כל הזבחים שקבל דמן זר – who is not a Kohen, it is disqualified. As it is written (Leviticus 22:2): “[Instruct Aaron and his sons] to be scrupulous about the sacred donations that the Israelite people consecrate to Me, lest they profane [My holy name, Mine the LORD’s],” teaches about the foreigner (i.e., non-Kohen) who transgressed, who profaned the Holy Things.

אונן – a person who sustained a loss of one of the relatives that he is obligated to mourn over them, all the day of the death is called Onen/a mourner before the burial of a kinsman, and he is forbidden to eat Holy Things, but if he served (nevertheless) and profaned . Except for the High Priest who offers sacrifices as a mourner prior to the burial of a kinsman [one is normally obligated to mourn for].

וטבול יום – that his purification is not completed until [after] sunset, as it is written (Leviticus 22:7): “As soon as the sun sets, he shall be pure, [and afterward he may eat of the sacred donations, for they are his food].”

ומחוסר בגדים – a common priest who served with less than four [sets of] garments. And a High Priest who served with less than eight [sets of garments] and because he is lacking priestly garments (which renders the offerings he sacrifices unit, and he is punishable by death at the hands of Heaven – see Exodus 29:9 and Tractate Zevakhim 17b) is disqualified, and similarly someone wearing an excess of priestly garments is disqualified. And similarly, if there was something that interposes between the priest’s undercoat/כתונת and the undergarments/drawers, he is disqualified, for the All-Merciful stated (Leviticus 6:7): “[The priest shall dress in linen raiment,] with linen breeches next to his body,” so that there will be nothing that interposes between the clothing to his skin, but he does don/wear the phylacteries of the head because they are placed on his hair which are visible between the front plate/ציץ (worn by the High Priest across his forehead which is made of gold, extending from one ear to the other – see Exodus 28:36-38) and the priest’s turban/מצנפת.

ומחוסר כפורים (lacking atonement – who must bring a sacrifice to complete it) – as for example, the man or woman with a flux (i.e., זב וזבה ), the leper and the woman who gave birth that completed their purification but had [yet] brought their sacrifices. And we find that the All-Merciful wrote regarding a woman who gave birth (Leviticus 12:8): “The priest shall make expiation on her behalf, and she shall be pure,” it follows that until here, she is impure. And the same law applies to all of the ret of those who are impure who require a sacrifice, that they [remain] in their state of impurity until they bring their atonement as regards partaking of Holy Things and to come to the Sanctuary.

ושלא רחוץ ידים ורגלים – because it is stated regarding the sanctification of the hands and feet that it is a law for all times, and it is stated regarding the raiment of the priesthood as a law for all times, just as concerning the raiment of the priesthood, if he served lacking priestly garments (see Exodus 29:9: “And gird both Aaron and his sons with sashes. And so they shall have priesthood as their right for all time.”), it is disqualified, even if he served without washing his hands and feet, he is disqualified. And the other of sanctifying his hands and feet: He doesn’t stand nor does he sit, but he reclines, and he places his right hand on top of his right foot and his left hand on top of his left foot, and rubs his feet with his hands when he is sanctifying [himself]. But he is not permitted to sanctify [himself] in the basin (i.e., laver for the priests in the Temple court) itself, but rather from the water that comes out from it, as it is stated (Exodus 30:19): “And let Aaron and his sons wash their hands and feet [in water drawn] from it,” but not in it, and all of the waters are fit for sanctification, and even if they are not fresh waters.

וערל – if he served, he is disqualified, as it is written in Ezekiel (44:9): “Let no alien, uncircumcised in spirit and flesh, [enter My sanctuary],” an analogy of words in close proximity is made between ערל/uncircumcised and בן – נכר/alien, just as an alien if he served is disqualified, so too is the case of the uncircumcised.

יושב – as it is written (Deuteronomy 18:5): “[For the LORD your God has chosen him and his descendants, out of all of your tribes], to be in attendance/לעמוד לשרת (literally, “to stand to serve”) [in the name of the LORD for all time],” that there should not be service other than while standing.

עומד על גבי כלים – since the floor of the Temple courtyard sanctifies, and the sacred vessels sanctify the thing that comes in contact with them, jus as sacred vessels require that thee is nothing that interposes between it and sacred vessels, even the floor, there should not be a thing that interposes between it and the floor. And needless to say utensils that are not a kind of flesh/meat definitely interpose, bu even the animal which is a kind of meat/flesh, and needless to say, the animal which is not a kind of human being, but rather even the feet of his colleague which are a kind of human being interposes.

קבל בשמאלו פסל – as it is written (Leviticus 4:25): “The priest shall take with his finger some of the blood of the purification offering and put it [on the horns of the altar of burnt offering],” which teaches that he the reception of the blood nor the putting it [on the horns of the altar of burnt offering] should be other than with the right [hand], for it is derived from the [law of the] leper, as it is written concerning it (Leviticus 14:16): “And the priest shall dip his right finger [in the oil that is in the palm of his left hand and sprinkle some of he oil with his finger seven times before the LORD].”

ור"ש מכשיר – he holds that this Biblical verse is expounded in back of him and not in front of/before him, therefore, the finger of “and put it” (Leviticus 4:25) as it is written refers to in back of him, and not as “[the priest] shall take” (ibid.,) which is written in front of him. But the Rabbis hold that this Biblical verse is expounded [both] in front of him/before him and in back of him, for when it is written, “with his finger,” it refers to both, to the taking that is before him/in front of him and to the putting which is in back of him. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.

נשפך על הרצפה – for the blood was not received in a vessel.

ואספו – as it is written (Leviticus 16:14): “He shall take some of the blood of the bull [and sprinkle it with his finger over the cover on the east side],” what is “from some of the blood of the bull?” If you might think , and even from part of the blood, but it is written (Leviticus 4:18): “and all the rest of he blood he shall pour out [at the base of the altar of burnt offering],” so we see that he receives all of the blood, but rather it is called, that he takes blood from the bull, from the bull he will receive it, but not from the ground. For they deduct one letter from this word and add it to another word and expound upon it.

נתנו על הכבש שלא כנגד היסוד פסול – but nevertheless the owners have been expiated/forgiven, but the meat is not eaten. For the All-Merciful stated regarding the blood (Leviticus 17:11): “and I have assigned it to you for making expiation for your lives upon the altar,” since the blood arrived to he altar, the owners were expiated/forgiven.

נתן את הנתנים למטה – from the red line/חוט הסיקרא (a line painted in red encircling the Temple altar at precisely half its height. This marking was necessary because the blood of animal sin-offerings and birds brought as burnt offerings was sprinkled on the upper portion of the altar, above the red line, whereas the blood of all other sacrifices was sprinkled on the lower portion, below the red line), which encircled the altar in the middle. And the blood which was placed in the five upper cubits which are above from the red line are called “placed above” and those that were placed in the five lower cubits which are below from the red line are called “placed below.”

הניתנים בפנים – that their bloods required sprinkling on the golden altar.

בחוץ – on the outer altar.

פסול – and they are forbidden for consumption.

ואין בו כרת – a person who eats from the meat of the Holy Things that whose blood was disqualified in these disqualified things, but he is not punished with extirpation.

השוחט את הזבח – peace-offerings or other [sacrifices] that are consumed.

כזית מעור האליה – but it comes to tell us that the skin of the fat tail is not like the fat tail itself, for he considers to eat something which is normally eaten, and therefore it is invalid, for if it is like the fat tail, one has in mind the undue intention in the performance of a sacrificial ceremony to eat something which is generally to be offered as incense (i.e., burned) and it is was not invalid, as is taught in the Mishnah (see Mishnah 3 of this chapter) shortly further on, to eat something which is usually eaten or to offer as incense something offered as incense (i.e., entrails) it is invalid.

ואינו ענוש כרת – rhe person who eats it, and even outside, and he is not published with extirpation.

ולאכול את בשרו למחר – but one cannot establish it for peace-offerings, but rather for the thanksgiving offering and the sin-offering, for whereas regarding peace offerings, it is its appropriate time. But to cast its blood or to burn its sacrificial portions, even for a peace-offering, it would be on the morrow outside its appropriate time.

פגול וחייבים עליו כרת – the person who eats it and even, at its appropriate time, he punished with extirpation.

השוחט והמקבל והמהלך והזורק – if when he is engaged in one of these four acts of Divine service, he had in mind the undue intention in the performance of a sacrificial ceremony regarding the sacrifice to eat from it something that is usually eaten, which is the flesh, or to burn something which is usually burned, which is the portions of the sacrifice offered on the altar, outside of its [natural] place, the meat is forbidden for eating, but the person who consumes it is not punished with extirpation. But if he had in mind the undue intention in the performance of the sacrificial ceremony to eat it outside of its appropriate time, the sacrifice is an offering disqualified by improper intention, and the person who eats it, even within its appropriate time frame is punished with extirpation, as it is written (Leviticus 7:18): “If any of the flesh of his sacrifice of well-being is eaten on the third day, it shall not be acceptable; it shall not count for him who offered it. It is an offensive thing, [and the person who eats of it shall bear his guilt],” the verse speaks of someone who had in mind the undue intention in the performance of the sacrificial ceremony to eat from his offering on the third day. Or, it doesn’t speak other than of someone who consumes from his sacrifice on the third day, you state, after he has been pronounced fit, he went back and became unfit, with astonishment. And furthermore, [the Biblical verse] says, “it shall not count for him” for in his intention he is disqualified, but he is not disqualified on the third day. But since it states in the Biblical verse “if any [of the flesh of his sacrifice of well-being] is eaten, we expound that the written Torah is speaking of two [acts of] eating, one, the eating by a human, which is the meat, and the other, the consumption by the altar, which is the portions of the sacrifice offered on the altar, and on both of them, it (i.e., the Biblical verse of Leviticus 7:18) states: “it shall not count for him who offered it. It is an offensive thing.”

ובלבד שיקרב המתיר – the blood [is sprinkled or tossed] in accord with its requirement.

כמצותו (is offered in accord with its requirement) – [as if it was kosher/fit] so that there would be no other disqualification in it. But if there was in it another disqualification of an undue intention in the performance of the sacrificial ceremony, he is released from the offering disqualified for improper intention. As will be explained further on (see Mishnah 4 of this chapter). For regarding פיגול/an undue intention in the performance of the sacrificial ceremony, it is written (see Leviticus 7:18): "לא ירצה"/”it is not acceptable,” as it is written regarding something fit/acceptable, to state to you that just as acceptability of a sacrifice that is fit/kosher, so too the acceptability of a sacrifice due to improper intention. Just as the acceptability of a sacrifice that is fit/kosher is not call acceptability of a sacrifice other than through the sprinkling/tossing of the blood, which is the end of the four permissible acts of a Divine Service, so too improper intention which is not fixed, and it always standing in a state of being suspended until he sprinkles/tosses the blood which is the end of all of that which makes the sacrifice fit for eating or for the altar.

בשתיקה – without an intention that renders it invalid.

הפסח והחטאת ששחטן שלא לשמן – they are removed from being offered with improper intention. But the rest of the sacrifices (especially peace-offerings) there is not [the category] of not for its own sake to remove them from improper intention, for they are valid when not offered for their own sake.

לאכול בזית בחוץ וכזית למחר – this is the same thing that they said, but the first clause [of the Mishnah] speaks about two actions: that he slaughtered it on the condition of eating an olive’s bulk outside [its appropriate place, and he received it on account to eat an olive’s bulk on the morrow [outside of its appropriate time]. But here, [we are speaking] of one action, that he slaughtered it on the condition of eating an olive’s bulk on the morrow [not at the appropriate time] and an olive’s bulk outside [not in its appropriate place].

ר' יהודה אומר– He disputes our entire Mishnah. He does not hold that the intention of other things that are forbidden remove one from an improper intention, unless it his invalid behavior preceded his improper intention. And he also disputes regarding the issue of one action, for he holds by the first language used. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.

לאכול כחצי זית ולהקטיר כחצי זית – but both o them are outside of the proper time or outside of the proper place.

כשר שאין אכילה והקטרה מצטרפין – to make it invalid. For here there lacks an appropriate measure (regarding the place it was offered) and there it lacks an appropriate measure (regarding the time it was offered).
