כָּל הַמְּנָחוֹת בָּאוֹת מַצָּה חוּץ מֵחָמֵץ שֶׁבַּתּוֹדָה. דִּכְתִיב (ויקרא ז) עַל חַלֹּת לֶחֶם חָמֵץ:

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

כל המנחות באות מצה חוץ מחמץ שבתודה – as it is written (Leviticus 7:13): “This offering with cakes of leavened bread added.”

וּשְׁתֵּי הַלֶּחֶם. דִּכְתִיב (שם כג) חָמֵץ תֵּאָפֶינָה:

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

ושתי הלחם – as it is written (Leviticus 23:15): “baked after leavening.”

שְׂאֹר הָיָה בּוֹדֶה לָהֶן מִתּוֹכָן. מִתּוֹךְ עִשָּׂרוֹן דְּתוֹדָה וּשְׁתֵּי הַלֶּחֶם הָיָה מוֹצִיא שְׂאֹר, שֶׁהָיָה לָשׁ מִן הַסֹּלֶת מְעַט לְאַחַר שֶׁנִּמְדַּד וְטוֹמְנוֹ בַּסֹּלֶת וּמִתְחַמֵּץ מֵאֵלָיו וּמִמֶּנּוּ מְחַמֵּץ הַשְּׁאָר, שֶׁמִּמָּקוֹם אַחֵר לֹא הָיָה יָכוֹל לְהָבִיא שֶׁלֹּא תְהֵא מִנְחָה יְתֵרָה:

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

שאור היה בודה להן מתוכן (leaven is set aside for them from their own [contents]) – from the Issaron/tenth of thanksgiving offering and the two loaves [of bread], he removes the yeast, that he would knead from the fine flour a little after it was measured and preserve it in fine-flour and it leavens on its own and from it the rest leavens, for from another place, he would not be able to ring it so that there wouldn’t be extra meal-offering.

הִיא אֵינָהּ מִן הַמֻּבְחָר. שֶׁאֵינָהּ מַחְמֶצֶת יָפֶה, לְפִי שֶׁאֵין לָהּ שְׂאֹר מְחֻמָּץ יָפֶה:

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

והיא אינה מן המובחר – and it doesn’t leaven well, because it does not have yeast from the good vinegar.

אֶלָּא מֵבִיא שְׂאֹר. שֶׁמְּחֻמָּץ יָפֶה מִתּוֹךְ בֵּיתוֹ, וְנוֹתֵן לְתוֹךְ הָעִשָּׂרוֹן וּמוֹסִיף וּמְמַלֵּא סֹלֶת:

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

אלא מביא שאור – that is from good vinegar from within his house, and places it it within the Issaron and adds and fills it in with fine flour.

אַף הִיא הָיְתָה חֲסֵרָה אוֹ יְתֵרָה. כְּגוֹן אִם הַשְּׂאֹר עָבֶה וּמְגֻבָּל בְּקֹשִׁי עִם מְעַט מַיִם, אֵינוֹ מַחֲזִיק נֶפַח גָּדוֹל כְּאִלּוּ הָיָה קֶמַח, וְנִמְצָא הָעִשָּׂרוֹן יוֹתֵר, לְפִי שֶׁאִם לֹא הָיָה שְׂאֹר מְגֻבָּל הָיָה נִפְחוֹ גָּדוֹל מֵעַכְשָׁיו. וְאִם אֵינוֹ מְגֻבָּל יָפֶה, שֶׁנָּתַן בּוֹ מַיִם הַרְבֵּה, נִמְצָא נִפְחוֹ גָּדוֹל מִשֶּׁאִלּוּ הָיָה קֶמַח וְנִמְצָא עִשָּׂרוֹן חָסֵר, שֶׁאִם לֹא בִּשְׁבִיל הַמַּיִם לֹא יִהְיֶה מָלֵא. וַהֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי יְהוּדָה:

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

אף היא היתה חסרה או יתירה – as for example, the yeast was thick and kneads with difficulty with a little water, it doesn’t hold a large volume as if it were flour and it is found that the Issaron is greater, for if the yeast/leaven were kneaded its yeast/leaven would be greater than now. But if it is not kneaded well, that he placed in a lot of water, it is found that is volume is greater than if it were flour and it was found that the Issaron is less, for were it not for the water, it would not be full. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehuda.

שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר כָּל הַמִּנְחָה אֲשֶׁר תַּקְרִיבוּ לַה'‏ לֹא תֵעָשֶׂה חָמֵץ. אַרֵישָׁא קָאֵי דְּקָתָנֵי וּמִשְׁתַּמְּרוֹת שֶׁלֹּא יַחְמִיצוּ, וְקֹדֶם קְמִיצָה מִשְׁתָּעֵי. וּשְׁיָרֶיהָ יָלְפִינַן מִקְּרָא אַחֲרִינָא דִּכְתִיב (שם ו) לֹא תֵאָפֶה חָמֵץ חֶלְקָם, אַף חֶלְקָם שֶׁל כֹּהֲנִים שֶׁהֵם שְׁיָרֵי הַמִּנְחָה שֶׁנִּשְׁאֲרוּ מִן הַקֹּמֶץ, אַף זוֹ לֹא תֵּאָפֶה חָמֵץ. וּבֶחָמֵץ דַּוְקָא הֻזְהֲרוּ עַל הַשִּׁירַיִם, אֲבָל מֻתָּר לָלוּשׁ אוֹתָם בִּדְבַשׁ וּלְטַגְּנָן בּוֹ:

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

שנאמר כל המנחה אשר תקריבו לה' לא תעשה חמץ – it refers to the first clause [of the Mishnah] as it teaches that they are watched so that they do not become leavened, and it is speaking of prior to grabbing a handful . But the residue/remnants we derive from a different verse, as it is written (Leviticus 6:10): “It shall not be baked with leaven; [I have given it] as their portion [from My gifts],” even the portion of the priests which are the residue of the meal-offering that remained from the handful, even this shall not be baked with leaven, and with leaven, it is especially mentioned regarding the residue, but it is permitted to knead them with honey and to fry them with oil in it.

עֲרִיכָתָהּ. שֶׁמִּתְעַסֵּק בָּהּ בַּיָּדַיִם אַחַר לִישָׁה. וְחַיָּבִין עַל כָּל אַחַת וְאַחַת, לְפִי שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר לֹא תֵעָשֶׂה חָמֵץ, יָכוֹל לֹא יְהֵא חַיָּב אֶלָּא אַחַת, תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר לֹא תֵאָפֶה, אֲפִיָּה בִּכְלָל הָיְתָה וְלָמָּה יָצָאת, לְהָקִישׁ אֵלֶיהָ, מָה אֲפִיָּה מְיֻחֶדֶת שֶׁהִיא מַעֲשֶׂה יְחִידִי וְחַיָּבִין עָלֶיהָ בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָהּ, אַף אֲנִי אָבִיא לִישָׁתָהּ וַעֲרִיכָתָהּ וְכָל מַעֲשֶׂה יְחִידִי שֶׁבָּהּ, לַאֲתוֹיֵי קִטּוּף שֶׁהוּא מַעֲשֶׂה יְחִידִי וְחַיָּבִין עָלֶיהָ בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָהּ. וְקִטּוּף הוּא שֶׁמַּחֲלִיק פָּנֶיהָ בְּמַיִם, וְאַף עַל גַּב דְּלֹא מֵחֲזֵי כָּל כָּךְ מַעֲשֶׂה:

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

עריכתה (rolling it) – when he engages it with his hands after kneading, and they are liable for each and every one, for since it is says (Leviticus 2:11): “[No grain offering that you offer to the LORD] shall be made with leaven,” he is not able to be liable except for one [offering], the inference teaches us that “it should not be baked” (Leviticus 6:10), that baking was included and why was it excluded, to make an analogy of Biblical verses to it, just as baking is special that it is the action of an individual and one is liable for it on its own, even I include kneading it and rolling it and all individual actions regarding it, to include forming and smoothing the surface of the dough which is the action of an individual and we are liable for it on its own. And forming and smoothing the surface of the dough is smoothing its face in water and even though it does not appear so much as an action.

מִנְחַת סֹלֶת. הַמִּתְנַדֵּב מִנְחָה סְתָם, מֵבִיא סֹלֶת וְשֶׁמֶן וּלְבוֹנָה, וּבוֹלְלָהּ וְקוֹמְצָהּ כְּמוֹ שֶׁהִיא קֹדֶם אֲפִיָּה. וּבְדִידָהּ כְּתִיב שֶׁמֶן וּלְבוֹנָה, וְכָל הָנֵי אַחֲרִינֵי גָּמְרֵי מִמִּנְחַת סֹלֶת דִּכְתִיב בָּהּ נֶפֶשׁ, דְּמַשְׁמַע דְּכָל מִנְחַת יָחִיד טְעוּנָה שֶׁמֶן וּלְבוֹנָה:

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

מנחת סולת – a person who vows a mere free-will meal-offering, brings fine flour and oil and frankincense and mixes it and takes a handful as it is prior to baking it. And for which it is written (Leviticus 2:1): “he shall pour oil upon it, lay frankincense on it,” all of these others we derive from the meal-offering of fine flour where it is written regarding the meal-offering of fine flour (Leviticus 2:1): “when a person,” that implies that all meal-offerings of an individual require oil and frankincense.

וְהַחַלּוֹת וְהָרְקִיקִין. לְמִנְחַת מַאֲפֶה תַּנּוּר קָרֵי הַחַלּוֹת וְהָרְקִיקִין. דְּאִי בָּעֵי חַלּוֹת מַיְתֵי וְאִי בָּעֵי רְקִיקִין מַיְתֵי:

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

והחלות והרקיקין – a meal-offering of grain that is baked in an oven is called, the loaves [of bread] and the wafers. For if he requires loaves [of bread], he brings them and if he requires wafers, he brings wafers.

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

ומנחת כהנים – a Kohen who volunteers to donate one from these five meal-offerings.

מִנְחַת כֹּהֵן מָשִׁיחַ. מִנְחַת חֲבִתִּין:

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

מנחת כהן משיח – the meal-offering of unleavened cakes (see Tractate Menahot, Chapter 4, Mishnah 5).

גּוֹי. מִתְנַדֵּב מִנְחָה, כִּדְיָלְפִינַן מֵאִישׁ אִישׁ, מְלַמֵּד שֶׁהַנָּכְרִים מְבִיאִין נְדָרִים וּנְדָבוֹת כְּיִשְׂרָאֵל:

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

גוי – [a heathen] who freely donates a meal-offering as we derive from "איש איש"/anyone (Leviticus 17:8 – “If any one of the house of Israel or of the strangers who reside among them offers a burnt-offering or a sacrifice”) which teaches that heathens bring votive offerings and free-will offerings like Israelites.

וּמִנְחַת נָשִׁים. אִשָּׁה שֶׁהִתְנַדְּבָה מִנְחָה:

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

וְלֶחֶם הַפָּנִים. כְּתִיב בֵּיהּ (ויקרא כד) וְנָתַתָּ עַל הַמַּעֲרֶכֶת לְבֹנָה זַכָּה, וְלֹא כְּתִיב בֵּיהּ שֶׁמֶן:

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

ולחם הפנים – it is written regarding it (Leviticus 24:7): “With each row you shall place pure frankincense, [which is to be a token offering for the read, as a gift to the LORD].” But oil is not written there.

שְׁתֵּי הַחַלּוֹת. שֶׁל עֲצֶרֶת, לֹא הֻזְכַּר בָּהֶן לֹא שֶׁמֶן וְלֹא לְבוֹנָה:

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

שתי חלות – of Atzeret/Shavuot, but it is not mentioned on them neither oil nor frankincense (see Leviticus 5:11: “he shall not add oil to it or lay frankincense on it, [for it is a purification offering].”

מִנְחַת חוֹטֵא וּמִנְחַת קְנָאוֹת. בְּהֶדְיָא כְּתִיב בְּהוּ (שם ה) לֹא יָשִׂים עָלֶיהָ שֶׁמֶן וְלֹא יִתֵּן עָלֶיהָ לְבֹנָה:

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

לא פסלה – and we don’t say that behold he transgressed on what is written in the Torah (Leviticus 5:11): “he shall not add oil to it [or lay frankincense to it],” for the Torah did not warn other than that he should not place the oil into the fine-flour or into the flour.

טְעוּנוֹת הַגָּשָׁה. בְּחֻדָּהּ שֶׁל קֶרֶן דְּרוֹמִית מַעֲרָבִית, כְּדִכְתִיב (שם ב) וְהִגִּישָׁהּ אֶל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ:

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

בישראל אבל לא באחרים – it explains in the Gemara (Tractate Menahot 61b) that this is what he said: both those of Israelite men and women, their sacrifices require waving, and the waving itself is by an Israelite [male], but not by women, for it is stated in a Baraitha, that male Israelites wave, but the heathens do not wave; male Israelites wave but the daughters of Israel do not wave.

שְׁתֵּי הַלֶּחֶם וְכִבְשֵׂי שְׁלָמִים שֶׁל עֲצָרֶת. הַבָּאִים בִּגְלַל הַלֶּחֶם. כְּתִיב בְּהוּ (שם כג) וְהֵנִיף הַכֹּהֵן אֹתָם עַל לֶחֶם הַבִּכֻּרִים, וְלֹא עַל מַמָּשׁ, אֶלָּא סָמוּךְ לָהֶם, כְּבָשִׂים בְּצַד הַלֶּחֶם, כְּדִבְרֵי רַבִּי בַּבְּרַיְתָא. וְכֵן הֲלָכָה:

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

שתי הלחם וכבשי שלמים של עצרת – that come on account of the bread. It is written concerning them (Leviticus 23:20): “The priest shall elevate these – the two lambs- together with the bread of the first fruits as an elevation offering before the LORD,” not on them specifically, but rather near them, the lambs at the side of the bread, according to the words of Rabbi [Judah the Prince] in the Baraitha. And such is the Halakha.

שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר. [בַּמִּלּוּאִים] (שמות כ"ט) אֲשֶׁר הוּנַף וַאֲשֶׁר הוּרָם, וּמֵהוּנַף וְהוּרַם דְּמִלּוּאִים יָלְפִינַן שְׁאָר תְּנוּפוֹת. תְּנוּפָה, מוֹלִיךְ וּמֵבִיא. תְּרוּמָה, מַעֲלֶה וּמוֹרִיד:

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

שנאמר – [concerning the ordination of Aaron] (Exodus 29:27): “the breast that was offered as an elevation offering (i.e., waived) and the thigh that was offered as a gift offering (i.e., raised) [from the ram of ordination – from that which was Aaron’s and from that which was his sons’],” and from that which was offered as an elevation offering and that which was elevated as a gift offering, we derive the rest of the waiving done: the waiving - bringing them forward and backward; and the raising of them – upward and downward.

תְּנוּפָה הָיְתָה בַמִּזְרָח. כְּלוֹמַר, אַף בַּמִּזְרָח שֶׁל מִזְבֵּחַ יָכוֹל לְהָנִיף, וְכָל שֶׁכֵּן בְּמַעֲרָבוֹ דְּקָרוֹב יוֹתֵר לַהֵיכָל:

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

תנופה היתה במזרח – meaning to say, even in the east of he altar one is able to wave, and all the more so, on the west side which is closer to the Sanctuary.

וּתְנוּפוֹת קוֹדְמוֹת לַהַגָּשׁוֹת. בִּתְחִלָּה מֵנִיף וְאַחַר כָּךְ מַגִּישׁ. וּבְמִנְחַת הָעֹמֶר וּבְמִנְחַת קְנָאוֹת אַיְרֵי דִּטְעוּנוֹת תְּנוּפָה וְהַגָּשָׁה, וּכְתִיב בְּמִנְחַת קְנָאוֹת (במדבר ה) וְהֵנִיף אֶת הַמִּנְחָה לִפְנֵי ה', וַהֲדַר וְהִקְרִיב אֹתָהּ אֶל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ:

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

ותנופות קודמות להגשות – first he waves/elevates and afterwards brings it near. But in the meal-offering of the Omer and the meal-offering of jealousy we are speaking s that they require elevation and bringing near, as it is written with regard to the meal-offering of jealousy (Numbers 5:25): “elevate the grain offering [of jealousy] before the LORD” and afterwards (ibid.,): “and present it on the altar.”

שְׁלֹשָׁה מִינִין. שַׁלְמֵי יָחִיד, וְשַׁלְמֵי צִבּוּר שֶׁהֵם כִּבְשֵׂי עֲצֶרֶת, וַאֲשַׁם מְצֹרָע. שְׁלֹשָׁה מִינִים הַלָּלוּ טְעוּנִים בֵּין שְׁלָשְׁתָּן שָׁלֹשׁ מִצְוֹת, סְמִיכָה, תְּנוּפָה חַיִּים, תְּנוּפָה שְׁחוּטִים:

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

שלשה מינין – the individual peace-offering, and the communal peace offering which are the lambs of Atzeret/Shavuot, and the guilt offering of the leper. These three kinds [of offerings] require between the three of them three rituals: laying of the hands [while the animal is yet alive, waving of the animal while alive and the waving of slaughtered animals.

שְׁתַּיִם. מִצְוֹת מִן הַשָּׁלֹשׁ יֵשׁ בְּכָל מִין וָמִין, וְהַשְּׁלִישִׁית אֵין בָּהֶם. דְּאֵין בְּכָל מִין אֶלָּא שְׁתַּיִם:

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

שתים – rituals from these three are done with each kind, but the third is not done with them, because there are only two for each kind.

שַׁלְמֵי יָחִיד. כְּתִיב בְּהוּ סְמִיכָה בְּוַיִּקְרָא:

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

שלמי יחיד – it is written with them laying of the hands in [the Torah portion of] Vayikra (i.e., Leviticus 3:2: “He shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering and slaughter it at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.”).

וּתְנוּפָה שְׁחוּטִים. בֶּחָזֶה וָשׁוֹק שֶׁלָּהֶן, בְּצַו אֶת אַהֲרֹן:

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

ותנופה שחוטים – regarding their breast and thigh, in [the Torah portion of] Tzav (i.e., “Command Aaron” – see Leviticus 7:31-32).

שַׁלְמֵי צִבּוּר. כְּתִיב בְּהוּ תְּנוּפָה חַיִּים, וְהֵנִיף הַכֹּהֵן אֹתָם דְּהַיְנוּ חַיִּים, וּתְנוּפָה שְׁחוּטִים, בֶּחָזֶה וָשׁוֹק שֶׁלָּהֶן, דְּיָלְפִינַן (מקדשי) [מִשַּׁלְמֵי] יָחִיד. אֲבָל סְמִיכָה לֹא בָּעוּ, דְּהִלְכָתָא גְּמִירֵי לַהּ דְּאֵין בְּכָל קָרְבְּנוֹת צִבּוּר אֶלָּא שְׁתֵּי סְמִיכוֹת בִּלְבַד, סְמִיכָה שֶׁל שָׂעִיר הַמִּשְׁתַּלֵּחַ וְשֶׁל פַּר הֶעְלֵם דָּבָר שֶׁל צִבּוּר:

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

שלמי צבור – it is written with them waving while alive (Leviticus 23:20): “The priest shall elevate these – [the two lambs – together with the bread of the first fruits as an elevation offering before the LORD],” that is while they are alive, and the waving of those that are slaughtered, that the breast and thighs are theirs, as we derive from the individual’s peace offerings. But placing of the hands [on the head] is not required, for the Halakha was decided for it that there aren’t in all of the communal sacrifices other than two laying of the hands alone, the lay of the hands on the scapegoat [of Yom Kippur] (Leviticus 16:21) and [the laying of hands] on the bull for an unwitting communal sin (Leviticus 4:15).

אֲשַׁם מְצֹרָע. כְּתִיב בֵּיהּ תְּנוּפָה חַי, כְּדִכְתִיב וְהֵנִיף הַכֹּהֵן אוֹתָם, בְּפָרָשַׁת זֹאת תִּהְיֶה. וּסְמִיכָה, דְּאִי אֶפְשָׁר לְקָרְבַּן יָחִיד שֶׁלֹּא יִסְמֹךְ יָדוֹ עַל רֹאשׁ קָרְבָּנוֹ:

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

אשם מצורע – it is written concerning it, a living waving (Leviticus 14:12): “And he shall elevate them [as an elevation offering before the LORD],” in [the Torah portion of]: “This shall be the ritual of the leper.” But laying of the hands, that it is impossible for an individual sacrifice that he should not lay his hands upon the head of his sacrifice.

אֲבָל לֹא תְנוּפָה שָׁחוּט. דְּמִעֵט רַחֲמָנָא גַּבֵּי שַׁלְמֵי יָחִיד, (ויקרא ז) אֵת הֶחָזֶה לְהָנִיף אֹתוֹ. אֹתוֹ, לְמַעוֹטֵי אָשָׁם שֶׁל מְצֹרָע שֶׁאֵינוֹ טָעוּן תְּנוּפָה שָׁחוּט:

אבל לא תנופה שחוט – that the All-Merciful excluded concerning the individual peace-offering, (Leviticus 7:30): “the breast to be elevated as an elevation offering before the LORD,” אותו/it – to exclude the guilt offering of the leper which does not require the elevation of something already slaughtered.

מַרְחֶשֶׁת עֲמֻקָּה. דִּכְתִיב (ויקרא ז) וְכָל נַעֲשָׂה בַמַּרְחֶשֶׁת, בְּתוֹכָהּ מַשְׁמַע, אַלְמָא יֵשׁ לָהּ תּוֹךְ:

מרחשת עמוקה – as it is written (Leviticus 7:9): “and any that is prepared in a pan” implying within it, so we see that it has something inside/within.

וּמַעֲשֶׂיהָ רוֹחֲשִׁין. שֶׁהַשֶּׁמֶן נָע וָנָד בְּתוֹכָהּ. לְשׁוֹן הָרוֹמֵשׂ עַל הָאָרֶץ דִּמְתַרְגְּמִינַן דְּרָחֵישׁ. וְיֵשׁ שֶׁגּוֹרְסִין וּמַעֲשֶׂיהָ רַכִּין, כְּלוֹמַר שֶׁלִּישָׁתָהּ רַכָּה:

ומעשיה רוחשין (and what is inside it moves/vibrates – like jelly – see Tractate Menahot 63a) – that the oil within moves about within it. The language of (Genesis 1:16): “that creep on the earth,” which we translate in Aramaic as moves/swarms. But there are those who have the reading that its contents are soft, that is to say, that is kneaded product/dough is soft.

וּמַחֲבַת צָפָה. דִּכְתִיב (שם) עַל מַחֲבַת, מַשְׁמַע עָלֶיהָ וְלֹא בְּתוֹכָהּ, אַלְמָא אֵין לָהּ תּוֹךְ:

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

רעפים (hot tiles) – TULASH in the foreign tongue. Made from earthenware and they heat it in a kiln.

וְיוֹרוֹת הַעַרְבִין. כְּמִין גֻּמָּא הָעֲשׂוּיָה בַּקַּרְקַע וְטוּחָה בְּטִיט, וּמַסִּיקִין אֵשׁ בְּתוֹכָהּ עַד שֶׁתִּתְלַבֵּן, וְאוֹפִים בָּהּ עִסָּה:

אִם רָצָה יָבִיא מַעֲשֵׂה כֻפָּח. דְּכֻפָּח מִין תַּנּוּר הוּא. וְאֵין הֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי יְהוּדָה:

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

אם רצה יביא מעשה כופח – for the brazier is a small stove, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.

מנחת מאפה – it is written regarding it loaves and wafers (see Tractate Menahot, Chapter 6, Mishnah 5).

לֹא יָבִיא מֶחֱצָה חַלּוֹת. דְּכָל מְנָחוֹת בָּאוֹת עֶשֶׂר עֶשֶׂר, וְזֶה לֹא יָבִיא חָמֵשׁ חַלּוֹת וְחָמֵשׁ רְקִיקִין, אֶלָּא אוֹ הַכֹּל חַלּוֹת אוֹ הַכֹּל רְקִיקִין:

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

לא יביא מחצה חלות – for all the meal-offerings come in groups of ten, and this he should not bring as five loaves and five wafers, but rather either all of them are loaves or all of them are wafers.

מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא קָרְבָּן אֶחָד. שֶׁשְּׁנֵיהֶם כְּתוּבִים בְּמִנְחָה אַחַת, הִלְכָּךְ יָכוֹל לְהָבִיא מֶחֱצָה מִמִּין זֶה וּמֶחֱצָה מִמִּין זֶה. וְאֵין הֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן:

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

מפני שהוא קרבן אחד – for both of them are written in one-meal offerings, therefore he is able to bring half of this kind and half of another kind. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.
