Mishnah Temurah 7

Authored by: T/N, Joshua Kulp
7:1
יש בקדשי מזבח. מה שאין בקדשי בדק הבית. ויש בקדשי בדק הבית. מה שאין בקדשי מזבח. שקדשי מזבח עושים תמורה. וחייבין עליהם משום פגול. נותר. וטמא. ולדן וחלבן אסור לאחר פדיונם. והשוחטם בחוץ חייב. ואין נותנים מהם לאומנים בשכרן. מה שאין כן בקדשי בדק הבית:
There are [laws] which apply to dedications for the altar which do not apply to dedications for repairs of the Temple, and there are [laws] which apply to dedications for the repairs of the Temple which do not apply to dedications for the altar.Dedications for the altar effect a substitute; They are subject to the laws of piggul, remnant and ritual uncleanness; Their offspring and milk are forbidden [even] after their redemption; If one kills them outside [the Temple] he is guilty; And wages are not paid from them to artisans, Which is not the case with dedications for temple repairs.
7:2
יש בקדשי בדק הבית. מה שאין בקדשי מזבח. שסתם הקדשות לבדק הבית. הקדש בדק הבית חל על הכל. ומועלין בגדוליהן. ואין בהם הנאה לכהנים:
There are [laws] which apply to dedications for the repairs of the Temple which don’t apply to dedications to the altar.Unspecified dedications go to the repairs of the Temple. Dedication for the repairs of the temple can have an effect on all things, The law of sacrilege applies to things that grow from them. And there is no benefit to be derived from them for the priest.
7:3
אחד קדשי מזבח. ואחד קדשי בדק הבית. אין משנין אותן מקדושה לקדושה. ומקדישין אותן הקדש עלוי. ומחרימין אותן. ואם מתו יקברו. רבי שמעון אומר. קדשי בדק הבית אם מתו יפדו:
Both dedications for the altar and dedications for the repairs of the Temple may not be changed from one holiness to another. One may dedicate them with a value-dedication, and one may conscribe them. If they die, they are buried. Rabbi Shimon says: dedications for the repairs of the temple, if they died, they are redeemed.
7:4
ואלו הן הנקברים. קדשים שהפילו יקברו. הפילה שליא תקבר. שור הנסקל. ועגלה ערופה. וצפורי מצורע. ושער נזיר. ופטר חמור. ובשר בחלב. וחולין שנשחטו בעזרה. רבי שמעון אומר חולין שנשחטו בעזרה ישרפו. וכן חיה שנשחטה בעזרה:
And the following are things which must be buried:A dedicated animal which had a miscarriage, [the miscarriage] must be buried. A dedicated animal which expelled a placenta, [the placenta] must be buried. An ox which was condemned to be stoned. The heifer whose neck was broken. The birds [brought in connection with the purification] of one with skin disease (metzora). The hair of a nazirite. The first-born of a donkey. [A mixture of] meat [cooked] in milk. And hullin which were slaughtered in the Temple court. Shimon says: hullin which were slaughtered in the Temple court must be burned. And similarly a wild animal killed in the Temple court [is also burned].
7:5
ואלו הן הנשרפים. חמץ בפסח ישרף. ותרומה טמאה. והערלה וכלאי הכרם. את שדרכו לישרף ישרף. ואת שדרכו ליקבר יקבר. ומדליקין בפת ובשמן של תרומה.
And the following are to be burned:Chametz on Pesah is burned; Unclean terumah; Orlah; Kilayim (mixed seeds) in the vineyard--that which it is customary to burn is to be burned and that which it is customary to bury is to be buried. We may kindle with the bread and oil of [unclean] terumah.
7:6
כל הקדשים שנשחטו חוץ לזמנן. וחוץ למקומן. הרי אלו ישרפו. אשם תלוי ישרף. רבי יהודה אומר יקבר. חטאת העוף הבאה על ספק. תשרף. רבי יהודה אומר יטילנה לאמה. כל הנשרפין לא יקברו. וכל הנקברים לא ישרפו. רבי יהודה אומר אם רצה להחמיר על עצמו. לשרוף את הנקברים רשאי. אמרו לו אינו מותר לשנות.
All dedicated animals which were slaughtered [with the intention of being eaten] after their set time or outside of their set place must be burned. An asham offered by one in doubt [as to whether he has transgressed] is to be burned. Rabbi Judah says: it is to be buried. A hatat of a bird that is brought for a doubt is burned. Rabbi Judah says: it is cast into the sewer. All things which must be buried must not be burned, and all things which must be burned must not be buried. Rabbi Judah says: if one wishes to be stringent with himself, to burn things which are buried, he is permitted to do so. They said to him: he is not allowed to change.
