פרק א משנה יא | |
הקונה שלשה אילנות |
One who buys three trees |
בתוך של חברו |
within [the land] of his colleague |
מביא וקורא |
brings [bikurim] and recites [the relevant pesukim] |
רבי מאיר אומר |
Rebbi Meir says |
אפילו שנים |
even [one who buys] two trees. |
קנה אילן וקרקעו |
One who buys a tree and [explicitly includes] its land |
מביא וקורא |
brings and recites |
רבי יהודה אומר |
Rebbi Yehuda says |
אף בעלי האריסות |
in addition, sharecroppers |
והחכורות |
and tenants |
מביאין וקורין |
bring and recite. |
פרק ב משנה א |
|
התרומה והבכורים |
Teruma and bikurim |
חייבים עליהן |
one [who is non-kohen who eats them] is liable |
מיתה וחומש |
for death [if done intentionally] and [if done unintentionally, the penalty of an additional] fifth |
ואסורים לזרים |
and are forbidden to non-kohanim |
והן נכסי כהן |
and these are the property of the kohen |
ועולין באחד ומאה |
and are batel in a ratio of 100:1 |
וטעונין רחיצת ידים |
and require the washing of one hands [before touching them] |
והערב שמש |
and [a kohein who was tamei must wait to consume them after immersion for] the sun's setting |
הרי אלו |
these are [similarities between] |
בתרומה ובכורים |
teruma and bikurim |
מה שאין כן במעשר |
which is not the case by maaser. |
NOTES
פרק א משנה יא
החכורות - As explained earlier, such a person pays a set rent, as opposed to a sharecropper, who pays a percentage of his crop to the landowner. Some explain that the sharecroppers and tenant farmers of this משנה differ from those of משנה ב in that their tenancy is permanent, as denoted by the term בעלי האריסות והחכורותת, which term was not used in the earlier mishna.
פרק ב משנה א
נכסי כהן - As opposed to הקדש, a kohen may sell his bikurim or teruma to another kohen or exchange them for goods or land. מה שאין כן במעשר - Which is permitted to non-kohanim, cannot be used, as if the kohen's personal property to buy or exchange for whatever he wishes, are בטל ברוב, do not require hand washing to touch them, or for the sun to set after immersion in a mikva.
