האונאה ארבעה כסף. למקח סלע שהוא עשרים וארבע מעות כסף. נמצא האונאה שתות כדאמרן. וחזר ושנאה משום דבעי למתני הטענה שתי כסף:
והטענה שתי כסף. שאין שבועת הדיינים על טענה שהיא פחותה משתי כסף, שטענו שוה שתי מעות כסף יש לי בידך, וזה יודה לו מהם שוה פרוטה ויכפור השאר, או יודה לו הכל ויכפור פרוטה:
וההודאה שוה פרוטה. להיות הודאה במקצת ויתחייב שבועה:
המוצא שוה פרוטה. אבל בציר מהכי אינו חייב להכריז, דכתיב (דברים כ״ב:ג׳) אשר תאבד ממנו, פרט לאבדה שאין בה שוה פרוטה:
יוליכנו אחריו. אם הודה שנשבע לשקר, דאז אין לו כפרה עד שיחזירנו לידו ממש ולא ליד שלוחו, דכתיב (במדבר ה׳:ז׳) ונתן לאשר אשם לו:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Bava Metzia Perek 4 Mishnah 8
בבא מציעא פרק ד׳ משנה ח׳
Bartenura
האוכל תרומה – the Great [Priest’s Due] (i.e., 2%). A foreigner (i.e., non-Kohen) who ate the Great Terumah/Priest’s Due.
ותרומת מעשר – a tithe from a tithe (i.e., the gift that the Levite gives to a Kohen – one-tenth of what he receives).
ותורמת מעשר של דמאי – He who purchases grain from an ignoramus, needs to separate the tenth-of-a-tenth, but not the Great Priest’s Due, for everyone was careful with it.
וחלה וביכורים – all of these five are one, and all of them are called “Terumah”/Priest’s Due, and from one denomination they come.
נטע רבעי – he derives "קודש"/”holy” (Leviticus 19:27) from "קודש" /”holy” (Leviticus 27:30) from Second Tithe, that one adds one fifth, and both of them are all considered one thing, since from one Biblical verse they are derived, since they are derived from Second Tithe.
ומעשר שני שלו – exactly, and he adds one-fifth, since it is written (Leviticus 27:31): “[If anyone wishes to redeem] any of his tithes, he must add one fifth to them.”
הקדשו – and not of others, for the word "המקדיש"/”who consecrates (Leviticus 27:19 – “And if he who consecrates the land wishes to redeem it, he must add one-fifth to the sum at which it was assessed, and it shall pass to him.”) is written.
הנהנה – inadvertently, is liable for a sacrifice of sacrilege (i.e., unlawful use of sacred property) and one-fifth.
האוכל תרומה. גדולה. זר שאכל תרומה גדולה בשוגג:
ותרומת מעשר. מעשר מן המעשר:
ותרומת מעשר של דמאי. הלוקח תבואה מעם הארץ, צריך להפריש תרומת מעשר, אבל לא תרומה גדולה, שהיו הכל זהירים בה:
והחלה והבכורים. כל הני חמשה חד נינהו, דכולהו איקרו תרומה, ומשם אחד הם באין:
נטע רבעי. גמר קודש קודש ממעשר שני דמוסיף חומש. ותרווייהו נמי חד חשיב להו, דמחד קרא נפקי כיון דממעשר יליף:
ומעשר שני שלו. דוקא. מוסיף חומש, דאיש ממעשרו כתיב:
הקדשו. ולא של אחרים, המקדיש כתיב:
הנהנה. בשוגג, חייב קרבן מעילה וחומש:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. 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. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

האונאה ארבעה כסף – for the purchase of a Selah which is a twenty-four silver Ma’ot. It is found that fraud is one-sixth as we have said. And [the Tanna of the Mishnah] repeated it because he had to teach about pleas/claims which are two silver Ma’ot (see Mishnah Shevuot, Chapter 6, Mishnah 1).
הטענה שתי כסף – for there is no oath imposed by the judges on a claim which is less than two silver [M’ah], for his plea is equivalent to two silver M’ah that I have in your hand, and he would admit from them the equivalent of a Perutah/penny, and denies the rest, or he admits to the entire thing and denies a Perutah.
ההודאה שוה פרוטה – to be a partial admission that he would be liable to take an oath.
המוצא שוה פרוטה – but less than this, he is not obligated to announce, as it is written (Deuteronoomy 22:3): “[…and so too shall you do with anything] that your fellow loses [and you find: you must not remain indifferent],” except for a lost object that is not worth the equivalent of a Perutah.
יוליכנו אחריו – if he admit that he swore falsely, for then, he has no atonement until he actually returns it to his hand, and not to the hand of his agent, as it is written (Numbers 5:7): “…giving to him who he has wronged.”
