וְלִרְפוּאָה. וְשָׁכַח בְּשַׁבָּת לְמַה הִצְנִיעַ, וְהוֹצִיאוֹ סְתָם, חַיָּב עָלָיו בְּכָל שֶׁהוּא, שֶׁעַל דַּעַת הָרִאשׁוֹנָה הוֹצִיאוֹ, וְהָא אַחְשְׁבֵיהּ:

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

ולרפואה – and he forgot on Shabbat why he had stored them away and merely took them out, he is culpable however small the amount, for on the first thought he took it out and considering it.

אֶלָּא כְשִׁעוּרוֹ. כָּל אֶחָד שִׁעוּר הַמְּפֹרָשׁ בּוֹ:

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

על האסקופה – which is a Karmelit such as that it is higher than three [handbreadths] and up to nine [handbreadths] and is wide four [handbreadths].

שֶׁלֹּא עָשָׂה מְלַאכְתּוֹ בְּבַת אֶחָת. לֹא עָשָׂה עֲקִירָה מֵרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד וַהֲנָחָה בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים שֶׁהֵם מְקוֹם חִיּוּב, דְּבַהֲכִי הַוְיָא מְלָאכָה גְּמוּרָה. אֶלָּא עָקַר מִמְּקוֹם חִיּוּב וְהֵנִיחַ בַּכַּרְמְלִית, שֶׁהוּא פָּטוּר בְּאוֹתָהּ הֲנָחָה, וַהֲדַר עָקַר לַהּ מִכַּרְמְלִית שֶׁאֵינוֹ מְקוֹם חִיּוּב וְהֵנִיחַ בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים, וְנִמְצָא שֶׁלֹּא נַעֲשֵׂית עֲקִירָה מִמְּקוֹם חִיּוּב וַהֲנָחָה בִּמְקוֹם חִיּוּב בְּפַעַם אַחַת:

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

שלא עשה מלאכתו בבת אחת – he did not perform an uprooting from the private domain and a placing down in the public domain which is the place of liability for in that, it would be a complete [cycle] of [forbidden] work, but rather, he uprooted from the place of liability and placed it down in a Karmelit, which is exempt in that placing it down, and then went back and uprooted it from the Karmelit which is not a place of liability and placed it in the public domain, and it was found that there was no uprooting done from a place of liability and a placing down in a place of liability at one [and the same] time.

עד שיוציא – that is to say, other than if he removed at first all of the basket and we are not teaching other than regarding a basket filled with cucumbers and gourds which are long and there are yet some of them inside. But if it (i.e., the basket) was filled with mustard of which there are a lot of them and all of them are from the outside, it is made as one who had removed the entire basket and he is liable [a sin-offering].

Runners carry letters and put them in hallowed out wood in the form of reeds and hang them on their necks and it is the manner of that reed to shift around from in front of him to behind him around his neck [and] he knows that eventually it will turn around, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.

הוֹצִיאוּהוּ שְׁנַיִם פְּטוּרִים. כִּדְיָלְפִינַן (ויקרא ד) בַּעֲשׂוֹתָהּ אַחַת מִכָּל מִצְוֹת ה', הָעוֹשֶׂה אֶת כֻּלָּהּ וְלֹא הָעוֹשֶׂה מִקְצָתָהּ:

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

הוציאו שנים פטואים – for we derive it (Leviticus 4:27 - though the exact formulation quoted by the Bartenura commentary does not appear anywhere: "ועשותה אחת [מכל] מצות ה'" – “if any person from among the populace unwittingly incurs guilt by doing any of the things which by the LORD’s commandments [ought not to be done, and he realizes his guilt]”; he who does all of it and not who does part of it.

וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן פּוֹטֵר. דְּסָבַר אֲפִלּוּ כְּשֶׁאֵין יָחִיד יָכֹל לַעֲשׂוֹתָהּ אִם עֲשָׂאוּהָ שְׁנַיִם פְּטוּרִים. וְאֵין הֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן:

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

את החי במטה – on the living, one does not become liable in removing him, if he is not tied up/bandaged, because he would carry himself and these words refer to a person, but not for cattle, wildlife or fowl, for it is like someone who is tied up.

וְכֵן כַּזַּיִת מִן הַמֵּת. חַיָּב אִם הוֹצִיאוֹ, דְּהוֹאִיל וּמְטַמֵּא, הוֹצָאָה חֲשׁוּבָה הִיא לְהַצִּיל עַצְמוֹ מִן הַטֻּמְאָה. וְכֵן כַּזַּיִת מִן הַנְּבֵלָה וְכָעֲדָשָׁה מִן הַשֶּׁרֶץ, דְּהָכִי הֲוֵי שִׁעוּרָן לְטֻמְאָה:

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

וכן כזית מן המת – he is liable if he removed him, for since it is considered that removal defiles to save oneself from defilement, and similarly an olive’s bulk from a carrion and a lentil’s bulk from a creeping thing, for these are their measures for defilement.

וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן פּוֹטֵר. אֲפִלּוּ בְּמֵת שָׁלֵם, דַּהֲוֵי מְלָאכָה שֶׁאֵינָהּ צְרִיכָה לְגוּפָהּ, דְּכָל שֶׁאֵינוֹ אֶלָּא לְסַלְּקוֹ מֵעָלָיו הַוְיָא מְלָאכָה שֶׁאֵינָהּ צְרִיכָה לְגוּפָהּ וְלָאו מְלֶאכֶת מַחֲשֶׁבֶת הִיא. וְאֵין הֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן:

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

רבי שמעון פוטר – even with an entire dead person for this is work that is not required for its body [on the Sabbath], for everything that is not necessary other than to remove it from him is a labor that is not necessary for itself, and it is not a productive work (with a direct purpose), and the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.

וְכֵן שְׂעָרוֹ. הַתּוֹלֵשׁ שְׂעַר רֹאשׁוֹ בְּיָדוֹ:

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

רבי אליעזר מחייב חטאת – painting the eyelids because of writing dressing her hair and painting the face with rouge because of [the prohibition against] building.

וַחֲכָמִים אוֹסְרִים מִשּׁוּם שְׁבוּת. דְּסָבְרֵי אֵין דֶּרֶךְ כְּתִיבָה בְּכָךְ וְאֵין דֶּרֶךְ בִּנְיָן בְּכָךְ, וַהֲלָכָה כַּחֲכָמִים. וְדַוְקָא הַנּוֹטֵל צִפָּרְנָיו וּשְׂעָרוֹ בְּיָדָיו הוּא דְּפָטְרִי רַבָּנָן מֵחַטָּאת וּמִסְּקִילָה, אֲבָל הַנּוֹטֵל שְׂעָרוֹ אוֹ צִפָּרְנָיו בִּכְלִי מוֹדִים חֲכָמִים דְּחַיָּב חַטָּאת. וּמִכִּי נָטַל שְׁתֵּי שְׂעָרוֹת חַיָּב. וְהַנּוֹטֵל שְׂעַר רֹאשׁ חֲבֵרוֹ אֲפִלּוּ בַּיָּד חַיָּב. וְצִפֹּרֶן שֶׁפָּרְשָׁה רֻבָּהּ אוֹ שֵׂעָר שֶׁנִּתְלַשׁ רֻבּוֹ וּמְצַעֵר אוֹתוֹ, מֻתָּר לִטְּלוֹ בַּיָּד לְכַתְּחִלָּה:

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

וחכמים אוסרים משום שבות – for they hold that there is no manner of writing in this, and there is no manner of building in this, and the Halakha is according to the Sages. And specifically, removing one’s fingernails or hair with one’s hands is what the Rabbis exempt from a sin-offering and stoning, but removing one’s hair or fingernails with a utensil, the Sages agree that one is liable for a sin-offering, and because he removed two hairs, he liable. But a person who removes the hair of the head of his fellow, even with his hand is liable. But a nail, most of which is separated or hair, most of which is detached and causes him pain, it is permitted to remove it by hand ab initio.

הַתּוֹלֵשׁ מֵעָצִיץ נָקוּב חַיָּב. דַּהֲוֵי כִּמְחֻבָּר, דְּיוֹנֵק מִן הַקַּרְקַע עַל יְדֵי הַנֶּקֶב, שֶׁמֵּרִיחַ לַחְלוּחִית הַקַּרְקַע, וַאֲפִלּוּ הַנֶּקֶב בְּצִדּוֹ. וְשִׁעוּר הַנֶּקֶב כְּדֵי שֹׁרֶשׁ קָטָן:
