[Mishnah Meilah 2:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Mishnah%20Meilah/r/2:1)

חַטַּאת הָעוֹף, מוֹעֲלִין בָּהּ מִשֶּׁהֻקְדְּשָׁה. נִמְלְקָה, הֻכְשְׁרָה לְהִפָּסֵל בִּטְבוּל יוֹם וּבִמְחֻסַּר כִּפּוּרִים וּבְלִינָה. הֻזָּה דָמָהּ, חַיָּבִין עָלֶיהָ מִשּׁוּם פִּגּוּל, נוֹתָר וְטָמֵא, וְאֵין בָּהּ מְעִילָה:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**One** who derives benefit **from a bird sin offering is** liable for **misuse** of consecrated property **from** the moment **that it was consecrated.** Once the nape of its neck **was pinched, it was rendered susceptible to disqualification** for sacrifice **through** contact with **one** who was ritually impure **who immersed** in a ritual bath **that day** and is waiting for nightfall for the purification process to be completed, **and through** contact with **one who has not yet** brought **an atonement** offering to complete his purification process, e.g., a *zav* and a leper, who are not yet permitted to partake of sacrificial meat; **and through** it being **left overnight,** i.e., if its blood was not sprinkled before sunset. Once **its blood was sprinkled, one is liable** to receive *karet* **for** eating **it due to** violation of the prohibition of ***piggul*,** and the prohibition of ***notar*, and** the prohibition of partaking of sacrificial meat while **ritually impure. But there is no** liability for **misuse** of consecrated property, because after the blood is sprinkled it is permitted for priests to partake of its meat and it is no longer consecrated exclusively to God.

עוֹלַת הָעוֹף, מוֹעֲלִין בָּהּ מִשֶּׁהֻקְדְּשָׁה. נִמְלְקָה, הֻכְשְׁרָה לְהִפָּסֵל בִּטְבוּל יוֹם וּבִמְחֻסַּר כִּפּוּרִים וּבְלִינָה. מִצָּה דָמָהּ, חַיָּבִין עָלֶיהָ מִשּׁוּם פִּגּוּל, נוֹתָר וְטָמֵא. וּמוֹעֲלִין בָּהּ עַד שֶׁתֵּצֵא לְבֵית הַדָּשֶׁן:

And** as it may not be eaten, **one is** liable for **its misuse until it leaves to the place of the ashes,** where it is burned.

שְׁתֵּי הַלֶּחֶם, מוֹעֲלִין בָּהֶן מִשֶּׁהֻקְדְּשׁוּ. קָרְמוּ בַתַּנּוּר, הֻכְשְׁרוּ לְהִפָּסֵל בִּטְבוּל יוֹם וּבִמְחֻסַּר כִּפּוּרִים וְלִשְׁחֹט עֲלֵיהֶם אֶת הַזָּבַח. נִזְרַק דָּמָן שֶׁל כְּבָשִׂים, חַיָּבִין עֲלֵיהֶן מִשּׁוּם פִּגּוּל, נוֹתָר וְטָמֵא, וְאֵין בָּהֶן מְעִילָה:

לֶחֶם הַפָּנִים, מוֹעֲלִין בּוֹ מִשֶּׁהֻקְדַּשׁ. קָרַם בַּתַּנּוּר, הֻכְשַׁר לְהִפָּסֵל בִּטְבוּל יוֹם וּבִמְחֻסַּר כִּפּוּרִים, וּלְהִסָּדֵר עַל גַּבֵּי הַשֻּׁלְחָן. קָרְבוּ הַבְּזִיכִין, חַיָּבִין עָלָיו מִשּׁוּם פִּגּוּל, נוֹתָר וְטָמֵא, וְאֵין בָּהֶן מְעִילָה:

הַמְּנָחוֹת, מוֹעֲלִין בָּהֶן מִשֶּׁהֻקְדְּשׁוּ. קָדְשׁוּ בַכְּלִי, הֻכְשְׁרוּ לִפָּסֵל בִּטְבוּל יוֹם וּבִמְחֻסַּר כִּפּוּרִים וּבְלִינָה. קָרַב הַקֹּמֶץ, חַיָּבִין עָלָיו מִשּׁוּם פִּגּוּל, נוֹתָר וְטָמֵא. וְאֵין מוֹעֲלִין בַּשְּׁיָרִים, אֲבָל מוֹעֲלִים בַּקֹּמֶץ עַד שֶׁיֵּצֵא לְבֵית הַדָּשֶׁן:

###### Mishnah Meilah 2:9
[Mishnah Meilah 2:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Mishnah%20Meilah/r/2:9)

הַקֹּמֶץ, וְהַלְּבוֹנָה, וְהַקְּטֹרֶת, וּמְנָחוֹת כֹּהֲנִים, וּמִנְחַת כֹּהֵן מָשִׁיחַ, וּמִנְחַת נְסָכִין, מוֹעֲלִין בָּהֶן מִשֶּׁהֻקְדְּשׁוּ. קָדְשׁוּ בַכְּלִי, הֻכְשְׁרוּ לִפָּסֵל בִּטְבוּל יוֹם וּבִמְחֻסַּר כִּפּוּרִים וּבְלִינָה, וְחַיָּבִין עֲלֵיהֶן מִשּׁוּם נוֹתָר וּמִשּׁוּם טָמֵא, וּפִגּוּל אֵין בָּהֶן. זֶה הַכְּלָל, כֹּל שֶׁיֶּשׁ לוֹ מַתִּירִין, אֵין חַיָּבִין עָלָיו מִשּׁוּם פִּגּוּל, נוֹתָר וְטָמֵא, עַד שֶׁיִּקְרְבוּ מַתִּירָיו. וְכֹל שֶׁאֵין לוֹ מַתִּירִין, כֵּיוָן שֶׁקָּדַשׁ בַּכְּלִי, חַיָּבִין עָלָיו מִשּׁוּם נוֹתָר וּמִשּׁוּם טָמֵא, וּפִגּוּל אֵין בּוֹ:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The mishna lists sacrificial items that are consumed in their entirety on the altar and of which the priests have no share. **One is** liable for **misuse of the handful** taken from the meal offering, **and the frankincense** burned with the handful on the altar, **and the incense** burned each day on the golden altar in the Sanctuary, **and the meal offering of priests,** from which a handful is not taken but which is burned in its entirety, **and the meal offering of the anointed priest,** i.e., the High Priest, **and the meal offering** sacrificed with the **libations** that accompany offerings. In all these cases, one is liable for misuse **from** the moment **that they were consecrated** through declaration. Once **one consecrated them** by placing them **in** the appropriate service **vessel,** each **was rendered susceptible to disqualification** for sacrifice **through** contact with **one who immersed** in a ritual bath **that day, and through** contact with **one who has not yet** brought **an atonement** offering, **and through** its blood being **left overnight, and one is liable** to receive *karet* **for** eating **it, due to** violation of the prohibition of ***notar*, and due to** the prohibition of partaking of it while **ritually impure; but there is no** liability for ***piggul* in** each of these cases. **This is the principle** that applies to *piggul*: With regard to **any** consecrated item **that has permitting factors,** i.e., there is another item whose sacrifice renders it permitted for consumption by the altar or by an individual, **one is not liable due to** violation of the prohibition of ***piggul*, and** the prohibition of ***notar*, and** the prohibition of partaking of it while **ritually impure, until they sacrifice** the **permitting factors.** **And** with regard to **any** item **that does not have permitting factors,** e.g., the handful and the frankincense, as they render other items permitted whereas no other items are needed to render them permitted, **once one sanctified** them **in the** appropriate service **vessel, one is liable** to receive *karet* **for** eating **it, due to** violation of the prohibition of ***notar*, and** the prohibition of partaking of it while **ritually impure; but there is no** liability for ***piggul* in** those cases.
