Mishnayos Demai Perek 5 Mishnah 11

דמאי פרק ה׳ משנה י"א

11

If one gave terumah from [produce of] demai for [other produce of] demai, or from [produce of] demai for [produce] which was certainly untithed, [this becomes] terumah, but he must give terumah over again. [If he gave terumah] from [produce] which was certainly untithed for [produce of] demai, [this becomes] terumah, but it may not be eaten until he first gives terumah and tithes for it.

תָּרַם מִן הַדְּמַאי עַל הַדְּמַאי, מִדְּמַאי עַל הַוַּדַּאי, תְּרוּמָה, וְיַחֲזֹר וְיִתְרֹם. מִן הַוַּדַּאי עַל הַדְּמַאי, תְּרוּמָה, וְלֹא תֵאָכֵל עַד שֶׁיּוֹצִיא עָלֶיהָ תְּרוּמוֹת וּמַעַשְׂרוֹת:

י"א
Bartenura

מן הדמאי על הדמאי – perhaps this was tithe and that [portion] was not tithed.

תרומה – it is not necessary to make things legally fit for use by giving the priestly gifts since it is doubtfully tithed, but most of those who do not observe certain religious customs regarding tithes do tithe (especially the Large Heave-Offering – the 1/50 portion to the Kohen, which otherwise brings the death penalty).

תרומה ולא תאכל – for it is similar to someone who separates for tithing from a perforated [pot] for something that comes from something that is not perforated (see the previous Mishnah) , from that which is liable [for tithing] on that which is exempt, for if the doubtfully tithed produce is tithe, it is found that the heave-offering are eatables forbidden pending the separation of sacred gifts according to the Torah, therefore, one should not eat of them.

מן הדמאי על הדמאי. דלמא האי מעושר והאי לא מעושר:

תרומה. ואין צריך לתקן את התרומה כיון דספק הוא ורוב עמי הארץ מעשרים הן:

מן הודאי על הדמאי תרומה ולא תאכל. דהוי דומיא דמפריש מן הנקוב על שאינו נקוב מן החיוב על הפטור. שאם הדמאי מעושר נמצאת התרומה טבל דאורייתא הלכך לא תאכל:
