הַתּוֹרֵם וְכוּ'. בְּשׁוֹגֵג אַיְרֵי, וַאֲפִלּוּ הָכִי יַחֲזֹר וְיִתְרֹם, דַּהֲוֵי קָרוֹב לְמֵזִיד, מִשּׁוּם דַּהֲוָה לֵיהּ [לְמִטְעַמֵּיהּ]:

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

התורם וכו' - it is speaking about inadvertently, for nevertheless, it is close to be willfull, because that he should have [tasted it].

וְנִמְצֵאת שֶׁל חֹמֶץ כוּ'. שֶׁהַתּוֹרֵם מִן הַחֹמֶץ עַל הַיַּיִן אֵין תְּרוּמָתוֹ תְרוּמָה, דְּיַיִן וְחֹמֶץ שְׁנֵי מִינִים הֵן:

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

ונמצאת של חומץ כו' – for a person who separates out heaveoffering from the vinegar on the wine, his heave-offering is not a heave-offering, for wine and vinegar are two [different] species.

אִם סָפֵק. עַד שֶׁלֹּא תְרָמָהּ הֶחֱמִיצָה אוֹ לְאַחַר שֶׁתְּרָמָהּ הֶחֱמִיצָה:

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

אם ספק – prior to his separating out the heave-offering it had soured or after he separated out the heave offering, it soured.

תְּרוּמָה וְיַחֲזֹר וְיִתְרֹם. וְנוֹתֵן שְׁתֵּיהֶן לַכֹּהֵן, וְכֹהֵן נוֹתֵן לוֹ דְּמֵי הָרִאשׁוֹנָה שֶׁהִיא גְדוֹלָה מִן הַשְּׁנִיָּה, שֶׁהַשְּׁנִיָּה מִתְמַעֶטֶת כְּפִי מַה שֶּׁעוֹלָה תְּרוּמַת הָרִאשׁוֹנָה, וּלְפִי שֶׁהַכֹּהֵן הוּא הַמּוֹצִיא מֵחֲבֵרוֹ וַאֲנַן קַיְמָא לָן בְּכָל דּוּכְתָּא הַמּוֹצִיא מֵחֲבֵרוֹ עָלָיו הָרְאָיָה, לְפִיכָךְ אֵינוֹ לוֹקֵחַ בְּלֹא דָמִים אֶלָּא הַקְּטַנָּה, וְצָרִיךְ שֶׁיִּתֵּן לוֹ דְּמֵי הַגְּדוֹלָה שֶׁהִיא הָרִאשׁוֹנָה:

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

תרומה ויחזור ויתרום – and he gives both of them to the Kohen, and the Kohen gives him the monetary value of the firs which islarger than the second, and second’s [value] is reduced according to what the heave-offering of the first costs, and since the Kohen makes a claim against his colleague, and we hold that in every place that “the claimant must produce evidence”/ "המוציא מחבירו עליו הראיה"(see Tractate Bava Metzia, Chapter 3, Mishnah 11), therefore, he does not acquire without money but the smaller/lesser object, and he must give him the monetary value of the larger/more important object which is the first.

הָרִאשׁוֹנָה אֵינָהּ מְדַמַּעַת בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָהּ. אִם נָפְלָה לְפָחוֹת מִמֵּאָה שֶׁל חֻלִּין אֵין נַעֲשֵׂית מְדֻמָּע, דְּשֶׁמָּא אֵינָהּ תְּרוּמָה אֶלָּא הַשְּׁנִיָּה הִיא תְרוּמָה, וְכֵן הַשְּׁנִיָּה אֵינָהּ מְדַמַּעַת בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָהּ, שֶׁמָּא הָרִאשׁוֹנָה תְּרוּמָה וְלֹא הַשְּׁנִיָּה:

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

הראשונה אינה מדמעת בפני עצמה – if less than one-hundred of non-sacred produce had fallen, something otherwise exempt, does not become subject to the law of Terumah, to mix non-sacred grain/wine/oil with Terumah in proportions to make the whole prohibited to non-priests, lest it is not Terumah but rather the second one is Terumah, and similarly, the second part does not become a mixture of sacred and non-sacred produce on its own, lest the firs part was Terumah and not the second.

וְאֵין חַיָּבִים עָלֶיהָ חֹמֶשׁ. זָר שֶׁאָכַל הָרִאשׁוֹנָה לְבַדָּהּ אוֹ הַשְּׁנִיָּה לְבַדָּהּ אֵינוֹ מְשַׁלֵּם חֹמֶשׁ כְּדִין שְׁאָר אוֹכְלֵי תְּרוּמָה בִּשְׁגָגָה:

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

ואין חייבים עליה חומש – a foreigner (i.e., non-Kohen) who ate the first [batch] (which may have doubtfully been Terumah since it may have fermented) alone or the second [batch] alone, he does not pay the one-fifth penalty like the law of others who consume heave-offering inadvertently.

מְדַמְּעוֹת כַּקְּטַנָּה שֶׁבִּשְׁתֵּיהֶן. כְּשִׁעוּר הַשְּׁנִיָּה שֶׁהִיא קְטַנָּה שֶׁבִּשְׁתֵּיהֶן, וְאִם יֵשׁ בַּחֻלִּין מֵאָה כְּנֶגֶד הַקְּטַנָּה אֵין נַעֲשִׂים מְדֻמָּע, אֶלָּא נוֹטֵל מִן הַחֻלִּין כְּשִׁעוּר אֵלּוּ הַשְּׁתֵּי תְרוּמוֹת שֶׁנָּפְלוּ בָהֶן וְנוֹתְנָן לַכֹּהֵן, וְהַשְּׁאָר חֻלִּין כְּמוֹ שֶׁהָיוּ:

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

מדמעות בקטנה שבשתיהן – like the measure of the second [batch] which is the smaller of the two of them, and if here is in the non-sacred produce one hundred [parts] corresponding to the smaller [batch], it does not impose the status of heave-offering , but one takes from the non-sacred produce like the measure of those two heave-offerings that fell in them and he gives them to the Kohen and the rest of it is non-sacred produce as they were.

תְּרוּמַת שְׁנֵיהֶם תְּרוּמָה. הַיְנוּ דִתְרוּמַת כָּל אֶחָד מֵהֶן חֶצְיָהּ תְּרוּמָה וְחֶצְיָהּ חֻלִּין, נִמְצָא כְּשֶׁתָּרְמוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם מֵחֲמִשִּׁים סְאִין זֶה סְאָה וְזֶה סְאָה, שֶׁלֹּא קָדְשָׁה תְּרוּמָה כִּי אִם חֲצִי סְאָה בְּשֶׁל זֶה וַחֲצִי סְאָה בְּשֶׁל זֶה, כָּל אֶחָד כְּפִי חֶלְקוֹ:

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

תרומת שניהם תרומה – that is the heave-offering of each of them is one-half heave-offering and one-half non-sacred produce, it is found that twhen both of them separated heave offering, from fifty Seah, that this one [set aside] one Seah and that individual one Seah, that the heave-offering was not sanctified other than one-half Seah belonging to this one and one-half Seah belonging to that one, each one of them according to his portion.

אִם תָּרַם הָרִאשׁוֹן כַּשִּׁעוּר. אֶחָד מֵחֲמִשִּׁים, כַּשִּׁעוּר שֶׁנָּתְנוּ חֲכָמִים, תְּרוּמָתוֹ תְרוּמָה. וַהֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי יוֹסֵי, דִּלְפֵרוּשֵׁי מִלְתַיְהוּ דַחֲכָמִים קָאָתֵי. וְאִית דִּמְפָרְשֵׁי אִם תָּרַם הָרִאשׁוֹן כְּשִׁעוּר מַה שֶּׁתָּרַם חֲבֵרוֹ אַחַר כָּךְ תְּרוּמָתוֹ תְרוּמָה, דַּחֲזִינַן דַּהֲוָה נִיחָא לֵיהּ לְהַאִיךְ בַּתְרָאָה בְּמַה שֶּׁתָּרַם הָרִאשׁוֹן, שֶׁהֲרֵי הָיְתָה דַעְתּוֹ מַסְכֶּמֶת עִמּוֹ בְּשִׁעוּר הַתְּרוּמָה. וּפֵרוּשׁ רִאשׁוֹן נִרְאָה בְּעֵינַי עִקָּר:

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

אם תרם הראשון כשעור – one from fifty – according to the measure that the Sages gave, his heave-offering is a heave-offering. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yosi (see Tractate Terumot, Chapter 4, Mishnah 3) , for he comes to explain the words of the Sages. But there are those who explain that if the first [person] separated according to the measure that his colleague separated [for heave-offering] afterwards, his heave-offering is a heave-offering, as we see that it was easy for him for that latter one with what the first one set aside as a heave-offering , for it was his intention agrees with him, in the measure of the heave-offering. But, the first explanation appears in my eyes to be essential.

בַּמֶּה דְבָרִים אֲמוּרִים. הָא דְפָלֵיג רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא לְעֵיל וְאָמַר תְּרוּמַת שְׁנֵיהֶם תְּרוּמָה:

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

במה דברים אמורים – that which Rabbi disputes above and states that the heave-offering of both is Terumah/heave-offering.

בְּשֶׁלֹּא דִבֵּר. שֶׁלֹּא נָטַל רְשׁוּת מֵחֲבֵרוֹ לִתְרֹם אֶלָּא תָּרַם מִדַּעְתּוֹ:

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

בשלא דבר – that this one did not receive permission from his colleague to separate the heave-offering, but rather, he separated the heave-offering of his own accord.

אֲבָל הִרְשָׁה. שֶׁנָּתַן בַּעַל הַבַּיִת רְשׁוּת לִתְרֹם, תְּרוּמָתוֹ תְרוּמָה:

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

אבל הרשה – that the owner gave permission [to his colleague] to separate the heave-offering, his heave-offering is a heave-offering.

בִּטֵּל. אִם לְאַחַר שֶׁמִּנָּה שָׁלִיחַ לִתְרֹם בִּטֵּל שְׁלִיחוּתוֹ לְאַחַר שֶׁהָלַךְ הַשָּׁלִיחַ מִלְּפָנָיו:

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

בטל – if afer he had appointed an agent to separate the heave-offering, he cancelled his agency after the agent went from before him.

חוּץ. בְּעָלִים עַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ שֶׁהִשְׂכִּירוּ פּוֹעֲלִים חֲבֵרִים כְּדֵי לְהַפְרִישׁ תְּרוּמָה בְּטָהֳרָה, רַשָּׁאִים לִתְרֹם עַד שֶׁלֹּא יִגְּעוּ בוֹ הַבְּעָלִים עַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ וִיטַמְּאוּ אֶת הַתְּרוּמָה, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהֵן מְטַמְּאִים אֶת הַגַּת, שֶׁהַבְּעָלִים עַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ מִיָּד כְּשֶׁהִתְחִילוּ הַדּוֹרְכִים לִדְרֹךְ וְהָלְכוּ בַגַּת שְׁתִי וָעֵרֶב אֵינָם נִזְהָרִים יוֹתֵר מִלִּגַּע בְּגִתָּן וּמְטַמְּאִים אוֹתָהּ, לְפִי שֶׁהֵם חוֹשְׁבִים שֶׁמִּיָּד כְּשֶׁהִתְחִילוּ לִדְרֹךְ הִפְרִישׁוּ הַחֲבֵרִים תְּרוּמָה גְדוֹלָה. הִלְכָּךְ מַפְרִישִׁים הַחֲבֵרִים הַדּוֹרְכִים מִן הַיַּיִן כְּדֵי שִׁעוּר תְּרוּמָה הַצְּרִיכָה לְכָל הַגַּת מִיָּד כְּשֶׁהָלְכוּ בָהּ שְׁתִי וָעֵרֶב, שֶׁאִם יָבֹאוּ בְּעָלִים וִיטַמְּאוּ הַגַּת קֹדֶם שֶׁיִּגְמְרוּ יֵשׁ לָהֶן יַיִן מְזֻמָּן לְהַפְרִישׁ עַל הַכֹּל בְּטָהֳרָה:

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

חוץ – the owners who are illiterate who hired workers who are members of the order for the observance of Levitical laws in daily intercourse in order to separate the heave-offering in ritual purity, are permitted to separate the heave offering until the illiterate owners arrived who would defile the heave-offering, because they ritually defile the vat for wine pressing, for the illiterate owners immediately when the when those who tread began to stamp and they went to the vat for wine pressing in the longitudinal and latitudinal directions are not more careful from coming into contact in their vas for wine-pressing and defile it, because they think that immediately when they begin to tread, their colleagues had separated out the Great Terumah/heave-offering (i.e., two percent for the Kohen). Therefore, they separate the members of the order for the observance of Levitical laws in daily intercourse that stamp from the wine in order [to reach] the measure of heave-offering that is necessary for the vat for wine-pressing immediately when they walked in it longitudinally and latitudinally. If the owners would come and defile the vat for wine pressing prior to their completing it, they have designated wine to separate everything in ritual purity.

קָרָא שֵׁם. וְצָרִיךְ לִתְרֹם וּלְעַשֵּׂר מִתּוֹכוֹ, וְאֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לְהַפְרִישׁ עָלָיו מִמָּקוֹם אַחֵר. וְאַף עַל גַּב דְּרַחְמָנָא קַרְיֵהּ לִתְרוּמָה רֵאשִׁית וּבָעִינַן שֶׁיִּהְיוּ שְׁיָרֶיהָ נִכָּרִים, כֵּיוָן דְּאָמַר בְּתוֹכוֹ, מַשְׁמַע בְּאֶמְצַע הַכְּרִי תְּהֵא הַתְּרוּמָה, וְהָא אִיכָּא סְבִיבָיו שֶׁהֵם שְׁיָרֶיהָ נִכָּרִים:

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

קרא שם – and he must separate the heave-offering and to tithe from within it., but he is not able to separate [tithes] from another place. And even though the All-Merciful called the Terumah/heave offering "ראשית"/”the first” and we require that its remnants are recognized, for since he said, “within it,” it implies, in the middle of the pile will be the heave-offering, but there is surrounding it which is its remnants that are recognized.

עַד שֶׁיֹּאמַר בִּצְפוֹנוֹ אוֹ בִדְרוֹמוֹ. אַף עַל גַּב דִּבְתוֹכוֹ מַשְׁמַע בְּאֶמְצָעִיתוֹ, לֹא הֲוֵי מָקוֹם מְסֻיָּם, וַהֲרֵי הוּא כְּאִלּוּ לֹא אָמַר כְּלוּם עַד שֶׁיֹּאמַר בִּצְפוֹנוֹ אוֹ בִדְרוֹמוֹ. וְכֵן הֲלָכָה:

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

עד שיאמר בצפונו או בדרומו – even though “within it” implies in its middle, it is not a specific place, and it is as if he did not say anything until he would say, in its northern portion or in its southern portion, and this is the Halakha.

תְּרוּמַת הַכְּרִי מִמֶּנּוּ עָלָיו קָרָא שֵׁם. דְּלֹא בָעִינַן שְׁיָרֶיהָ נִכָּרִים:

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

תרומת הכרי ממנו עליו קרא שם – and we don’t require its remnants being recognized.

עִשּׂוּר מַעֲשֵׂר זֶה וְכוּ'. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר בֶּן יַעֲקֹב פָּלֵיג אַרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן דְּאָמַר תְּרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר זֶה בְּתוֹךְ הַכְּרִי קָרָא שֵׁם, וְקָאָמַר דִּתְרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר זֶה בְּתוֹכוֹ קֹדֶם שֶׁהֻפְרַשׁ הַמַּעֲשֵׂר לֹא קָרָא שֵׁם, אֲבָל לְאַחַר שֶׁהֻפְרַשׁ הַמַּעֲשֵׂר אִם אָמַר תְּרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר עָלָיו קָרָא שֵׁם. וְלֵית הִלְכְתָא כְּחַד מִנַּיְהוּ אֶלָּא כַּחֲכָמִים בִּלְבָד:

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

עשור מעשר זה וכו' – Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov disputes on Rabbi Shimon who stated that this Terumah of the tithe (which the Levite to a Kohen) is within the pile that he validly designated, but after the tithe is separated, if he stated that the Terumah of the tithe is for it, he has validly designated it. But the Halakha is not like any of them, other than the Sages alone.

שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר מְלֵאָתְךָ וְדִמְעֲךָ לֹא תְאַחֵר. הָכִי קָאָמַר אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהוּא עוֹבֵר בְּלֹא תַעֲשֶׂה שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר מְלֵאָתְךָ וְדִמְעֲךָ לֹא תְאַחֵר, אַף עַל פִּי כֵן מַה שֶּׁעָשָׂה עָשׂוּי. מְלֵאָתְךָ אֵלּוּ הַבִּכּוּרִים שֶׁמִּתְמַלְּאִים בַּבִּכּוּר, וְדִמְעֲךָ זוֹ תְּרוּמָה, וּמַעֲשֵׂר רִאשׁוֹן נַמִּי יֵשׁ בּוֹ תְּרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר. לֹא תְאַחֵר, לֹא תְשַׁנֶּה הַסֵּדֶר:

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

שנאמר מלאתך ודמעך לא תאחר – this is what he said: he though he is transgressing a negative commandment, as it states (Exodus 22:28): “You shall not put off the skimming of the first yield of your vats,” nevertheless, what he did is done, as "מלאתך" /”your fullness,” – these are the first fruits, that fill the early seed/first-ripening, and "דמעך"/”full bloom”/”best part” – these are the heave-offerings, and First Tithe has the Terumah of the tithe (i.e., given by the Levite to the Kohen), "לא תאחר"/”do not put off,” you should not change the order.

זֶה קָרוּי תְּרוּמָה וְרֵאשִׁית. בִּכּוּרִים קְרוּיִין תְּרוּמָה, דְּאָמַר מַר [פְּסָחִים לח:] וּתְרוּמַת יָדְךָ (דברים יב) אֵלּוּ בִּכּוּרִים דִּכְתִיב בְּהוּ (שם כו) וְלָקַח הַכֹּהֵן הַטֶּנֶא מִיָּדֶךָ. וּקְרוּיִין רֵאשִׁית, רֵאשִׁית בִּכּוּרֵי אַדְמָתְךָ (שמות כג). תְּרוּמָה קְרוּיָה תְּרוּמָה, אֶת מִשְׁמֶרֶת תְּרוּמֹתָי (במדבר יח), וּקְרוּיָה רֵאשִׁית דְּגָנְךָ (דברים יח):

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

זה קרוי תרומה וראשית – "ביכורים"/”first fruits” is called "תרומה"/”heave-offering” , as the Master said [Tractate Pesahim 38b}: “or of your contributions”/"תרומת ידך" (Deuteronomy 12:17) – these are the first fruits, as it is written concerning them (Deuteronomy 26:4): “The priest shall take the basket from your hand [and set it down in front of the altar of the LORD your God.” And they are called: "ראשית"/ “choice” (Exodus 23:19): “he choice first fruits of your soil [you shall bring to the house of the LORD your God.” "תרומה"/heave-offering is called “Terumah” (Numbers 18:9) “I give you charge of My gifts,” and it is called (Deuteronomy 18:4): “[You shall also give him] the first fruits of your new grain [and wine and oil, and the first shearing of your sheep].”

בִּכּוּרִים שֶׁהֵן בִּכּוּרִים לַכֹּל. לְשׁוֹן בִּכּוּרִים דָּרֵישׁ, לְכָךְ קָרִינְהוּ רַחֲמָנָא בִּכּוּרִים. אִי נַמִּי מִשּׁוּם דִּכְתִיבֵי בְּפָרָשַׁת כִּי תִשָּׂא עַד שֶׁלֹּא נִצְטַוּוּ עַל הַתְּרוּמוֹת:

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

כבורים שהן כבורים לכל – the language of "בכורים"/”first fruits”, is expounded, therefore, the All-Merciful One calls them "בכורים"/”first fruits”; alternatively, because it is written in the Torah portion of Kee Tissa (Exodus 34:26 – “The choice first fruits of your soil you shall bring to the house of the LORD your God”_ until they had not been commanded regarding the heave-offerings/Terumot.

שֶׁיֶּשׁ בּוֹ רֵאשִׁית. דִּבְמַעֲשֵׂר רִאשׁוֹן יֵשׁ בּוֹ תְּרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר, וְהַתְּרוּמָה קְרוּיָה רֵאשִׁית, לְפִיכָךְ דִּין הוּא שֶׁיַּקְדִּים רִאשׁוֹן לַשֵּׁנִי:

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

שיש בו ראשית – that in the First tithe, it has in it the Terumah/heave-offering of the tithe, and the Terumah is called: "ראשית"/”first” – therefore, it is law that the First [Tithe] should come before the Second [Tithe].

עַד שֶׁיִּהְיוּ פִיו וְלִבּוֹ שָׁוִין. דִּכְתִיב (שם כג) מוֹצָא שְׂפָתֶיךָ תִּשְׁמֹר, וּכְתִיב (שמות לד) כָּל נְדִיב לֵב, הָא כֵּיצַד, בָּעִינַן גּוֹמֵר בְּלִבּוֹ וּמוֹצִיא בִשְׂפָתָיו:

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

עד שיהיו פיו ולבו שוין – as it is written (Deuteronomy 23:24): “You must fulfill what has crossed your lips [and perform what you have voluntarily vowed to the LORD your God, having made the promise with your own mouth],” and it is written (Exodus 35:22 – the printed text listed Chapter 34, an error): [“Men and women] whose hearts moved them, [all who would gladly make an elevation of gold to the LORD],” How now? We require that he resolved in his heart and enunciating [the same thought] with his lips.

הַנָּכְרִי וְהַכּוּתִי תְּרוּמָתָן תְּרוּמָה. אִם הִפְרִישׁוּ תְּרוּמָה מִן הַתְּבוּאָה שֶׁלָּהֶן, אֲבָל אִם תָּרַם הַנָּכְרִי מִשֶּׁל יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּשְׁלִיחוּתוֹ אֵין תְּרוּמָתוֹ תְרוּמָה, כִּדְדָרְשִׁינַן מִכֵּן תָּרִימוּ גַם אַתֶּם (במדבר יח) מָה אַתֶּם בְּנֵי בְרִית אַף שְׁלוּחֲכֶם בְּנֵי בְרִית:

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

הנכרי והכותי תרומתן תרומה – if they separated the heave-offering from heir grain, but if the heathen separated the heave-offering from that belonging to an Israelite through his agency, his heave-offering is not a heave offering, as we expound from (Numbers 18:28): “so shall you on your part set aside a gift [for the LORD from all the tithe s that you receive from the Israelites;” just as you are children of the covenant (i.e., Israelites), so your agents are also children of the covenant.

וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים יֶשׁ לוֹ. וַהֲלָכָה כַּחֲכָמִים:

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

וחכ"א יש לו – and the Halakha is according to the Sages.

תְּרוּמַת הַנָּכְרִי מְדַמַּעַת. אִם נָפְלָה לְפָחוֹת מִמֵּאָה נַעֲשָׂה הַכֹּל מְדֻמָּע וְאָסוּר לְזָרִים:

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

תרומת הנכרי מדמעת – if their fell at least from one-hundred, everything becomes prohibited to non-priests and is considered as Terumah.

וְחַיָּבִין עָלֶיהָ חֹמֶשׁ. זָר שֶׁאֲכָלָהּ בִּשְׁגָגָה מְשַׁלֵּם קֶרֶן וְחֹמֶשׁ:

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

וחייבין עליה חומש – a foreigner (i.e., non-Kohen) who consumed it inadvertently pays the principal plus an added fifth.

וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן פּוֹטֵר. מֵחֹמֶשׁ, אֲבָל מוֹדֶה הוּא דִּמְדַמַּעַת. וְאֵין הֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן:

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

ור"ש פוטר – from the added firth, but he admits that non-sacred grain, wine, oil mixed with Terumah in proportions sufficient to make the who prohibited to non-priests, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.
