מִי שֶׁהָיָה טָמֵא. שֶׁאֵלּוּ פְּטוּרִין מִן הַכָּרֵת. הַטָּמֵא אוֹ שֶׁהָיָה בְדֶרֶךְ רְחוֹקָה פְּטָרָן הַכָּתוּב מִלַּעֲשׂוֹת פֶּסַח רִאשׁוֹן, וְעִקַּר כָּרֵת בְּפֶסַח רִאשׁוֹן הוּא, לְפִיכָךְ אִם לֹא עָשׂוּ פֶסַח שֵׁנִי פְּטוּרִים מִן הַכָּרֵת:

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

מי שהיה טמא. שאלו פטורין מן הכרת – the ritually impure or someone who was on a far-off journey, Scripture had exempted from making the First Passover [offering], and the principle of extirpation is concerning the first Passover. Therefore, if they didn’t make the Second Passover [offering], they are exempt from extirpation.

וְאֵלּוּ חַיָּבִין בְּהִכָּרֵת. הַשּׁוֹגֵג אוֹ הָאָנוּס חַיָּבִין הָיוּ בְּפֶסַח רִאשׁוֹן, אֶלָּא שֶׁהַשְּׁגָגָה וְהָאֹנֶס עִכַּבְתָּן, וּכְשֶׁהֵזִידוּ וְלֹא עָשׂוּ פֶסַח שֵׁנִי חַיָּבִין בְּהִכָּרֵת, כְּדִכְתִיב (במדבר ט) וְהָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר הוּא טָהוֹר וּבְדֶרֶךְ לֹא הָיָה וְחָדַל לַעֲשׂוֹת הַפֶּסַח וְנִכְרְתָה, מַשְׁמַע דְּעַל כָּל שְׁאָר שְׁגָגוֹת וָאֳנָסִין שֶׁאֵרְעוּ בָרִאשׁוֹן חוּץ מִטָּמֵא וְדֶרֶךְ רְחוֹקָה, חַיָּבִין כָּרֵת אִם לֹא עָשׂוּ פֶּסַח שֵׁנִי:

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

ואלו חייבין בהכרת – One who inadvertently errs and doesn’t make [the Passover offering] or had been prevented by an unavoidable accident from making [the offering], they were obligated in the First Passover [offering] but that inadvertent error and the accident prevents them [from doing so], but if they willfully did not offer the Second Passover offering, they are liable to extirpation, as it is written (Numbers 9:13): “But if a man who is clean and not on a journey refrains from offering the Passover sacrifice, that person shall be cut off from his kin, [for he did not present the LORD’s offering at its set time; that man shall bear his guilt],” which implies that for all the rest of the inadvertent errs and unavoidable accidents that occurred with the First [Passover offering] except for becoming defiled and being on a far-off journey are liable for extirpation if they did not make the Second Passover [offering].

מִן הַמּוֹדִעִית. שֵׁם מָקוֹם רָחוֹק מִיְרוּשָׁלַיִם מַהֲלַךְ חֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר מִילִין, וְהוּא שִׁעוּר מַהֲלַךְ אָדָם בֵּינוֹנִי בִּימֵי נִיסָן וִימֵי תִשְׁרֵי, שֶׁהַיָּמִים וְהַלֵּילוֹת שָׁוִים, מֵהָנֵץ הַחַמָּה עַד בֵּין הָעַרְבַּיִם, שֶׁהוּא שְׁעַת הַקְרָבַת הַקָּרְבָּן:

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

מן המודעית – the name of a place a distance of fifteen miles from Jerusalem, which is the measure of a walk of an average person during the days of Nisan and Tishrei when the days and nights are equal [in length] from sunrise until twilight, which the hour of the offering of the [Passover] Sacrifice.

חוּץ לְאַסְקֻפַּת הָעֲזָרָה. אֲפִלּוּ הָיָה קָרוֹב לִירוּשָׁלַיִם וְחָלָה וְנִתְעַכֵּב וְלֹא הִגִּיעַ לְאַסְקֻפַּת הָעֲזָרָה עַד סוֹף שְׁעַת הַקְרָבַת הַקָּרְבָּן, נִדּוֹן בְּדִין דֶּרֶךְ רְחוֹקָה. וְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא סוֹבֵר שֶׁאֵין לוֹ אֶלָּא דִּין נֶאֱנַס, אֲבָל לֹא דִּין דֶּרֶךְ רְחוֹקָה, הוֹאִיל וְהָיָה מִן הַמּוֹדִעִית וְלִפְנִים. וַהֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא:

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

חוץ לאסקופת העזרה – even if he was close to Jerusalem and got sick and was delayed and did not arrive to the lintel of the courtyard until the end of the hour of the offering of the [Passover] sacrifice, is judged with the law of “on a far-off journey, for he was from inside from Mudait. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Akiva.

לְפִיכָךְ נָקוּד עַל ה'. שֶׁל רְחוֹקָה. אֲנִי שָׁמַעְתִּי לִדְרֹשׁ, רָחוֹק חָמֵשׁ אַמּוֹת מֵאַסְקֻפַּת הָעֲזָרָה, שֶׁאֲפִלּוּ אֵינוֹ רָחוֹק אֶלָּא חָמֵשׁ אַמּוֹת בִּלְבַד בְּסוֹף שְׁעַת [הַקְרָבַת] הַקָּרְבָּן, נִדּוֹן בְּדִין דֶּרֶךְ רְחוֹקָה:

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

לפיכך נקוד על ה' – [of the word] "רחוקה"/”far-off”. I heard to explain that he was distant five cubits from the lintel of the courtyard, for even if he had not been distance other than only five cubits at the end of the hour [of the offering] of the [Passover] sacrifice, he is judged with the law of “on a far-off journey.”

וְהַשֵּׁנִי חָמֵץ וּמַצָּה עִמּוֹ בַּבָיִת. דִּכְתִיב (במדבר ט) כְּכָל חֻקַּת הַפֶּסַח יַעֲשׂוּ אֹתוֹ, מַשְׁמַע מִצְווֹת שֶׁבְּגוּפוֹ, כְּגוֹן צָלִי וְעַל מַצּוֹת וּמְרוֹרִים יֹאכְלֻהוּ, עוֹשִׂין אוֹתוֹ כְּכָל חֻקַּת הַפֶּסַח, אֲבָל מִצְווֹת שֶׁעַל גּוּפוֹ מִמָּקוֹם אַחֵר, כְּגוֹן תַּשְׁבִּיתוּ שְׂאֹר וְלֹא תִשְׁחַט עַל חָמֵץ, אֵין עוֹשִׂין אוֹתוֹ כְּכָל חֻקַּת הַפֶּסַח:

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

והשני חמץ ומצה עמו בבית – As it is written (Numbers 9:12): “…They shall offer it in strict accord with the law of the Passover sacrifice.” It implies that the commandments on his body, such as “roasted” and that “they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs” (verse 11), we perform them in strict accord with the law of the Passover [sacrifice], but commandments that are upon his body from another place such as getting rid of leaven and that the Passover [sacrifice] should not be slaughtered with leaven, we do not do this in strict accord with the law of the Passover [sacrifice].

הָרִאשׁוֹן טָעוּן הַלֵּל בַּאֲכִילָתוֹ וְכוּ'. דִּכְתִיב (ישעיה ל) הַשִּׁיר יִהְיֶה לָכֶם כְּלֵיל הִתְקַדֶּשׁ חָג, לַיִל הַמְקֻדָּשׁ לְחַג שֶׁהוּא פֶסַח רִאשׁוֹן טָעוּן הַלֵּל, וְשֶׁאֵינוֹ מְקֻדָּשׁ לְחַג אֵינוֹ טָעוּן הַלֵּל:

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

הראשון טעון הלל באכילתו וכו' – as it is written (Isaiah 30:29): “For you, there shall be singing as on a night when a festival is hallowed;…” The night which is sanctified for the holiday is the First Passover which requires [the recitation of] Hallel, and that which is not sanctified as a holiday does not require [the recitation of] Hallel.

זֶה וָזֶה טְעוּנִים הַלֵּל בַּעֲשִׂיָּתָן. דְּלַיְלָה מִעֵט קְרָא מִשִּׁיר, יוֹם לֹא מִעֵט:

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

זה וזה טעונים הלל בעשייתן – for “night” was excluded from the word, “singing,” but “day” is not excluded.

לֹא יֹאכְלוּ מִמֶּנּוּ זָבִין. דְּגַבֵּי טָמֵא לָנֶפֶשׁ כְּתִיב אִישׁ, דְּדָרְשִׁינַן מִנֵּיהּ אִישׁ נִדְחֶה וְאֵין צִבּוּר נִדְחִין, (אבל גבי זיבה, אף צבור נדחין):

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

לא יאכלו ממנו זבין – for concerning someone who is defiled by reason of a corpse, it is written (Numbers 9:10): "איש כי יהיה טמא לנפש" /”you...who are defiled by a corpse,” and we interpret from it – that an individual (if unclean on Passover) is suspended (i.e., postpones the celebration) until the Second Passover, but not the community (see Talmud Pesahim 66b) (but concerning a woman suffering from gonorrhea, even the community postpones)

וְאִם אָכְלוּ פְּטוּרִים מִכָּרֵת. דְּאוֹכֵל קָדָשִׁים בְּטֻמְאַת הַגּוּף, דִּכְתִיב (ויקרא ז) כָּל טָהוֹר יֹאכַל בָּשָׂר, וּסְמִיךְ לֵיהּ וְהַנֶּפֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר תֹּאכַל בָּשָׂר כוּ'‏ וְטֻמְאָתוֹ עָלָיו וְנִכְרְתָה, בָּשָׂר הַנֶּאֱכָל לַטְּהוֹרִים, טְמֵאִים חַיָּבִין עָלָיו מִשּׁוּם טֻמְאָה, וְשֶׁאֵינוֹ נֶאֱכָל לַטְּהוֹרִים, כְּגוֹן פֶּסַח הַבָּא בְטֻמְאָה, אֵין טְמֵאִין חַיָּבִין עָלָיו מִשּׁוּם טֻמְאָה:

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

ואם אכלו פטורים מכרת – for a person who eats holy things while his body is impure, as it is written (Leviticus 7:19): “Only he who is clean may eat such flesh.” And near it (verse 20): “But a person who, in a state of uncleanness, eats flesh from the LORD’s sacrifices of well-being, that person shall be cut off from his kin,” meat that is eaten by those who are pure; those who are unclean are liable because of their uncleanness, and is not eaten by the clean, such as the Passover sacrifice that comes with uncleanness, the impure are liable for it because of their uncleanness.

אַף עַל בִּיאַת מִקְדָּשׁ. פּוֹטֵר הַזָּבִין וְהַזָּבוֹת, אִם נִכְנְסוּ לַמִּקְדָּשׁ פְּטוּרִים כְּשֶׁהַפֶּסַח נִדְחֶה מִפְּנֵי הַטֻּמְאָה, דִּכְתִיב (במדבר ה) וִישַׁלְּחוּ מִן הַמַּחֲנֶה כָּל צָרוּעַ וְכָל זָב וְכֹל טָמֵא לָנָפֶשׁ, בִּזְמַן שֶׁטְּמֵאֵי מֵתִים מִשְׁתַּלְּחִין, זָבִין וּמְצֹרָעִים מִשְׁתַּלְּחִין, אֵין טְמֵאֵי מֵתִים מִשְׁתַּלְּחִין, אֵין זָבִין וּמְצֹרָעִים מִשְׁתַּלְּחִין. וְתַנָּא קַמָּא לֹא דָרֵישׁ לִקְרָא לְהָכִי, דְּכֻלְּהוּ אִצְטְרִיכוּ לְחַלְּקָם מִמַּחֲנוֹתֵיהֶם. וְאֵין הֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר:

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

אף על ביאת מקדש – it exempts the men and women afflicted with gonorrhea if they entered in the Temple pure, and the Passover offering is suspended/postponed, because of the uncleanness, as it is written (Numbers 5:2): “[Instruct the Israelites] to remove from camp anyone with an eruption or a discharge and anyone defiled by a corpse.” At the time that those who are defiled by a corpse are sent out, those suffering with gonorrhea and lepers are sent out; if those who are defiled by a corpse are not sent out, those suffering with gonorrhea and lepers are not sent out. And the first Tanna does not explain the verse in this manner, since all of them need their portions from their gifts. And the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Eliezer.

לַיְלָה אֶחָד, וּפֶסַח דּוֹרוֹת נוֹהֵג כָּל שִׁבְעָה. מַתְנִיתִין חַסּוֹרֵי מִחַסְּרָא וְהָכִי קָתָנֵי, וְנֶאֱכָל בְּחִפָּזוֹן בְּלַיְלָה אֶחָד, וְחִמּוּצוֹ כָּל הַיּוֹם, וּפֶסַח דּוֹרוֹת חִמּוּצוֹ נוֹהֵג כָּל שִׁבְעָה. דִּבְפֶסַח מִצְרַיִם כְּתִיב (שמות יג) וְלֹא יֵאָכֵל חָמֵץ הַיּוֹם אַתֶּם יֹצְאִים, קָרֵי בֵיהּ וְלֹא יֵאָכֵל חָמֵץ הַיּוֹם שֶׁאַתֶּם יוֹצְאִים בִּלְבַד:

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

לילה אחד. ופסח דורות נוהג כל שבעה – Our Mishnah is deficient and it should be read as follows: and it is eaten in haste in one night and its fermentation/leavening all day, but the Passover for all generations its fermentation/leavening is for all seven days, for in the Passover of Egypt, it is written (Leviticus 13:3-4): “No leavened bread shall be eaten. You go free on this day [in the month of Abib],” we call it that he should not eat leavened products only on the day when you leave Egypt.

שָׁמַעְתִּי. מֵרַבּוֹתַי:

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

שמעתי – from my teachers.

שֶׁתְּמוּרַת הַפֶּסַח קְרֵבָה. שְׁלָמִים אַחַר הַפֶּסַח:

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

שתמורת הפסח, קריבה – peace-offerings after the Passover [offering].

וּתְמוּרַת הַפֶּסַח אֵינָהּ קְרֵבָה. וְיֵשׁ תְּמוּרַת פֶּסַח שֶׁאֵינָהּ קְרֵבָה הִיא עַצְמָהּ שְׁלָמִים, אֶלָּא תִרְעֶה עַד שֶׁיִּפֹּל בָּהּ מוּם וְתִמָּכֵר וְיָבִיא בְדָמֶיהָ שְׁלָמִים, דְּמוֹתַר הַפֶּסַח קָרֵב שְׁלָמִים:

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

ותמורת הפסח אינה קריבה – and there is a substitute [for an animal set aside] for the Passover which is not offered, that itself is a peace-offering, but it should pasture until a blemish falls upon it and it is sold and he purchases peace offerings with the money received for it, for the left-overs from the Passover sacrifice are sacrificed as peace-offerings.

וְאֵין לִי לְפָרֵשׁ. שָׁכַחְתִּי עַל אֵיזוֹ שָׁמַעְתִּי תִּקְרַב, וְעַל אֵיזוֹ תִּרְעֶה עַד שֶׁתִּסְתָּאֵב:

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

ואין לי לפרש – I have forgotten on which one I had heard and should be offered and which one shojld be up out to pasture until it becomes unfit for pasture.

הַפֶּסַח. שֶׁאָבַד וְהִפְרִישׁ אַחֵר תַּחְתָּיו וְנִמְצָא פֶסַח רִאשׁוֹן קֹדֶם שְׁחִיטַת הַשֵּׁנִי, שֶׁהָיָה עוֹמֵד לְפָנֵינוּ בִּשְׁעַת שְׁחִיטָה, הֲרֵי קְבָעַתּוּ שְׁעַת שְׁחִיטָה בְּשֵׁם פֶּסַח, וְזֶה שֶׁלֹּא הִקְרִיבוֹ דָּחָהוּ בְיָדַיִם וְלֹא יִקְרַב הוּא עַצְמוֹ שְׁלָמִים:

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

הפסח – that became lost and he set aside another in its place, and it is found that the First Passover offering comes before the slaughter of the second, that it stood before us at the time of the slaughter, for I have established it at the time of the slaughter for the sake of the Passover offering, and that which which was not offered was pushed away by his hands and it itself is not offered as a peace-offering.

עַד שֶׁיִּסְתָּאֵב. שֶׁיִּפֹּל בּוֹ מוּם, שֶׁלֹּא יִהְיֶה רָאוּי לְקָרְבָּן:

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

עד שיסתאב – that a defect will fall upon it and it will not be fit for a sacrifice.

וְכֵן תְּמוּרָתוֹ. אִם הֵמִיר בּוֹ בֶּהֱמַת חֻלִּין אַחֲרֵי כֵן:

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

וכן תמורתו – if he substituted for it a non-sacred animal afterwards.

לְאַחַר הַפֶּסַח. כְּלוֹמַר וְאִם לְאַחַר שְׁחִיטַת הַשֵּׁנִי נִמְצָא, הֲרֵי לֹא קְבָעַתּוּ שְׁעַת שְׁחִיטָה בְּשֵׁם פֶּסַח, וְלֹא נִדְחָה בְיָדַיִם, וְיִקְרַב הוּא עַצְמוֹ שְׁלָמִים:

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

לאחר הפסח – that is to say, if after the slaughter of the second is found, for they did not establish the time for slaughter in the name of the Passover offering, and was not pushed aside by hands, and he offered it himself up as a peace offering.

וְכֵן תְּמוּרָתוֹ. וְהוּא הַדִּין דְּמָצֵי רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ לְמִתְנֵי בַּפֶּסַח עַצְמוֹ, יֵשׁ פֶּסַח קָרֵב וְיֵשׁ פֶּסַח שֶׁאֵינוֹ קָרֵב:

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

וכן תמורתו – and the same law applies when Rabbi Yehoshua wants to teach about the Passover sacrifice itself, there is a Passover offering that is made and there is a Passover offering that is not made.

וְיִפְּלוּ דָמָיו לִנְדָבָה. נוֹתְנִים אוֹתָן הַמָּעוֹת לַתֵּבָה שֶׁבַּמִּקְדָּשׁ וּמַקְרִיבִין מֵהֶן עוֹלוֹת נְדָבָה:

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

ויפלו דמיו לנדבה – we give those monies into a box that is the Temple and offer from them voluntary burnt-offerings.

לֹא יְבִיאֶנּוּ בְנוֹ אַחֲרָיו לְשֵׁם פֶּסַח. דַּהֲוָה לֵיהּ פֶּסַח שֶׁמֵּתוּ בְעָלָיו וְאֵין כָּאן מְנוּיִין:

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

לא יביאנו בנו אחריו לשם בפסח – for it is a Passover sacrifice whose owners died and there isn’t here any appointment to office/ordinations.

הַפֶּסַח שֶׁנִּתְעָרֵב. שְׁלֹשָׁה טְלָאִים, אֶחָד שֶׁל פֶּסַח וְאֶחָד שֶׁל אָשָׁם וְאֶחָד שֶׁל עוֹלָה, שֶׁנִּתְעָרְבוּ. כֻּלָּן יִרְעוּ עַד שֶׁיִּסְתָּאֲבוּ:

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

הפסח שנתערב – three lambs, one of the Passover offering, one of a guilt-offering and one of a burnt offering, that were confused, all of them should be sent out to pasture until they suffer a blemish.

וְיָבִיא בִדְמֵי הַיָּפֶה שֶׁבָּהֶן. עוֹלָה, דְּשֶׁמָּא הַיָּפֶה עוֹלָה הָיָה. וּבִדְמֵי הַיָּפֶה שֶׁבָּהֶן אָשָׁם, דְּשֶׁמָּא הַיָּפֶה אָשָׁם הָיָה. וּבִדְמֵי הַיָּפֶה שֶׁבָּהֶן פֶּסַח, אִם קֹדֶם הַפֶּסַח נִסְתָּאֲבוּ כֻלָּן, וְאִם לְאַחַר הַפֶּסַח נִסְתָּאֲבוּ יְבִיאֵם לִשְׁלָמִים, דְּשֶׁמָּא הַיָּפֶה פֶּסַח הָיָה. וְאוֹתוֹ מוֹתָר שֶׁצָּרִיךְ לְהוֹסִיף עַל הַשֵּׁנִי עַד שֶׁיַּגִּיעוּ לִדְמֵי הַיָּפֶה, יַפְסִיד מִשֶּׁלּוֹ. וְכֵיצַד עוֹשֶׂה, אִם הַיָּפֶה שֶׁבָּהֶן שָׁוֶה סֶלַע, מֵבִיא שָׁלֹשׁ סְלָעִים מִבֵּיתוֹ, וְנוֹטֵל הַסֶּלַע הָאַחַת וְאוֹמֵר, כָּל מָקוֹם שֶׁהִיא הָעוֹלָה הֲרֵי הִיא מְחֻלֶּלֶת עַל סֶלַע זוֹ, וְיָבִיא מִמֶּנָּהּ עוֹלָה. וְנוֹטֵל הַסֶּלַע הַשְּׁנִיָּה וְאוֹמֵר, כָּל מָקוֹם שֶׁהוּא אָשָׁם הֲרֵי הוּא מְחֻלָּל עַל סֶלַע זוֹ, וְיָבִיא בּוֹ אָשָׁם. וְכֵן לִשְׁלָמִים:

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

ויביא בדמי היפה שבהן – a burnt offering since perhaps the burnt offering was the best [of them]. And with the money from the best of them is a guilt offering for perhaps the best [of them] was a guilt offering, and with the money of the best of them was a Passover offering, if the Passover offering was first, all of them are to be set out to pasture, but if after the Passover offering they were set out to practice, he should bring them (i.e., the replacement lambs) for peace offerings since it is possible that the best of them was the Passover offering. And that difference in cost that it is necessary to add on to the other two until they reach the price of the best, he loses from his own [funds]. And how does he do it? If the best of them (i.e., of the three) was worth a Sela, he brings three Sela from his home (i.e., his own pocket) and takes the one Sela and says: In every place where it is a burnt offering, it is redeemed with by this Sela, and he brings from it a burnt offering. And he takes the second Sela and says: Every place where it is a guilt offering, it is redeemed by this Sela, and he brings this guilt offering for it, and similarly for the peace offering.

נִתְעָרֵב הַפֶּסַח בִּבְכוֹרוֹת. שֶׁמַּתַּן דָּמָם וְדַם הַפֶּסַח שָׁוֶה:

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

נתערב הפסח בכבורות – for the giving of them worth (i.e. for firstlings) and the worth of the Passover offering are similar.

רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר אִם חֲבוּרַת כֹּהֲנִים יֹאכֵלוּ. כֻּלָּן בּוֹ בַלַּיְלָה, שֶׁהַבְּכוֹר נֶאֱכָל לַכֹּהֲנִים. וְיִקְרַב פֶּסַח לְשֵׁם פֶּסַח בְּכָל מָקוֹם שֶׁהוּא, וּבְכוֹרוֹת לְשֵׁם בְּכוֹרוֹת בְּכָל מָקוֹם שֶׁהֵן, וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהֵן מְמַעֲטִין בִּזְמַן אֲכִילַת הַבְּכוֹר, שֶׁהַבְּכוֹר נֶאֱכָל לִשְׁנֵי יָמִים וְלַיְלָה אֶחָד, וְעַכְשָׁיו אֵין אוֹכְלִין אוֹתוֹ אֶלָּא עַד חֲצוֹת כִּזְמַן הַפֶּסַח, וְנִמְצְאוּ מְבִיאִין קָדָשִׁים לְבֵית הַפְּסוּל, רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן סָבַר שֶׁיְּכוֹלִין לְהָבִיא קָדָשִׁים לְבֵית הַפְּסוּל. וְרַבָּנָן פְּלִיגֵי עֲלֵיהּ וְאָמְרֵי יִרְעוּ כֻלָּן עַד שֶׁיִּסְתָּאֲבוּ, וְיָבִיא מָעוֹת בִּדְמֵי הַיָּפֶה שֶׁבָּהֶן, כִּדְאָמְרָן בְּפֶסַח שֶׁנִּתְעָרֵב בִּזְבָחִים. וְאֵין הֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן:

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

ר' שמעון אומר אם חבורת כהנים יאכלו – all of them at that evening, for the firstlings are fed to the Priests. And he should offer the Passover offering for the sake of the Passover in every place where he is, and the offering of the Firstlings, in every place where they are at, and even though they are lessened at the time of the consumption of the firstling, for the firstling is eaten for two days and one night and now, we don’t eat it other than until midnight like the time [for the eating] of the Passover offering, and it is found that they would bring holy things into a house of impurity; Rabbi Shimon holds that one can bring holy things to the house of impurity; but the Rabbis dispute this and say that they should all be sent out to pasture until they become unclean and he should bring the money from the cost of the best of them as we have mentioned concerning the Passover offering that was mixed with the animal offerings. And the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.

צֵא וּבַקֵּשׁ. אֶת הָאָבוּד וּשְׁחֹט עָלֵינוּ:

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

צא ובקש – that which was lost and slaughter it for us.

אִם שֶׁלּוֹ נִשְׁחַט רִאשׁוֹן. הוֹאִיל וְהֵם אָמְרוּ לוֹ שְׁחֹט עָלֵינוּ, עַל שֶׁלּוֹ הֵם נִמְנִים וְשֶׁלָּהֶם יִשָּׂרֵף, דְּפֶסַח בְּלֹא בְעָלִים הוּא, וְאוֹכְלִין כֻּלָּם מִשֶּׁלּוֹ:

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

אם שלו נשחט ראשון – since for they said to him: “slaughter for us,” upon his they are counted/registered and theirs should be burned, for it is a Passover offering without owners and everyone eats from his (i.e., the individual’s).

וְאִם שֶׁלָּהֶן נִשְׁחַט רִאשׁוֹן. הוּא אוֹכֵל מִשֶּׁלּוֹ, שֶׁהֲרֵי לֹא נִמְנָה עַל שֶׁלָּהֶן. וְהֵן אוֹכְלִין מִשֶּׁלָּהֶן, שֶׁהֲרֵי חָזְרוּ בָהֶן מִן הָאָבוּד וּמָשְׁכוּ יְדֵיהֶן מִמֶּנּוּ:

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

ואם שלהן נשחט ראשון – he (i.e., the individual) eats from his own, for he was not counted/registered on theirs , and they eat from their own, for they retracted themselves from the lost [Passover] offering and they had withdrawn their hands from it.

וְהֵן אֵינָן אוֹכְלִין עִמּוֹ. שֶׁמָּא שֶׁלָּהֶן נִשְׁחַט רִאשׁוֹן וּמָשְׁכוּ יְדֵיהֶן מִזֶּה:

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

והן אינן אוכלין עמו – for perhaps theirs was slaughter first and they withdrew their hands from this one.

וְשֶׁלָּהֶן יֵצֵא לְבֵית הַשְּׂרֵפָה. שֶׁמָּא שֶׁלּוֹ נִשְׁחַט רִאשׁוֹן, וְאֵין נִמְנִין עַל הַשֵּׁנִי:

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

ושלהן יצא לבית השריפה – for perhaps his was slaughter first and they were not counted/registered on the second [one].

וּפְטוּרִין מִפֶּסַח שֵׁנִי. דְּמִמַּה נַּפְשָׁךְ בָּרִאשׁוֹן נִמְנוּ, וַאֲכִילָה לֹא מְעַכֶּבֶת:

ופטורין מפסח שני – for whichever way you turn, they were counted with the first, and the eating [of it] is not indispensable.

אָמַר לָהֶן. אוֹתוֹ הַיָּחִיד שֶׁהָלַךְ לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת הָאָבוּד, אִם אֵחַרְתִּי תְּמַנּוּנִי עִמָּכֶם וְשַׁחֲטוּ עָלַי. וְהֵם לֹא אָמְרוּ לוֹ שְׁחֹט עָלֵינוּ:

אמר להן – that individual who went to search out the lost [Passover sacrifice], if I was late, count me/register me with you and slaughter it on my behalf. And they did not say to him, slaughter it for us.

הוּא אוֹכֵל עִמָּהֶן. וְשֶׁלּוֹ יִשָּׂרֵף, כֵּיוָן שֶׁהִמְנוּהוּ עַל שֶׁלָּהֶן הֲרֵי נִמְשַׁךְ מִן הָרִאשׁוֹן וְחָזַר בּוֹ מִשְּׁלִיחוּתוֹ:

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

הוא אוכל עמהן – and his [sacrifice] is burnt, since he was counted/registered with theirs, for he was withdrawn from the first and he retracted from his agency.

וְשֶׁלּוֹ יֵצֵא לְבֵית הַשְּׂרֵפָה. שֶׁמָּא שֶׁלָּהֶן נִשְׁחַט רִאשׁוֹן וְנִמְשַׁךְ [מִשֶּׁלּוֹ, שֶׁהֲרֵי] עֲשָׂאָן שְׁלוּחִין:

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

ושלו יצא לבית השריפה – perhaps theirs was slaughtered first and he was withdrawn [from his own for they] were made agents [for him].

וּפָטוּר מִפֶּסַח שֵׁנִי. דְּמִמַּה נַּפְשָׁךְ בָּרִאשׁוֹן נִמְנָה, וַאֲכִילָה לֹא מְעַכֶּבֶת:

יֹאכְלוּ כֻלָּם מִן הָרִאשׁוֹן. דְּהוּא שְׁלוּחָם וְהֵם שְׁלוּחָיו:

יאכלו כולם מן הראשון – and he is their agent and they are his agents.

וְאִם אֵין יָדוּעַ אֵיזֶה רִאשׁוֹן שְׁנֵיהֶם יִשָּׂרְפוּ. וּפְטוּרִים מִפֶּסַח שֵׁנִי:

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

ואם אין ידוע איזה ראשון שניהם ישרפו – and they are exempt from the Second Passover [offering].

אֵינָן חַיָּבִין בְּאַחֲרָיוּת זֶה לָזֶה. אֵין לָהֶם טַעֲנָה זֶה עַל זֶה. אֵין חוֹשְׁשִׁין אֵיזֶה רִאשׁוֹן, אֶלָּא הוּא אוֹכֵל מִשֶּׁלּוֹ, וְהֵן אוֹכְלִין מִשֶּׁלָּהֶן:

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

אינן חייבין באחריות זה לזה – they have claim on each other, and we should not worry which was first, but he eats from his own and they eat from their own.

אֵלּוּ מוֹשְׁכִין לָהֶם אֶחָד. מִן הַפְּסָחִים. וְאֵלּוּ מוֹשְׁכִין לָהֶם אֶחָד:

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

אלו מושכין להם אחד – of the Passover offerings. And these seize for themselves one [of the offerings].

אֶחָד. מִבְּנֵי חֲבוּרָה זוֹ בָּא לוֹ אֵצֶל בְּנֵי חֲבוּרָה זוֹ, וְאֶחָד מִזּוֹ בָּא לוֹ אֵצֶל זוֹ:

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

אחד – [one person] from the members of this group comes near the members of the other group, and one [person] from that [group] comes near this [group].

וְכָךְ הֵם אוֹמְרִים. לְאוֹתוֹ יָחִיד הַבָּא אֶצְלָם:

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

וכך הם אומרים – to that individual who comes near them.

אִם שֶׁלָּנוּ הוּא. אוֹתוֹ הַפֶּסַח שֶׁמָּשַׁכְנוּ אֵלֵינוּ, יָפֶה בָרַרְנוּ אֶת שֶׁלָּנוּ, הַמְשֵׁךְ יָדְךָ מִשֶּׁלְּךָ וְהִמָּנֵה עִמָּנוּ עַל שֶׁלָּנוּ:

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

אם שלנו הוא – that Passover offering that we seized for us, we have ascertained well that it is ours. Withdraw your hand from yours and be counted with us on ours.

אִם שֶׁלְּךָ הוּא פֶסַח זֶה. הֲרֵי אַתָּה עָלָיו, וְיָדֵינוּ מְשׁוּכוֹת מִשֶּׁלָּנוּ וִיהֵא לִבְנֵי חֲבוּרָה הָאַחֶרֶת, וְנִמְנִינוּ עַל זֶה שֶׁלְּךָ. נִמְצָא אִם הֶחֱלִיפוּ הֲרֵי נִמְשְׁכוּ כָל הַחֲבוּרָה מִשֶּׁלָּהֶם וְנִמְנוּ עַל אוֹתוֹ שֶׁבֵּרְרוּ. וְכָךְ אוֹמְרִים בְּנֵי חֲבוּרָה הַשְּׁנִיָּה לַיָּחִיד הַבָּא אֶצְלָם. וְעַל כָּרְחָם צָרִיךְ אֶחָד מֵאֵלּוּ לָבֹא אֵצֶל אֵלּוּ וְלִמָּנוֹת עִמָּהֶן, וְלֹא אָמְרִינַן יִמְשְׁכוּ אֵלּוּ מִשֶּׁלָּהֶן בְּכָל מָקוֹם שֶׁהוּא וְאֵלּוּ מִשֶּׁלָּהֶן וְיַחְזְרוּ וְיִמָּנוּ אֵלּוּ עַל אֶחָד וְאֵלּוּ עַל אֶחָד, מִשּׁוּם דְּאָמְרִינַן בַּבְּרַיְתָא בַגְּמָרָא דְּאָסוּר לִמָּשֵׁךְ כָּל בְּנֵי הַחֲבוּרָה מִן הַפֶּסַח וּלְהַנִּיחוֹ בְּלֹא בְעָלִים, וְשֶׁמָּא הֶחֱלִיפוּ וְרוֹצִים לִמְשֹׁךְ מִפִּסְחָם וְלִמָּנוֹת עַל אַחֵר, כְּשֶׁאָמְרוּ הֲרֵי יָדֵינוּ מְשׁוּכוֹת מִשֶּׁלָּנוּ הֲרֵי נוֹתַר פֶּסַח בְּלֹא בְעָלִים מִיָּד, וְזֶה אָסוּר. וְעַכְשָׁיו כְּשֶׁאֶחָד מֵחֲבוּרָה זוֹ בָּא אֵצֶל הָאַחֶרֶת מִמַּה נַּפְשָׁךְ אֵין כָּאן פֶּסַח בְּלֹא בְעָלִים, אִם יָפֶה בֵרְרוּ לָהֶם הֲרֵי כָל בְּנֵי חֲבוּרָתוֹ עָלָיו חוּץ מִן הָאֶחָד שֶׁפֵּרַשׁ מֵהֶן וּמָשַׁךְ יָדוֹ, וְאִם הֶחֱלִיפוּ הֲרֵי הָלַךְ אֶחָד מֵהֶם עִם פִּסְחוֹ, וּכְשֶׁמָּשְׁכוּ הַנּוֹתָרִים יְדֵיהֶם הֵימֶנּוּ, נִשְׁאַר הוּא עָלָיו:

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

אם שלך הוא פסח זה – behold for you are upon it and our hands have withdrawn from ours, and it will be for the people of the other group and we will be accounted on that one which is yours. It is found that if they switched, for the entire group has withdrawn from theirs and are counted on that one that he ascertained. And so the members of the second group say to the individual who comes near them, and by force, one of their [group] has to come near those and to be registered with them, and we don’t say that they should withdraw from their own in every place and those [should withdraw from theirs and they should retract and one group should be registered with one and the other on the other. Because we say in a Baraita in the Gemara (Pesahim 99a) that it is forbidden to have all the members of the group to withdraw their hands from the Passover offering and to leave it without owners, for perhaps they switched and want to withdraw from their Passover offering and be registered to the other, for when they said: behold our hands have withdrawn from ours, there remains a Passover offering without owners immediately, and this is prohibited. And now that one of this group comes near the other group, whichever way you turn that there isn’t here a Passover offering without owners, and if they verified for themselves well, behold, all the members of his group are upon it, except for the one who separated himself from them and withdrew his hand. And if they switched, one of them went with his Passover sacrifice, and when the remainder withdrew their hands from it, he remained upon it.

וְכֵן חָמֵשׁ חֲבוּרוֹת שֶׁל חֲמִשָּׁה חֲמִשָּׁה. בְּנֵי אָדָם, שֶׁנִּתְעָרְבוּ פִסְחֵיהֶן. כָּל חֲבוּרָה וַחֲבוּרָה מוֹשְׁכִין לָהֶם אֶחָד מִן הַפְּסָחִים, וַחֲמִשָּׁה אֲנָשִׁים שֶׁבְּכָל חֲבוּרָה וַחֲבוּרָה מִתְחַלְּקִין [לַחֲמִשָּׁה] פְסָחִים, שֶׁאִם הֶחֱלִיפוּ לֹא יְהֵא כָאן פֶּסַח, שֶׁאֵין אֶחָד מִבְּעָלָיו הָרִאשׁוֹנִים עָלָיו:

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

וכן חמש חבורות של חמשה חמשה – [five] people, whose Passover offerings became confused, each and every group withdraws from one of the Passover offerings and five people that are in each and every group divide themselves [among the five] Passover offerings. But if they switched, there will not be here a Passover offering that lacks one of its original owners upon it.

וְכָךְ הֵם אוֹמְרִים. כְּשֶׁנַּעֲשׂוּ עַתָּה הַחֲבוּרוֹת הַחֲדָשִׁים אוֹמְרִים הָאַרְבָּעָה לָאֶחָד, אִם שֶׁלְּךָ הוּא פֶסַח זֶה הֲרֵי יָדֵינוּ אַרְבַּעְתֵּנוּ מְסֻלָּקוֹת מֵאַרְבָּעָה פְסָחֵינוּ בְּכָל מָקוֹם שֶׁהֵם וְנִמְנִינוּ עִמָּךְ, וְכֵן הוּא וּשְׁלֹשָׁה חוֹזְרִין וְאוֹמְרִין לַשֵּׁנִי, וְכֵן הָאַרְבָּעָה לְכָל אֶחָד שֶׁבַּחֲבוּרָה. וְכָל חֲבוּרָה וַחֲבוּרָה כֵּן:

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

וכך הם אומרים – When they now became new groups, the four say to the one: If this Passover offering is yours, our hands of the four [groups] of us are removed from our Passover offerings in every place that they are and we are accounted with you. Ands similarly, the three say to the two, and similarly, the four to each one of the groups, and similarly for each and every group.

שְׁנַיִם שֶׁנִּתְעָרְבוּ פִסְחֵיהֶן. רְאוּבֵן וְשִׁמְעוֹן שֶׁנִּתְעָרְבוּ פִסְחֵיהֶן, רְאוּבֵן מוֹשֵׁךְ לוֹ אֶחָד וְשִׁמְעוֹן מוֹשֵׁךְ לוֹ אֶחָד. רְאוּבֵן הוֹלֵךְ וּמַמְנֶה עִמּוֹ אֶחָד מִן הַשּׁוּק, וְאוֹמֵר כָּל מָקוֹם שֶׁהוּא פֶסַח שֶׁלִּי הֲרֵי אַתָּה נִמְנֶה עָלָיו, וּרְאוּבֵן בָּא לוֹ אֵצֶל פֶּסַח שֶׁמָּשַׁךְ לוֹ שִׁמְעוֹן, וְשִׁמְעוֹן בָּא לוֹ אֵצֶל פֶּסַח שֶׁמָּשַׁךְ לוֹ רְאוּבֵן, וְכָךְ אוֹמֵר לוֹ רְאוּבֵן לִיהוּדָה הַנִּשְׁאָר עַל פֶּסַח שֶׁמָּשַׁךְ לוֹ שִׁמְעוֹן, אִם שֶׁלְּךָ הוּא פֶסַח זֶה, שֶׁיָּפֶה בֵּרֵר לוֹ שִׁמְעוֹן תְּחִלָּה, הֲרֵי יָדַי מְשׁוּכוֹת מִשֶּׁלִּי וַהֲרֵינִי נִמְנֶה עִמְּךָ עַל זֶה, וְאִם שֶׁלִּי הוּא פֶסַח זֶה, שֶׁלֹּא כִוַּנְתִּי מִתְּחִלָּה לִבְרֹר יָפֶה וְאֵין זֶה פֶסַח שֶׁנִּמְנֵיתָ עָלָיו עִם שִׁמְעוֹן, הֲרֵי יָדֶיךָ מְסֻלָּקוֹת מִשֶּׁלְּךָ, וְהִמָּנֵה עִמִּי עַל זֶה. וּלְכָךְ הֻצְרַךְ כָּל אֶחָד לְהַמְנוֹת עִמּוֹ אֶחָד מִן הַשּׁוּק, שֶׁאִם בָּאוּ לְהַתְנוֹת כְּשֶׁהֵן יְחִידִים וְלוֹמַר אִם שֶׁלִּי הוּא פֶסַח זֶה וְשֶׁלְּךָ שֶׁלְּךָ הֲרֵי יָפֶה בָרַרְנוּ, וְאִם לָאו הֲרֵי אֲנִי מוֹשֵׁךְ יָדִי מִשֶּׁלִּי וְנִמְנֶה עַל שֶׁלְּךָ. נִמְצָא כְשֶׁהוּא מוֹשֵׁךְ מִשֶּׁלּוֹ הֲרֵי הוּא מַנִּיחַ אֶת פִּסְחוֹ בְּלֹא בְעָלִים, שֶׁעֲדַיִן לֹא נִמְנָה עָלָיו אַחֵר, וְהָא לֵיכָּא לְמֵימַר שֶׁיִּמָּנֶה כָל אֶחָד עַל שֶׁל חֲבֵרוֹ קֹדֶם שֶׁיִּמְשֹׁךְ יָדוֹ מִשֶּׁלּוֹ, דְּאֵין נִמְנִין עַל שְׁנֵי פְסָחִים כְּאֶחָד, וְאֵין זֶה מְנוּיָיו:

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

שנים שנתערבו פסחיהן – Reuven and Shimon whose Passover offerings became confused, Reuven draws to himself one and Shimon draws to himself another. Reuven goes and registered with him one from the marketplace and says, every place which has my Passover offering you are registered with it, and Reuven comes near the Passover offering that Shimon drew near to himself, and Shimon comes near the Passover offering that Reuven has drawn near to him. And so says Reuven to Yehuda who remains with the Passover offering that Shimon had drawn near him. If yours is this Passover offering, for Shimon had ascertained this well at first, my hands will withdraw from mine and I will be registered with you on this. And if mine is this Passover offering, that I did not intend at first to ascertain well and this is not the Passover offering that I was registered with Shimon, your hand is withdrawn from yours, and registered with me on this. And therefore, each group must register with him someone from the marketplace, for if they came to make a condition when they are individuals and to say, if this Passover offering is mine, and yours is yours, we have ascertained well, and if not, I withdraw my hand from mine and will be registered with yours. It is found that he withdraws from his and he leaves aside his Passover offering without owners, for another has not yet registered upon it. And that is not to say that he will register everyone on that of his friend prior to his withdrawing his hand from his own, for one cannot be registered upon two Passover offerings as one, and this is not his appointment.
