אַלְמָנָה לְכֹהֵן גָּדוֹל. עַבְדֵי מְלוֹג. מַה שֶּׁהָאִשָּׁה מְשַׁיֶּרֶת לְעַצְמָהּ וְאֵינָהּ כּוֹתֶבֶת בִּכְתֻבָּתָהּ, נִקְרָאִים נִכְסֵי מְלוֹג, שֶׁהַבַּעַל מוֹלֵג אוֹתָם נְכָסִים כִּמְלִיגַת הַתַּרְנְגוֹלִים, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא אוֹכֵל פֵּרוֹת אוֹתָן נְכָסִים, וְאִם פָּחֲתוּ פָּחֲתוּ לָהּ וְאִם הוֹתִירוּ הוֹתִירוּ לָהּ. וְנִכְסֵי צֹאן בַּרְזֶל הֵם הַנְּכָסִים שֶׁהִכְנִיסָה לוֹ וּמַה שֶּׁהוֹסִיף הוּא לָהּ וְכָתְבוּ בַּכְּתֻבָּה סַךְ הַכֹּל קִבֵּל עָלָיו פְּלוֹנִי כָּךְ וְכָךְ בִּכְתֻבָּתָהּ. וּלְכָךְ נִקְרָאִים צֹאן בַּרְזֶל, שֶׁהַקֶּרֶן קַיָּם כְּבַרְזֶל, שֶׁאִם מֵתוּ כֻּלָּן, חַיָּב הַבַּעַל לְשַׁלֵּם. וּלְפִי שֶׁהָיוּ רְגִילִים לָשׁוּם הַצֹּאן בְּשׁוּמַת כָּךְ וְכָךְ, וְהָיָה הָרוֹעֶה חַיָּב בְּאַחֲרָיוּתָן כְּפִי הַשּׁוּמָא אֲפִלּוּ אִם מֵתוּ כָּל הַצֹּאן, לְכָךְ נִקְרְאוּ הַנְּכָסִים שֶׁהַבַּעַל מְקַבֵּל עָלָיו אַחֲרָיוּתָן נִכְסֵי צֹאן בַּרְזֶל:

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

אלמנה לכ"ג: עבדי מלוג – what the woman leaves for herself and does not write in her Ketubah is called

עַבְדֵי מְלוֹג לֹא יֹאכְלוּ. לְפִי שֶׁהֵן שֶׁלָּהּ וְהִיא חֲלָלָה:

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

נכסי (עבדי) מלוג – a wife’s estate of which the husband has the fruition without responsibility for loss or deterioration - that the husband “plucks” that property like the plucking of chickens because he consumes the fruits of those properties and if they lessened [In value] they lessened for her, and if they increased, they increased for her. But נכסי צאן ברזל (mort-main, the wife’s estate held by her husband, which, in the case of her death or divorce, he must restore “in specie,” being responsible with all his landed property for loss or deterioration) – they are the properties that she brought in to him and what he adds to it is hers, and they wrote into the Ketubah: the total amount that so-and-so accepted upon himself is such -and such, in her Ketubah, and therefore, they are called צאן ברזל – as the principal exists like iron, and if everyone died, the husband is liable to because they are accustomed to place the sheep in such-and-such an appraisement of valuables (brought into the marriage by the wife) , and the shepherd would be responsible for them (if lost), according to the estimate even if all the sheep died, hence, they are called properties that the husband accepts responsibility for - נכסי צאן ברזל (that must be returned to the wife “in specie” in the event of death or divorce.

בַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁנִּשֵּׂאת לְכֹהֵן. אֲפִלּוּ עַבְדֵי מְלוֹג יֹאכְלוּ, מִשּׁוּם דַּהֲוֵי קִנְיָן כֹּהֵן שֶׁקָּנָה קִנְיָן, כְּלוֹמַר הָאִשָּׁה שֶׁהִיא קִנְיָנוֹ שֶׁל כֹּהֵן קָנְתָה אֵלּוּ הָעֲבָדִים, וּכְתִיב (ויקרא כב) וְכֹהֵן כִּי יִקְנֶה נֶפֶשׁ קִנְיַן כַּסְפּוֹ, שֶׁאֵין תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר קִנְיַן כַּסְפּוֹ, אֶלָּא לְמִדְרָשׁ הָכִי, וְכֹהֵן כִּי יִקְנֶה קִנְיַן כַּסְפּוֹ נֶפֶשׁ, שֶׁעַבְדּוֹ שֶׁל כֹּהֵן קָנָה נֶפֶשׁ, הוּא יֹאכַל בּוֹ:

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

בת ישראל שנשאת לכהן – even מגול slaves (i.e., that the husband has the fruition without responsibility for loss or deterioration) , they may consume [Terumah/priest’s due] because they are the acquisition of a Kohen who purchased merchandise, meaning to say, the wife that is his purchase of a Kohen who purchased these particular slaves, as it is written (Leviticus 22:11): “But a person who is a priest’s property by purchase [may eat of them (i.e., the sacred donations) and those born into his household may eat of his food],” for the inference of "קנין כספו"/”the priest’s property” does not come other than for this exegesis: that a Kohen who has as purchased property with his money, that soul, which is the slave of the Kohen who bought a soul may eat of it (i.e., his food as a member of his household).

וְהִנִּיחָהּ מְעֻבֶּרֶת. אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁיֵּשׁ לָהּ בָּנִים מִמֶּנּוּ וְהִיא אוֹכֶלֶת בַּתְּרוּמָה, לֹא יֹאכְלוּ עַבְדֵי צֹאן בַּרְזֶל בַּתְּרוּמָה, לְפִי שֶׁהֵן שֶׁל יוֹרְשִׁין וְיֵשׁ לָעֻבָּר חֵלֶק בָּהֶן, וְאֵין לָעֻבָּר כֹּחַ לְהַאֲכִילָם בַּתְּרוּמָה, אִי מִשּׁוּם דְּקָסָבַר עֻבָּר בִּמְעֵי זָרָה זָר הוּא, אִי מִשּׁוּם דְּקָסָבַר יָלוּד מַאֲכִיל, שֶׁאֵינוֹ יָלוּד אֵינוֹ מַאֲכִיל, דִּכְתִיב (ויקרא כב) וִילִיד בֵּיתוֹ הֵם יֹאכְלוּ, וְקָרֵי בֵּיהּ הֵם יַאֲכִילוּ:

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

והניחה מעוברת – even though she has children from him and she consumes Terumah, the slaves of her mort-main do not eat Terumah because they belong to the heirs, and the fetus has a portion in them and the fetus does not have the ability to provide them with Terumah either because he holds that a fetus in a foreign womb (of a non-Kohen), he is a foreigner or because he holds that someone born can feed; someone who is not born cannot feed, as it is written (Leviticus 22:11): “and those that are born into his household may eat [of his food],” and we call him they who will feed.

שֶׁהָעֻבָּר פּוֹסֵל. אִם בַּת כֹּהֵן לְיִשְׂרָאֵל הִיא וְהִנִּיחָהּ מְעֻבֶּרֶת וְאֵין לָהּ בֵּן אַחֵר, פּוֹסְלָהּ מִלָּשׁוּב לְבֵית אָבִיהָ:

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

שהעובר פוסל – if the daughter of a Kohen is married to an Israelite [male], and she was left pregnant (because her husband died), and she has no other son, it disqualifies her from returning to her father’s home.

וְאֵינוֹ מַאֲכִיל. שֶׁאִם הָיְתָה בַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל לְכֹהֵן וְהִנִּיחָהּ מְעֻבֶּרֶת אֵין בָּעֻבָּר כֹּחַ לְהַאֲכִילָהּ, וְהוּא הַדִּין לַעֲבָדָיו:

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

ואינו מאכיל – if she was the daughter of an Israelite married to a Kohen and she was left pregnant (because her husband died), the fetus does not have the strength to sustain her and the same law applies to his slaves.

אַף בַּת כֹּהֵן לְכֹהֵן כוּ'. כֵּיוָן דְּאָמַרְתְּ שֶׁאֵינוֹ יָלוּד אֵינוֹ מַאֲכִיל, אַף בַּת כֹּהֵן לְכֹהֵן אֵין הָעֲבָדִים אוֹכְלִים בַּתְּרוּמָה מִפְּנֵי חֶלְקוֹ שֶׁל עֻבָּר, שֶׁהֲרֵי עֲבָדָיו הֵן וְאֵינָן אוֹכְלִין אֶלָּא בִּשְׁבִילוֹ, וְהוּא אֵין בּוֹ כֹּחַ לְהַאֲכִיל. וְאֵין הֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי יוֹסֵי:

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

אף בת כהן לכהן כו' – since you said that he is not born, he does not sustain, even the daughter of a Kohen who is married to a Kohen, the slaves don’t consume Terumah because of the fetus’ portion because they are his slaves and they don’t consume, other than for him, and he lacks the strength to sustain them, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yosi.

הָעֻבָּר. הַאי עֻבָּר, אִי בַּת כֹּהֵן לְיִשְׂרָאֵל הִיא, פּוֹסֵל, דִּכְתִיב בִּנְעוּרֶיהָ, פְּרָט לִמְעֻבֶּרֶת. אִי בַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל לְכֹהֵן הִיא, לֹא מַאֲכִיל, דְּשֶׁאֵינוֹ יָלוּד אֵינוֹ מַאֲכִיל:

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

העובר והיבם וכו' -this fetus if [it is the product of] the daughter of a Kohen and an Israelite [male], it disqualifies her [from eating Terumah] as it is written (Leviticus 22:13): “[But if the priest’s daughter is widowed or divorced and without offspring, and is back in her father’s house] as in her youth, [she may eat of her father’s food],” excluding someone pregnant, if she is an Israelite woman [awaiting the act of a levir] to a Kohen, he does not feed [Terumah] and that which is not born does not cause feed [either].

וְהַיָּבָם. אִי בַּת כֹּהֵן לְיִשְׂרָאֵל הִיא, פּוֹסֵל לָהּ, וְשָׁבָה אֶל בֵּית אָבִיהָ כְּתִיב (שם), פְּרָט לְשׁוֹמֶרֶת יָבָם שֶׁאֵינָהּ יְכוֹלָה לָשׁוּב, שֶׁהִיא אֲגוּדָה בִּיבָמָהּ. וְאִי בַת יִשְׂרָאֵל לְכֹהֵן, לֹא מַאֲכִיל לָהּ, קִנְיַן כַּסְפּוֹ אָמַר רַחֲמָנָא וְזוֹ קִנְיַן אָחִיו הִיא:

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

והיבם – if the daughter of a Kohen is [to engage in a levirate marriage] with an Israelite man, he disqualifies her [from partaking of Terumah] as it is written (Leviticus 22:13): “and is back in her father’s house,” excluding the widow waiting for her brother-in-law to act, who is not able to return [to her father’s house] because she is in union with the widow waiting for her brother-in-law to act and if it is the daughter of an Israelite [who is to engage in a levirate marriage] with a Kohen, he does not feed her [Terumah]. The All-Merciful said (Leviticus 22:11): “[But a person who is a priest’s] property by purchase [may eat of them],” but this is the purchase of his brother.

וְהָאֵרוּסִין. אִי בַת כֹּהֵן לְיִשְׂרָאֵל הִיא, פָּסִיל לָהּ, דְּקָנֵי לָהּ בַּהֲוָיָה, וּמִשְּׁעַת הֲוָיָה אִפְסִילָה לָהּ, כְּדִכְתִיב (שם) וּבַת כֹּהֵן כִּי תִּהְיֶה לְאִישׁ זָר. אִי בַת יִשְׂרָאֵל לְכֹהֵן, לֹא מַאֲכִיל לָהּ, גְּזֵרָה שֶׁמָּא יִמְזְגוּ לָהּ כּוֹס יַיִן שֶׁל תְּרוּמָה בְּבֵית אָבִיהָ וְתַשְׁקֶה לְאַחֶיהָ וּלְאַחְיוֹתֶיהָ:

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

והאירוסין – if she [the widow waiting for her brother-in-law to act] is the daughter of Kohen [to undergo levirate marriage with] with an Israelite [male], he disqualifies her, as he acquires her through “becoming,” and from the time of “becoming” he disqualifies her, as it is written (Leviticus 22:12): “If a priest’s daughter marries a layman, [she may not eat of the sacred gifts],” if it is the daughter of an Israelite [to be taken through levirate marriage] to a Kohen, he does not feed her [Terumah], as a decree lest they pour for her a cup of wine of Terumah in the house of her father and she causes her brothers and sisters to drink of it [as well]

וְהַחֵרֵשׁ. אִי בַת כֹּהֵן לְיִשְׂרָאֵל הִיא, פָּסַל לָהּ, דְּהָא קְנָאָה בְּתַקַּנְתָּא דְּרַבָּנָן. וְאִי בַת יִשְׂרָאֵל לְכֹהֵן הִיא, לֹא מַאֲכִיל לָהּ, דְּקִנְיַן כַּסְפּוֹ אָמַר רַחֲמָנָא וְחֵרֵשׁ מִדְּאוֹרָיְתָא לֹא קָנִי:

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

והחרש – if the daughter of a Kohen is [the widow waiting for her brother-in-law to act] [to be married by levirate marriage] to an Israelite male, he disqualifies her [from eating Terumah] for he has acquired her through the Rabbinic ordinance, and if it is a daughter of an Israelite man [who is the widow waiting for her brother-in-law to act] and he is a Kohen, he does not feed her [Terumah] for she is his “property by purchase”(Leviticus 22:11), but a deaf-mute, according to the Torah does not acquire.

וּבֶן תֵּשַׁע שָׁנִים וְיוֹם אֶחָד וְכוּ'. אֶחָד מִן הַפְּסוּלִים לַכְּהֻנָּה שֶׁהוּא בֶּן תֵּשַׁע שָׁנִים וְיוֹם אֶחָד וּבָא עַל הַכֹּהֶנֶת אוֹ עַל הַלְוִיָּה אוֹ עַל בַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל, פְּסָלָהּ מִלֶּאֱכֹל בַּתְּרוּמָה, שֶׁבֶּן תֵּשַׁע שָׁנִים וְיוֹם אֶחָד בִּיאָתוֹ בִּיאָה וְנִתְחַלְּלָה בִּבְעִילָתוֹ. וְאִי בַת יִשְׂרָאֵל נִשֵּׂאת לְכֹהֵן בֶּן תֵּשַׁע שָׁנִים וְיוֹם אֶחָד, אֵינוֹ מַאֲכִילָהּ בַּתְּרוּמָה, שֶׁאֵין קִנְיָנוֹ קִנְיַן גָּמוּר:

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

ובן תשע שנים ויום אחד וכו' – one those who are ineligible to be married into the priesthood when he is nine years and one day old and comes upon the daughter of a Kohen or upon the daughter of a Levite, or upon the daughter of an Israelite he has disqualified her from eating Terumah for someone who is nine years and one day old, his act of sexual intercourse is considered sexual intercourse, and he has profaned/degraded her through his act of sexual intercourse. But if the daughter of an Israelite is married to a Kohen who is nine years and one day old, he does not feed her Terumah/priest’s due, for his acquisition is not a complete acquisition.

וְכֵן סָפֵק בֶּן תֵּשַׁע שָׁנִים וְכוּ'. דִּינוֹ כְּבֶן תֵּשַׁע וַדַּאי וּפוֹסֵל:

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

וכן ספק בן תשע שנים וכו' – his law is like someone who is definitely nine [years old an one day] and he disqualifies her [from eating Terumah – if he is a Kohen].

סָפֵק הֵבִיא שְׁתֵּי שְׂעָרוֹת סָפֵק לֹא הֵבִיא. קָטָן שֶׁקִּדֵּשׁ אֶת הָאִשָּׁה, סָפֵק הֵבִיא שְׁתֵּי שְׂעָרוֹת סָפֵק לֹא הֵבִיא וְקִדּוּשֶׁיהָ קִדּוּשֵׁי סָפֵק, אִשְׁתּוֹ חוֹלֶצֶת וְלֹא מִתְיַבֶּמֶת:

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

ספק הביא שתי שערות ספק לא הביא – a minor who betrothed a woman – it is doubtful if he had brought forth two [pubic] hairs or not, and her betrothal is a doubtful betrothal. His wife may remove the shoe of the brother of her dead husband, but she may not be placed in a levirate marriage.

נָפַל הַבַּיִת עָלָיו וְעַל בַּת אָחִיו. שֶׁהִיא אִשְׁתּוֹ. סָפֵק הוּא מֵת רִאשׁוֹן וְנָפְלוּ שְׁתֵּיהֶן לְיִבּוּם לִפְנֵי אָחִיו וּפְטוּרָה צָרָתָהּ מִשּׁוּם צָרַת הַבַּת, סָפֵק הִיא מֵתָה רִאשׁוֹנָה וּבִשְׁעַת נְפִילָה לְיִבּוּם לֹא הֲוַאי צָרָתָהּ צָרַת עֶרְוָה כְּדִתְנַן וְכֻלָּן אִם מֵתוּ אוֹ מֵאֲנוּ וְכוּ'‏ צָרוֹתֵיהֶן מֻתָּרוֹת. צָרָתָהּ חוֹלֶצֶת וְלֹא מִתְיַבֶּמֶת. וְאַיְּדֵי דְּאַיְרֵי בִּסְפֵקֵי לְחֻמְרָא תָּנֵי לְהָא בַּהֲדַיְהוּ:

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

נפל הבית עליו ובת אחיו – and she is his wife, it is doubtful if he died first and both of them fell to a levirate marriage in the presence of his brother, but she exempts her rival wife because it is doubtful if the daughter’s associate died first, and a the time when she fell to the levirate marriage, her rival wife was not forbidden on account of consanguinity as it teaches in the Mishnah, and if they died, or refuses, their rival wives are permitted [to marry]; her rival wife undergoes Halitzah but does not enter into a levirate marriage and since we are speaking of doubtful cases, it is taught stringently in their presence.

וְהַשּׁוֹטֶה. אֲפִלּוּ עַל יְדֵי חֻפָּה וְקִדּוּשִׁין לֹא פּוֹסֵל וְלֹא מַאֲכִיל, שֶׁאֵין קִנְיָנוֹ קִנְיָן:

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

והשוטה – even through marriage and betrothal/חופה וקידושין – he does not disqualify [her from consuming Terumah, but he does not feed it as his acquisition is not an acquisition.

נֶחְתַּךְ הָעֻבָּר שֶׁבְּמֵעֶיהָ תֹּאכַל. מִיָּד. וְהוּא הַדִּין אִם יְלָדַתּוּ וָמֵת:

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

נחתך העובר שבמעיה תאכל – immediately [she may consume Terumah] and the same law applies if she gave birth to him and he died.

עִבְּרָה לֹא תֹאכַל. שֶׁהָעֻבָּר אֵינוֹ מַאֲכִיל:

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

עיברה לא תאכל – for the fetus does not feed/cause others to eat [Terumah].

גָּדוֹל מִשֶּׁל אָב. שֶׁהַבּוֹעֵל אֵינוֹ מַאֲכִיל, לְפִי שֶׁלֹּא בָּא עָלֶיהָ לְשֵׁם קִדּוּשִׁין וְלָאו קִנְיָנוֹ הִיא, וּבְנוֹ מַאֲכִיל:

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

גדול משל אב – for the man who has sexual intercourse does not sustain [his partner with Terumah] because he did not come upon her for the sake of Kiddushin/Jewish betrothal, and she is not his property/possession but he provides for his son.

הָעֶבֶד פּוֹסֵל מִשּׁוּם בִּיאָה. אִם בָּא עַל הַכֹּהֶנֶת פְּסָלָהּ מִלֶּאֱכֹל בַּתְּרוּמָה:

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

העבד פוסל משום ביאה – if he comes upon the daughter of a Kohen, he has disqualified her from consuming Terumah/priest’s due.

וְאֵינוֹ פוֹסֵל מִשּׁוּם זָרַע. אִם יֵשׁ לָהּ זֶרַע לְבַת כֹּהֵן מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל כָּשֵׁר:

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

ואינו פוסל משום זרע – if she ha seed as the daughter of a Kohen from an Israelite man, it is legitimate.

נִכְבַּשׁ. נִדְחַק וּבָא עָלֶיהָ:

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

נכבש – he was pressed and came upon her.

הֲרֵי זֶה עֶבֶד. שֶׁוְּלַד שִׁפְחָה כָּמוֹהָ:

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

הרי זה עבד – for the daughter of a maid-servanet is like her.

הָיְתָה אֵם אָבִיו בַּת כֹּהֵן לְיִשְׂרָאֵל תֹּאכַל בַּתְּרוּמָה. אִם מֵת אָבִיו, אַף עַל גַּב דְּהַוָּלָד קַיָּם וּבְעָלְמָא וָלָד פּוֹסֵל, הַאי לֹא פָּסִיל, דְּלָאו בָּתַר אֲבוּהּ שָׁדִינַן לֵיהּ, דְּלָאו זַרְעוֹ הוּא:

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

היתה אם אביו בת כהן לישראל תאכל בתרומה – if his father died, even though the child exists, and it is merely aa child who disqualifies; this one does not disqualify for it is not after her father that we judge him, for it is not his seed.

וּפוֹסֵל אֶת אֵם אִמּוֹ. דְּאִי לָאו הוּא, הָיְתָה אֵם אִמּוֹ חוֹזֶרֶת לִתְרוּמָה דְּבֵית אָבִיהָ לְאַחַר מִיתַת בִּתָּהּ. וְכָל זְמַן שֶׁזֶּה קַיָּם אֵינָהּ חוֹזֶרֶת לִתְרוּמָה דִּכְתִיב (ויקרא כב) וְזֶרַע אֵין לָהּ, עַיֵּן עָלֶיהָ, אוֹ בַּת בַּת הַבַּת, אוֹ בֶּן בֶּן הַבֵּן, אוֹ בַּת בַּת הַבֵּן עַד סוֹף כָּל הַדּוֹרוֹת:

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

ופוסל את אם אמו – for if it we not him, his grandmother would return to eat Terumah of her father’s home after the death of her daughter, and all the while that he lives, she does not return to Terumah , as it is written (Leviticus 22:13): “[but if the priest’s daughter is widowed or divorced] and without offspring, [and is back in her father’s house as in her youth, she may not eat of her father’s food],” examine – upon her or the daughter of her daughter’s daughter, or the son of his son’s son or the daughter of son’s daughter, until the end of all generations.

לֹא כִבְנִי כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל. כְּלוֹמַר לֹא יִרְבּוּ כְּמוֹתוֹ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, שֶׁהוּא פּוֹסְלֵנִי מִן הַתְּרוּמָה:
