Mishnayos Pesachim Perek 2 Mishnah 6

פסחים פרק ב׳ משנה ו׳

6

And these are the vegetables with which a person can fulfill his obligation to eat bitter herbs on Passover: One can fulfill his obligation with ḥazeret, with chervil [tamkha], and with field eryngo [ḥarḥavina], and with endives [olashin], and with maror. One fulfills his obligation with them whether they are fresh or whether they are dry. However, one does not fulfill his obligation if they are pickled in water or vinegar, nor if they are over-boiled [shaluk] in hot water, nor if they are boiled [mevushal]. The mishna adds: And all these different types of vegetables join together to the measure of an olive-bulk, i.e., it is not necessary to eat this amount from one specific type of vegetable. And one fulfills his obligation by eating their stalk, as it is not necessary to eat the leaves. And one fulfills the obligation with doubtfully tithed produce, with first-tithe produce whose teruma has been taken and given to a priest, and with both second-tithe produce and consecrated property that were redeemed.

וְאֵלּוּ יְרָקוֹת שֶׁאָדָם יוֹצֵא בָהֶן יְדֵי חוֹבָתוֹ בְּפֶסַח, בַּחֲזֶרֶת וּבְעֻלָשִׁין וּבְתַמְכָא וּבְחַרְחֲבִינָה וּבְמָרוֹר. יוֹצְאִין בָּהֶן בֵּין לַחִין בֵּין יְבֵשִׁין, אֲבָל לֹא כְבוּשִׁין וְלֹא שְׁלוּקִין וְלֹא מְבֻשָּׁלִין. וּמִצְטָרְפִין לְכַזָּיִת. וְיוֹצְאִין בַּקֶּלַח שֶׁלָּהֶן, וּבִדְמַאי, וּבְמַעֲשֵׂר רִאשׁוֹן שֶׁנִּטְּלָה תְרוּמָתוֹ, וּבְמַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי וְהֶקְדֵּשׁ שֶׁנִּפְדּוּ:

בחזרת – in Arabic CHASAH; L’ TU-GA in foreign language.

ובעולשים – in Arabic HANDA-BEE; and in the foreign language, AN-DEE-BEE. And in the Aruch, it is explained that it is a vegetable that in a foreign language is called KARSH-PEEL. (endives)

ובתמכה – fibrous substance (i.e., bast of the palm-tree) that grows around the palm tree.

ובחרחבינא – (creeper on palm trees) – EL-KARTZ-EE-NAH in Arabic.

ובמרור – a species of coriander which is most bitter.

בין לחים בין יבשים – and especially their stalks/stems – as we say at the end [of the Mishnah] that we fulfill [our religious obligation for bitter herbs] with them,, but leaves – moist, yes, but not drey.

כבושים – in vinegar

שלוקים – cooked too much until they become dissolved.

מבושלים – in the manner of cooking.

ומצטרפין לכזית – to fulfill the [religious] obligation of Maror/bitter herbs, and the same law applies with the five species of grain to fulfill the [religious] obligation of Matzah, and to both of them it applies.

בחזרת. בערבי חס״א לטוג״א בלע״ז:

ובעולשים. בערבי הנדב״י. ובלע״ז אנדיבי״א. והערוך פירש שהוא ירק שקורין לו בלע״ז קרשפי״ל:

ובתמכה. סיב הגדל סביבות הדקל:

ובחרחבינא. אלקרצעינ״א בערבי:

ובמרור. מין כוסברתא הוא מר ביותר:

בין לחים בין יבשים. דוקא בקלח שלהן, כדאמרינן בסיפא ויוצאים בקלח שלהן. אבל עלין, לחים אין, יבשים לא:

שלוקים. מבושלין יותר מדאי עד שנמוחים:

כבושים. בחומץ:

מבושלין. כדרך בישול:

ומצטרפין לכזית. לצאת ידי חובת מרור. והוא הדין בחמשת מיני דגן שמצטרפין בכזית לצאת ידי חובת מצה. ואתרווייהו קאי:
