המוליך – specifically he transgressed and carried. For ab initio, it is prohibited to carry it from place to place, but [rather], he must redeem it in its place or bring it up to Jerusalem.

כשער מקומו – like the market price of the place that he is in at the time of the redemption, whether lenient or stringent.

השבח לשני – what they are worth more in the city, the [increased] profit/gain belongs to the Second Tithe. And what he expended to bring them from the field to the city, he has pay from his estate.

פודין מעשר שני – he can redeem it if he wants according to the cheap market price, as it explains further on.

לא כמות שהוא מוכר – that he sells it at a high price, at more than he had purchased it.

כמות שהשולחני פורט – one who comes to redeem pennies /Perutot of the [Second] Tithe by the Sela (= to two shekels, we calculate the Sela with many Perutot, like this money changer when he comes to purchase Perutot from people , and give to them a Selah that he purchases with many Perutot.

ולא כמות שהוא מצרף – when the money changer gives small change to people in exchange for a Selah (coin of larger value) , he gives them less.

אכסרה – [in a lump/measuring by sight] not by measure nor by weight, but rather how much he gives in this pile or these handfuls.

על פי אחד – with an estimation he takes one

על פי ג' – through experts in estimation, and even if one of them is an idolater, and even if one of them is an owner.

קרם – began to leaven/sour, and another reading is that it developed a pungent taste/soured/קסס – and an example of this is in Bava Batra 93b (also Tosefta Bava Batra 6:6): I accept upon myself ten casks of pungent wine for every one-hundred.

מפני שהוא מוסיף חומש – As it is written (Leviticus 27:31): “If anyone wishes to redeem any of his tithes, [he must add one-fifth to them].” On his own [tithes] he adds one-fifth, but not on those of his fellow.

האיסר – The Issar is one ninety-sixth of a Sela.

מפני שהוא מוסיף על הקרן – and the addition of any amount of the principal is preferred, since upon the one-fifth, one can get around the law with an artifice as its taught in the Mishnah (4) further on.

ובין שנתן לו במתנה – the produce that requires the separation of Levitical and Priestly shares, before one can partake of them, before he separated from them the tithes, he gave him a gift, and even if the Second Tithe of another was separated, we establish according to the one who said that it {Second Tithes] are the money of the All-High (i.e., God) and are not given as gifts.

לעבדו ולשפחתו העברים – for their bodies are not purchased (i.e., “owned”)

ופדה לך – through them – the Second Tithe for yourself.

מפני שידן כידו – for what the servant purchased, the Master purchased. And his minor son also, what he possesses and what he finds [belongs] to his father.

היה עומד בגורן – and he desires to act with subtlety/get around the law by an artifice and to redeem the Second Tithe without [adding] the one-fifth.

ואין בידו מעות – in order that he can give them to his fellow, who will redeem with them the Second Tithe without the one-fifth.

הרי הפירות האלו מתונים לך במתנה – and specifically, that he gave them to him while they were eatables forbidden pending the separation of sacred gifts, prior to his separating the Second Tithe, as we explained above.

משך ממנו מעשר בסלע – A person who sells Second Tithe, in order to make it profane via the monies [acquired] through the sale, and that the monies will be seized for the holiness of the [Second] Tithe, for in this manner, it is permitted to sell it. And as it is taught in the first chapter [Mishnah 1], we don’t sell it, that is to carry it to Jerusalem and not so that the monies will be seized in the holiness of [Second Tithe]. For when he “pulled” the [Second] Tithe to formally acquire it, it was worth a Selah, but he did not have sufficient time to give the money until it stood at two [Selas]. And the [Second] Tithe does not become non-sacred produce until he gives the monies to the seller.

נותן לו סלע – for since he acquired it through “pulling,” and the purchase gains a Sela when it becomes more expensive. But he must redeem it according to the current market price of two Selas. For the [Second] Tithe does not become non-sacred produce until he gives the monies to the seller. But the one Sela’s worth of Second Tithe is his and he consumes it in Jerusalem.

עד שעמד בסלע – and he must give to the seller two Selas that he acquired it through “pulling,” and it is redeemed with one Sela according to the current market price. Therefore, he gives him the monies of a Sela from the monies of his non-sacred produce. And through that, the [Second] Tithe is redeemed. But the second Sela he he gives him from the monies of his own Second Tithe like someone who repays his loan obligation from the monies of Second Tithe, because at the outset of the transaction, he was standing for the fact that the seller would consume two Selas-worth in Jerusalem if it did become cheaper in price.

אם היה עם הארץ נותן לו מדמיו – for if the seller was an ignoramus (i.e., who probably did not tithe), he gives him two Selas from the monies of his non-sacred produce, for we do not transfer monies of [Second] Tithe to an ignoramus. And there are those who read this – from doubtfully-tithed produce, if he has the [Second] Tithe monies from doubtfully-tithed produce, he gives him one Selar from those monies and transfers the monies of the doubtfully-tithed produce to the ignoramus.

ולא קרא שם – he did not say: “this is [the] redemption-money for the Second Tithe.”

צריך לפרש – this is its redemption-monies, and the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yossi.

ולא פירש – he did not say, “This is your Jewish bill of divorce,” or “Behold you are betrothed to me.”

ר' יוסי אומר: דיו – since they were dealing with the same matter and amidst those things , he stood and divorced [her] or betrothed [her], there is no need to explain, and the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yossi.

המניח איסר – to be redeemed upon the produce of Second Tithe, and it was already redeemed.

ואכל עליו חציו והלך למקום אחר – and he carried the Issar with him, and there it is worth a Pundiyon, and at first, he would not leave other than with one-half a Pundiyon, for the Pundiyon is equivalent to two Isaarim. It would be found that according to what he currently goes out with what remains is an Issar of non-sacred produce and therefore he consumes from it another Issar.

אוכל עליו עוד פלג – one-half Issar, and we don’t say that since it is not worth other than an Issar, that he actually ate all of it.

המניח איסר של מעשר שני – in order to eat of it as his non-sacred produce in the sanctity of [Second] Tithe. And he consumes from it until eleven per Issar, and one one-hundredth of an Issar, all of his Issar became non-sacred. But if the Issar was from the Second Tithe monies of that were certainly tithed, and he consumed from that total until there remained in it one out of one-hundred, such as one hundred figs are sold for an Issar, and he consumed ninety-nine of them, all of them became non-sacred produce.

וב"ש אומרים הכל עשרה – One of them was most certainly tithed and another was doubtfully tithed, if there did not remain from that Issar other than one-tenth, it became non-sacred produce., such as the case where there were ten pomegranates that were sold for an Issar, and he consumed nine of them that became non-sacred produce, if there remained additional produce, such as if he had only consumed eight [out of ten], he must consume the corresponding amount.

וב"ה אומרים: - בודאי אחד עשר ובדמאי עשרה – if there remained of the Issar of definitely tithed produce an Issar’s worth eleven, he is obligated to consume another [one part], since all whaich is less than the equivalent of a penny, we are not concerned for him, not for the matter of theft, nor the matter of benefiting from that which is dedicated to the Temple. A Perutah/penny is one-eighth of Italian Issar – hence, one tenth of an Issar is eight tenths of a Perutah which is equal to a Perutah less twenty percent. It turns out that when one adds twenty-percent which is one-quarter from the inside which is equal to one-fifth on he outside, there will be [amongst] everything a penny/Perutah. And therefore, we are concerned for this, for if there will be less than one-tenth, we don’t worry, for even with the addition of an additional fifth there will be in it less than the equivalent value of a Perutah. And therefore, they said, that with a definitively-tithed produce, eleven, and with doubtfully-tithed produce ten, since we are not obligated [an additional] one-fifth on that which is doubtfully-tithed, and the one-tenth is less than the equivalent of a Perutah. And the Halakha is according to the School of Hillel.

כל המעות הנמצאים – in every place whether during the Festival/Sukkot, whether during the rest of the days of the year. And in Jerusalem, on the rest of the days of the years, except for the days of the Festival/Sukkot.

הרי אלו חולין – and we don’t suspect them lest they were monies of the Second Tithe.

אפילו דינר זהב עם הכסף ועם המעות – for there is no way to combine them together. And one can say that these monies of Second Tithe which are accustomed to be redeemed to become secular again with golden dinars and that which remains does not become golden dinars, is redeemed on the silver and that which is left over on copper coins and we combine them together; even so, we don’t suspect.

מצא בתוכן – in the purse or bag in which the money is placed into.

הוא חולין – for it is not the manner of human beings to sanctify earthenware for keeping the Temple in repair. And for the sake of what is in it, it was written.

הוא קרבן – that is to say, that which is dedicated for a sacred purpose, the Temple.

הוליך לתוך קרבן – and it is all a sacrifice, and the Rabbis did not dispute on [the opinion of] Rabbi Yehuda but only about metal alone. But that which is earthenware, they admit that is non-holy/profane and what is inside is a sacrifice. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.

קוף קרבן – it is sacred/Temple property

ד' דמאי – it was taken from an ignoramus [who is not careful with tithing, especially Second Tithe].

בשעת הסכנה – that they decreed to not fulfill the commandments.

שמות בני אדם הן – letters of the beginnings of names; קוף/Kehat; ד'/Daniel; ט'/Tuvia – and all of it is profane.

אשתקד היתה מלאה פירות תרומה ופינה – And the Rabbis hold that if there was emptying of the heave-offering, he would scrape it off and would not leave any heave-offering in it, that is written there. But the Halakha does not follow Rabbi Yosi.

הרי אלו חולין – what he found is non-sacred, for I say that he took Second Tithe.

הרי שם מנה – His father said to him: “Behold there is a Maneh (i.e., one-hundred) of Second Tithe” and he found two hundred – one hundred [Second] Tithe and one hundred non-sacred. And we don’t say that the Maneh of [Second] Tithe is taken and these are other.

מאתים ומצא מנה – His father said to him: Behold there are two hundred there, but he found [only] one Maneh (i.e., one hundred), the Maneh that he found was [Second] Tithe.
