המפריש מקצת תרומה ומעשרות – as, for example, that he had one-hundred Seah of eatables forbidden pending separation of sacred gifts, and he removed from them a Seah (i.e., note that he is required to give 2% to a Kohen, not 1%), but it was his intention to yet separate the rest, he goes back and removes from the same pile itself until he completes the two Seah, like the measure of the Terumah/heave-offering. For the eatables forbidden pending separation of sacred gifts is what will be offered in his hand and not what was already made legally fit for use by giving the priestly dues.

אבל לא למקום אחר – if he has another one-hundred Seah of eatables forbidden pending separation of sacred gifts,, he is not able to separate upon them from those which he took part of their heave-offering, for regarding the others, we rely, perhaps, from that which was already made legally fit for use by giving the priestly dues, he removes from them, and not from the eatables forbidden pending separation of sacred gifs, but Rabbi Meir permits even from another place. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Meir.

במגורה – in a storehouse, as it is written (Haggai 2:19): “While the seed is still in the granary, [and the vine, fig tree, pomegranate and olive tree have not yet borne fruit].”

ונתן סאה לבן לוי – Our Mishnah is speaking about a worker who is a member of the order for the observance of Levitical laws in daily intercourse (i.e., Haver), who comes to dine with the owner of he house and does not believe him on the tithes, and the worker saw that owner of the house giving from his storehouse a Seah to the son of a Levite (i.e., First Tithe) and a Seah to a poor person (i.e., the Poor Tithe, in years 3 and 6 of the seven year cycle). Rabbi Meir states that this worker can eat from the storehouse eight Seah, for undefined, according to the law of First Tithe, he gave to the Levite, and according to the law of the Poor Tithe, he gave to the poor person, and behold there are eight Seah which were already made legally fit for use by giving the priestly dues and a little bit more. And even though he did not see him separate the Great Terumah (i.e., the two-percent for the Kohen), the illiterate were not suspected [of not fulfilling] the heave-offering.

וחכ"א לא הפריש בעל הבית אלא לפי חשבון (with a calculation [of the percentage of tithes which remain to be separa from the batch as a whole]) - this meal that the worker wants to eat with him., but the remainder is a mere gift that he gives to the Levite and the poor person, therefore, the worker does not have to eat with him until he has completed eight Seah according to the words of Rabbi Meir, but that meal which he was to eat with him and nothing more. Another explanation: “and he gave a Seah to the son of Levite and a Seah to a poor person, and they went on their way. But when he came to separate eight Seah from the storehouse and to eat them on the support of the two Seah that he gave to the son of the Levite and the poor person, he doesn’t know if those two Seah exist or not. Rabbi Meir says that he should separate eight Seah and eat them, in support of those two Seah that he gave to the son of the Levite and the poor person in the presupposition that they exist. But the Sages say that he does not separate other than according to a calculation [of the percentage of tithes which to be separated from the batch as a whole], that exist; if all of the two Seah exist, he separates upon them eight Seah and a bit more, and if only one-half of them exist, he does not separate on them other than four Seah, according to the calculation of what he finds of them existing, thus he separates upon them and not more. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.

עין יפה אחד מארבעים – He who is prompted by the heart and donates the heave-offering generously, separates one in forty.

והבינונית אחד בחמשים – these are not the words of the School of Shammai, but rather, the first Tanna, who stated it. But from the generosity of the School of Shammai (who said one in thirty) you learn for their words what is selfishness/the evil eye and the middle/intermediate amount, even though they are not taught [explicitly] in our Mishnah.

ועלה בידו אחד מששים – as, for example, that he donated from an estimate/guess-work, and there came up into his hand one out of sixty which is selfishness/the evil eye.

חזר והוסיף חייב במעשרות – for he has already exempted and the designation of heave-offering does not fall upon what he adds, therefore, this addition is completely eatables forbidden pending the separation of sacred gifts , and he is liable for tithes.

מששים ואחד – as, for example, that there were sixty one Seah in the pile and he took up a Seah in his hand, that Seah is the heave-offering/Terumah.

ויחזור ויתרום כמו שהוא למוד – [if he was accustomed] to donate one from sixty, he should still separate one from sixty in a Seah, and if he was accustomed to donate one from fifty [Seah], and there were found that there still remained eleven Seah that had not been donated [for Terumah].

במדה ובמשקל – meaning to say, that excess/surplus that he donates [as Terumah], it is permissible to donate/separate out Terumah by measure, or by weight or by number. For they didn’t say to donate/separate Terumah] from an estimate, other than at the beginning of the heave-offerinf.

אף שלא מן המוקף – for Rabbi Yehuda holds that one does not need to donate [Terumah] from that which is near and adjoining, other than at the beginning of Terumah. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.

מוקף – near and adjoing, and in the same place iself.

כדעתו של בעל הבית – because [he is one] who donates generously, and there are those who are miserly/with an evil eye, and there are those who donate the intermediate amount.

פיחת עשרה – and he donated one in forty.

או הוסיף עשרה – and donated [Terumah] from [one in] sixty.

תרומתו תרומה – for since that in one of he measures of he Sages he donated [Terumah], he can say to him: “For this I have estimated for you.”

ואם נתכוין להוסיף – that he knows the intention of the owner of the house, and he intended to add, even one, his heave-offering is not a heave-offering.

חד מעשרה – he is able to increase and to separate Terumah, for since that we find that the designation of Terumah in another place, which is one out of ten. But if it even greater [a percentage], the designation of Terumah is not on that excess, and it is unconsecrated produce that is subject to sacred gifts of tithes, and it is subject to the laws of Terumah, and this is its remedy, that he should make it Terumah of the tithe (i.e., that which the Levite gives to the Kohen) in another place, and give it to the Levite that he can make it the Terumah of the tithe of his eatables forbidden pending the separation of sacred gifts, and the Levite will give him unconsecrated produce corresponding to that excess. And that we say that he should make it Terumah of the tithe for another place and did not say that he should make it Terumah/heave offering for another place, because we don’t give Terumah/heave offering other than from that which is close b, vut the Terumah of the tithe, we separate it from something not close by.

מחצה חולין ומחצה תרומה – that he (i.e., Rabbi Yishmael) held that a person can make half of his pile Terumah/heave-offering, as it is written (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],” it is enough for the first that it be like grain [and the first is Terumah/heave-offering] and the grain is the left-overs.

עד שישייר שם חולין – we do not require oly that its left-overs be recognized, and the Halakha is according to Rabbi Tarfon and Rabbi Akiva.

הכלכלה – the basket that they measure in it to separate the tithes and the Terumah of the tithe, for we don’t separate them other than by measurement, and by number and by weight, as it is taught in the Mishnah (see Tractate Terumot, Chapter 1, Mishnah 7), and don’t increase to tithe by estimations, but the Great Terumah – we do not separate it other than from estimation, as it is taught in the Mishnah above (Tractate Terumot 1;7).

משערין את הכלכלה – [the calculate] to know what they will bring in from the produce.

בבכורות – at the time when the produce are in their ripening stage and are in their fullness and the basket includes less of them from what it holds of them at the end of the summer, when they begin to reduce in size and they are shriveled [and] thin (see Genesis 41:23).

ובאמצע הקיץ – when they are ripened and are not shriveled, and the basket holds from the produce more than what it holds of them when they fully developed, but less than what hit holds of them at the end of the summer when they have become reduced in size. Therefore, we calculate at these three seasons/times.

ובסייפות – produce that is at the end of the summer.

המונה משובח – from the one who removes through estimation.

והמודד משובח וכו' – and especially with tithes and the Terumah of the tithe, but not with the Great Terumah (i.e., that two percent which is given to the Kohen by Israelites), as we have explained.

תרומה עולה באחד ומאה – a Seah of heave-offering/Terumah that fell into one-hundred Seah of unconsecrated produce, which are, amidst everything one-and one-hundred, he takes one [Seah] from them and gives it to the Kohen, and the rest is unconsecrated produce as they were.

במאה ועוד – if a Seah of heave-offering/Terumah fell into ninety-nine Seah of unconsecrated produce and a bit more than ninety nine, and this a bit more, has no measurement, for since there is one-hundred and another something, he takes one Seah and gives it to the Kohen, and the rest is unconsecrated produce as they were.

קב למאה סאה שתות למדמע – if a Seah of Terumah/heave-offering fell into ninety-nine [parts] of unconsecrated produce and a Kab more, for the Kab is one-sixth of a Seah of Terumah in a proportion that makes the whole prohibited to non-priests, for a Seah is six Kabim, then he takes one Seah and the rest is unconsecrated produce as they were. But if there was unconsecrated produce less than ninety-nine [parts] and a Kab, the entire whole is forbidden to non-priests, and all of it should be sold to a Kohen at the value of Terumah outside of the value of a Seah of the Terumah that is in it. But the Halakha is according to Rabbi Eliezer that the Terumah is not offered with less than one hundred and one. For the Tanna/teacher of the Mishnah taught for us taught us anonymously according to him in several places. And everyone admits that the Terumah is not offered with one-hundred alone, and all the more so, with less than one-hundred [corresponding parts] as it is written (Numbers 18:29): “from every thing its best portion, the part thereof that is to be consecrated,” a thank that you donate from it [as Terumah], if it fell into it, you sanctify it, which is identical with one from one -hundred [parts], for from one-hundred Seah, you separate ten for First Tithe, and from those ten Seah for the Terumah of the tithe, and the All-Merciful stated that if that Seah returned to the ninety-nine, you sanctify them and everything becomes forbidden to non-priests, subject to the laws of Terumah.

תאנים שחורים מעלות ת הלבנות – a fig of heave-offering, black or white, that fell into one-hundred unconsecrated figs , half of them black and half of hem white, all of them combine to be voided, for if he had wanted, he would tread on them and mix them all together. But if a a black one fell, it neutralizes one from the black ones, and if a white one [fell], it neutralizes one of the white ones, and the remainder are unconsecrated produce as they were.

עגולי דבלה – cakes of of figs that are pressed/stamped with a round mold in which figs are pressed, the large ones neutralize the small ones,, if there are fifty small cakes found there and twenty-five large cakes, and one of he large ones is like two of the small ones, and there fell into them a small cake of heave-offering/Terumah, they assist all of them to be nullified. And similarly, round ones neutralize the figs pressed in quadrangular molds, these round ones are pressed in a round mold, the quadrangular ones are figs pressed in the square shape, like a frame/mold that they make the square stamped ones.

רבי אליעזר אוסר – if a black one fell, the black ones are forbidden, and id if what one fell, the white ones are forbidden, and similarly, large and small ones, and round and square ones, that which is similar to what fell are forbidden.

בידו מה נפלה – black or white, they do not neutralize, because one is able to eat the others, and since they are permitted, they do not help to nullify. But if it is not known if black ones fell or white ones fell, that all of them are doubtfully forbidden, they neutralize each other, and he Halakha is according to Rabbi Akiva.

כיצד – it comes to explain the words of Rabbi Akiva.

ובזו ר' אליעזר מחמיר – of that which we taught above (in Mishnah 8), but in what that he need to say further on (the next Mishnah), it is the opposite.

בדורס ליטרא קציעות – a Litra/pound of dry figs of heave-offering.

על פי הכד – of heave-offering [in the mouth of a jar] and there are many jars.

ואין ידוע – in which jar he stuffed in [the figs], and in each jar there are one-hundred Litra/pounds of unconsecrated produce (i.e., figs), even if there are aren’t here one hundred according to the law, Rabbi Eliezer permits it. But even though that it is known that the Litra in the mouth of the jar is of heave-offering, and is not mixed with the unconsecrated produce (i.e., figs), we view them as if they were separated from their place and the unconsecrated produce (i.e., figs) combined with the heave offering and are neutralized in one and one-hundred. But Rabbi Yehoshua holds that since they are not mixed/combined, the bottom/lower ones do not assist to nullify the upper ones, but rather, the rims at the bottom of the vessel are permitted, whereas the ones at the mouth are forbidden, until there will be there one-hundred according to the law and it will nullify the mouth of this jug with one-hundred mouths, and the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehoshua.

מגורה – a storehouse where they store the grain.

וקפאה – he removed what was above, the Aramaic translation of (II Kings 6:6): “and he made the ax head float”: the iron floated.

אם יש בקפוי תעלה באחד ומאה – The Jerusalem Talmud explains that this is what he said: if there is in the skimming with what is underneath it one-hundred and one [parts], it is neutralized, and Rabbi Eliezer, according to his reasoning, who said that he ones on the bottom neutralize the ones on the top, and it comes to tell us that even though he skimmed it, he revealed his intention that it had not become mixed with the bottom ones, nevertheless, the bottom ones assist to nullify.

ורבי יהושע אומר לא תעלה – Rabbi Yehoshua, according to his reasoning who said about that the bottom ones do not assist to nullify.

סאה תרומה וכו' – it is the conclusion of the words of Rabbi Yehoshua, and this is what he said: since it is not neutralized, how does he do it? יקפיאנה – he should remove what floats above and a bit around it until he knows that he removed everything, and all of the rest is unconsecrated produce.

אם כן למה אמרו – our Mishnah disputes the words of Rabbi Yehoshua. If so, in which place did they say that heave-offering requires one and one hundred [parts], since there is repair through skimming. And they respond that when it is not known if the Seah had become mixed up in the storehouse after it fell on the lip of the storehouse, alternatively, from the outset, it was not known where it fell, and the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehoshua.

שתי קופות – in each one is fifty Seah [of unconsecrated produce].

ואין ידוע לאיזו מהן נפלה – and both are forbidden from doubt, they assist each other tonullify, and if he wanted to neutralize a Seah from this one, he neutralizes, from that one, he neutralizes, half from this and half from that one, he neutralizes. And these two bins, even if they are in two homes, and it is not known from into which the Seah of heave-offering fell, they neutralize each other, because it is their manner to be vacated, and they are carried from place to place and sometimes are mixed with each other. But two storehouses are not carried; when they are in the same house, they neutralize each other, and if they are in two [houses], they don’t neutralize each other.

ר"ש אומר אפילו הן שבתי עיירות – but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.

שנפלה אחת מהן – one bunch in a similar manner, and it is not recognized from between them, and that bunch was half unconsecrated produce and half heave-offering.

שהיו שם מאה ושני חציים – with the half of heave-offering which is in it, and Rabbi Yosi teaches us that the the bunch which is half heave-offering becomes Terumah, but according to he percentage of Terumah that is in it, and we don’t say that the entire bunch becomes forbidden to non-priests, since it is Terumah that is mixed with unconsecrated produce.
