**זֵעַת הַמַּעֲטָן.** כְּלִי שֶׁנּוֹתְנִים בּוֹ אֶת הַזֵּיתִים וְהֵן נִכְמָרוֹת שָׁם כְּדֵי שֶׁיִּהְיוּ רְאוּיִים לְהוֹצִיא שֶׁמֶן. לְשׁוֹן עֲטִינָיו מָלְאוּ חָלָב [אִיּוֹב כא]:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
זיעת המעטן (the – intended - exudation produced by lying in the vat/exude the sweat of the vat) – a vessel that they place the olives in and they shrink by effect of the heat there in order to the appropriate to remove the oil. The language of (Job 21:24): “His pails are full of milk.”

**אֲבָל לֹא זֵעַת הַקֻּפָּה.** דְּקֻפָּה אֵינָהּ מַחֲזֶקֶת הַמַּשְׁקִין, וְהַמַּשְׁקֶה הַיּוֹצֵא מֵהֶן הוֹלֵךְ לְאִבּוּד, וְלֹא נִיחָא לֵיהּ, וְאֵין מַכְשִׁיר הַזְּרָעִים לְקַבֵּל טֻמְאָה אֶלָּא מַשְׁקֶה דְּנִיחָא לֵיהּ, דִּכְתִיב (ויקרא יא) וְכִי יֻתַּן מַיִם עַל זֶרַע, כְּתִיב יִתֵּן וְקָרִינַן יֻתַּן, יֻתַּן דּוּמְיָא דְּיִתֵּן, מַה יִּתֵּן דְּנִיחָא לֵיהּ אַף יֻתַּן דְּנִיחָא לֵיהּ:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
אבל לא זיעת הקופה (but not the – unwelcome – exudation originating in the pile or basket) – for the basket does not hold the liquids, for the basket that comes out from hem goes to waste and it is not appropriate for him, and it doesn’t make the seeds susceptible to receive ritual impurity other than liquid that is appropriate for it, as it is written (Leviticus 11:38): “but if water is put on the seed”/"וכי יתן-מים על-זרע" – is written יתן (defectively), but we read it as "יותן"/”yuttan” (written fully), [the word] יותן is similar to יתן. Just as "יתן" is satisfactory, so also ”יותן" is satisfactory.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
שיעור זיעה שלשה ימים (the measure/prescribed time of sweat is three days) – for liquid that goes out within three days is not considered oil but rather a mere thin secretion and doesn’t make it susceptible [for ritual impurity], for they don’t make it susceptible to receive ritual impurity other than the seven liquids (see Tractate Makhshrin, Chapter 6, Mishnah 4) alone, and they are wine, water, olive oil, honey, milk, dew and blood.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
משתגמר מלאכתן (after the work of preparing them is completed) – the work of bringing them. For all the time that it is intention to bring in more olives from another place to add to these, the sweat does not make them susceptible [for receiving ritual impurity], because it is not satisfactory for him. But when the work of preparing them is completed, even of that day, it makes it susceptible [to receive ritual impurity], even for that one day, it makes it (i.e., the olives) susceptible [to receive ritual impurity]. And the Halakha is according to Rabban Gamaliel, for the Sages state according to his words.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
אין טמא אלא מקום מגען – it is not fit to receive Levitical uncleanness other than the place of the falling liquid. Another explanation: if they (i.e., the water) on these olives whose work of preparing them was not completed the liquids are impure, nothing is defiled from them other than the olives that the impure liquids them alone.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
ר' אליעזר מטהר – for he (i.e., Rabbi Eliezer) does not consider the thin secretion/sap a liquid neither to make susceptible the seeds [to receive ritual defilement] and not to receive defilement like the rest of the liquids (see Tractate Makhshirin, Chapter 6, Mishnah 4).

And the Halakha is according to the Sages, and like the first Tanna/teacher [of the Mishnah] and not like Rabbi Shimon explained it.

קופה אחת – in order that he would separate heave-offering from it and [first-tithe] from it in ritual purity [and give it in the presence of the Kohen, that the Kohen] himself will see that he now has finished working with his olives, for if he doesn’t give it in the presence of the Kohen, he will not be believed to state that he guarded them in ritual purity, since the time of the vats and olive presses have passed. But there are books where we have the reading "לעני הכהן"/to a poor person who is a Kohen, because small amounts of heave-offering like this that he separates after [the time has passed] of the vats and the olive presses, it is not customary to give it other than to an indigent Kohen, because of this, it (i.e., this manuscript of the Mishnah) teaches: "כהן עני"/an indigent/poor Kohen, and the same law applies when he is able to give to a wealthy Kohen.

And there are those who explain "לגרגרן"/to shrivel them, to sweet them in the sun in order that make an incision in them with salt and to consume them. And because they all do not become sweet at once, because of this, it (i.e., the Mishnah) takes [the term]: "לגרגרן"/to make of them shriveled olives, that is to say that he takes the shriveled olives that sweeten one by one and consumes them, and we have the reading: "אפילו הן רום אמה"/even if they are piled a cubit in height, they are fit for Levitical uncleanness, meaning to say, even that they are a cubit high for now those lowest ones are sweetened, they are made fit for Levitical uncleanness by liquids that exude from them.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
בין כותל לזיתים טהור - and we are not concerned that perhaps it (i.e., the creeping insect) was on the olives.

נמצא במעטן – olives that he brought up on the roof, are ritually impure, for before he brought the the olives to the roof the creeping insect was in the vat.

**נִמְצָא שָׂרוּף.** וְשֶׁרֶץ שָׂרוּף לֹא מְטַמֵּא, דִּכְתִיב [וַיִּקְרָא יא] בְּמוֹתָם, כְּעֵין מוֹתָם. וּכְשֶׁנִּמְצָא שָׂרוּף עַל גַּבֵּי זֵיתִים טְהוֹרִים, לֹא חָיְשִׁינַן שֶׁמָּא נָגַע בָּהֶן קֹדֶם שֶׁנִּשְׂרַף:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
נמצא שרוף (if it found burned – and clean on the olives) – but a burnt creeping insect does not defile, as it is written (Leviticus 11:31): “whoever touches them when they are dead [shall be impure until evening],” similar to their being dead. And when it is found burnt on top of ritually pure olives, we are not concerned that perhaps it touched them before it was burned.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
מהוהא (tattered, scorched) – a cloth that was burned by fire and became like a kind of קורי עכבים/an impeding beam, and it no longer is susceptible to receive ritual defilement.
