמִי שֶׁנִּתְחַיֵּב שְׁתֵּי מִיתוֹת, דְּקַיְמָא לָן דְּנִדּוֹן בַּחֲמוּרָה:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ארבע מיתות. סקילה שריפה הרג וחנק – stoning is more severe than burning and both of them [are more severe] than decapitation and the three of them [are more severe] than execution by strangulation. And we derive from it that he who is liable for two death [penalties], we establish that he is judged by the more severe [of the two].

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**

**וְחוֹמֶרֶת.** כּוֹוֶצֶת. לְשׁוֹן חֳמַרְמְרוּ מֵעַי (איכה ב). וְיָלְפִינַן מִבְּנֵי אַהֲרֹן שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר בָּהֶם (ויקרא י) כָּל בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל יִבְכּוּ אֶת הַשְּׂרֵפָה, וְלֹא נִשְׂרְפוּ גוּפָתָם דְּהָא כְתִיב (שם) וַיִּקְרְבוּ וַיִּשָּׂאֻם בְּכֻתֳּנֹתָם, הָכָא נַמִּי מִתְקַיֶּמֶת מִצְוַת שְׂרֵפָה אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵין נִשְׂרָפִים אֶלָּא בְנֵי מֵעַיִם בִּלְבָד. וְהָכִי עֲדִיף טְפֵי, דִּכְתִיב (שם יט) וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ, בְּרֹר לוֹ מִיתָה יָפָה:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
וחומרת – shrinks/curls – the language of (Lamentations 2:11): “My heart is in tumult”; and we derive it from the sons of Aaron as it says concerning them (Leviticus 10:6): “all the house of Israel shall bewail the burning [that the LORD has wrought],” but their bodies were not burned, for it is written (Leviticus 10:5): “They came forward and carried the out of the camp by their tunics…” Here too the command if burning is fulfilled even though only their bowels were burned alone, and this is more preferable as is it written (Leviticus 19:18): “Love your fellow as yourself…”, choose for him a good death.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**

**סַדָּן.** עֵץ עָבֶה תָּקוּעַ בָּאָרֶץ כְּמוֹת שֶׁל נַפָּחִים. וּבַבְּרַיְתָא פֵרְשׁוּ, דְּטַעֲמָא דְפָלֵיג רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אַדְּרַבָּנָן, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁאָמְרָה תוֹרָה (שם יח) וּבְחֻקֹּתֵיהֶם לֹא תֵלֵכוּ. וְאָמְרֵי לֵיהּ רַבָּנָן, כֵּיוָן דִּכְתִיב סַיִף בְּאוֹרַיְתָא, דְּאָמַר קְרָא נָקֹם יִנָּקֵם (שמות כא), לֹא מִנַּיְהוּ גָמְרִינַן. וַהֲלָכָה כַּחֲכָמִים:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
סדן – a thick piece of wood inserted into the ground like that of smiths, and they explained it like the Baraitha (Talmud Sanhedrin 52b), that the reason that Rabbi Yehuda disputes the Sages, since the Torah states (Leviticus 18:3): “…nor shall you follow their laws,” to which the Rabbis responded to him since it is written with a sword in the Torah and the Biblical verse stated (Exodus 21:20): “[When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod, and he dies there an then], he must be avenged,” so we don’t derive it from them, and the Halakha is according to the Sages.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
אלו הן הנסקלין – there are from among them, that it is written concerning them explicitly “stoning,” and those that are not written on them “stoning,” are written concerning them, “his blood be upon him,” or “their blood will be upon them,” for every place where it says, “is blood be upon him,” or “their blood will be upon them” – is none other than stoning, as we derive from the cited ghost and soothsayer, as it is written (Leviticus 20:27): “…they shall be pelted with stones – their bloodguilt shall be upon them.”

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
והנותן מזרעו למולך – For this Tanna holds that Molekh (the fire-god of the Canaanites) is not idolatry, but is a statute of the nations in general, since he teaches in the Mishnah “idolatry”, and also teaches in the Mishnah “Molekh.”

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
והמקלל אביו ואמו – which is worse than striking [his father and/or his mother]. For there are two [forms of] degradation of his father and mother – as well as taking the Name of Heaven in vain, and it is taught in the Mishnah that he is not liable until he curses them by name.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
מכשף – as it is written (Exodus 22:17): “You shall not tolerate a sorceress,” and near it (next verse, 18): “Whoever lies with a beast shall be put to death.” Just as the one who lies with a beast [shall be put to death] by stoning, so too, the sorceress, [shall be put to death] by stoning.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
הבא על האם חייב עליה – two sins, and with all of them [which deal with] incest [it is written concerning them "כרת" / extirpation and it is written concerning them] a separation of sins, and even with one body, and such is the Halakha.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
בין מן האירוסין – for since he betrothed her, she is his wife, as it is written (Leviticus 20:14): “If a man marries a woman….” From the time of his taking, she is called “his wife.” And this “taking” is Kiddushin/Sanctification, as we derive "קיחה"\קיחה" – from the field of Ephron (via an analogy – Leviticus 20:14 and Genesis 23:13 – “accept it from me, that I may bury my dead there”).

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
עד שיפרש את השם – and he will blaspheme the name of God by name, as it states (Leviticus 24:16): “If he also pronounces the name LORD, [he shall be put to death. The whole community shall stone him;] if he has thus pronounced the Name [he shall be put to death],” that he pronounces God’s name, by Name.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
היו דנין אותן בכינוי – any person who perverts matters and speaks like he is cursing and attaches to another is called a substitute in the language of the Sages, and in the language of the Bible (Job 32:22): “For I do not know how to temper my speech – [My Maker would soon carry me off!].”

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
יכה יוסי את יוסי – AI heard because it is four letters [in length], and in Gematria, equals “Elo’him”/”God” (i.e., 86), therefore we use as a nickname, the name of four letters for “Yosi.”

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
נגמר הדין – and the Jewish court comes to state that he is guilty, they are not able to kill him based upon this testimony that they heard, for they did not hear from their lips other than the curse by nickname.
