עוברים משום לא תתן וכו׳ מלוה עובר בכולן. לוה עובר משום בל תשיך, שהוא לשון מפעיל לאחרים, לא תגרום שאחיך ישוך, ועובר על ולאחיך לא תשיך, ולפני עור לא תתן מכשול. ערב ועדים עוברים על לא תשימון עליו נשך בלבד:

Mishnayos Bava Metzia Perek 6 Mishnah 1
בבא מציעא פרק ו׳ משנה א׳
Bartenura
השוכר. והטעו זה את זה – One of the artisans whom the owner sent to hire his fellows and he deceived them, as for example: the boss told him to hire each person for four denars per day, and he went and hired them for three [denars per day], they have no recourse against him other than a complaint. For it was understood and accepted/agreed [that employment was to be offered] at three [denars per day], but they can say to him: you have nothing [quoting](Proverbs 3:27): “Do not withhold good from one who deserves it [when you have the power to do it (for him)]. Another interpretation of “they deceived one another”: They retracted and they didn’t want to go and do the work of the boss as they had been hired to do, or the owner [himself] retracted, such as if he said to them: I have no need for you this morning prior to their going out to the work.
ואת הקרר – it is read with a “reish,” that is to say, the owner of the wagon.
פרייפרין – planed wood to make a frame and hangings of a palanquin (especially for a bride in the wedding procession).
מקום שאין שם אדם – that he does not find workers to hire and the flax is lost.
שוכר עליהם – people according to the measure of their salary, but not greater than the measure of their salary.
או מטען – he says that he will give them an extra zuz, but he doesn’t give them other than what he stipulated at first.
השוכר. והטעו זה את זה. אחד מן האומנין ששלחו בעה״ב לשכור את חביריו והטעה אותם, כגון שאמר לו בעל הבית לשכור כל א׳ בארבעה דינרים ליום, והלך הוא ושכרם בשלשה, אין להם עליו אלא תרעומת, דהא סבור וקביל בשלשה, אלא שיכולים לומר לו לית לך אל תמנע טוב מבעליו. פירוש אחר, הטעו זה את זה, שחזרו בהם ולא רצו ללכת לעשות מלאכתו של בעה״ב כמו ששכרו עמו, או בעה״ב חזר בו כגון שאמר להם אי אפשי בכם בבוקר קודם שילכו אצל המלאכה:
ואת הקרר. ברי״ש גרסינן, כלומר בעל הקרון:
פרייפרין. עצים משופין לעשות אפריון:
חלילים. למת או לחתן:
המשרה. מים ששורין בהן פשתן:
מקום שאין שם אדם. שהוא אינו מוצא פועלים לשכור והפשתן אבד:
שוכר עליהם. בני אדם כשיעור שכרן. אבל לא ביותר משיעור שכרן:
או מטען. אומר שיתן להם זוז. יתר, ואינו נותן אלא מה שהתנה מתחלה:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.

עוברים משום לא תתן וכו' – the lender transgresses in all of them; the borrower transgresses (Deuteronomy 23:20): “You shall not deduct interest from loans to your countrymen,” which is the language of activating others, that you should not cause that your brother will lend at interest, and he violates(Deuteronomy 23:21): “Do not deduct interest from loans to your countrymen”, and (Leviticus 19:14): “or place a stumbling block before the blind.” The guarantor and the witnesses transgress only on (Exodus 22:24):“Exact no interest from them.”
