משמתו נביאים הראשונים. כל הנביאים נקראים נביאים ראשונים, חוץ מחגי זכריה ומלאכי וחבריהן דאחרונים נינהו, שהיו בבנין בית שני:
בטל השמיר. כמין תולעת, ברייתו בשעורה. שהיו מראים אותו על האבנים הרשומות בדיו והן נבקעות מאיליהן, ובו פיתחו אבני האפוד והחושן, דכתיב בהו במלואותם שיהיו שלימות שלא יחסרו בהם אלא כותב עליהן בדיו ומראה להם שמיר על פני הדיו בחוץ:
ונופת צופים. דבש הבא ממקום ששמו, ציפיאה, ומשובח מאד:
ופסקו אנשי אמנה. אנשים שמאמינים בהקדוש ברוך הוא:

הטהרה בטלה את הטעם. טהרה שפסקה מישראל, בטלה טעם הפירות וריחם. שבזמן שהיו ישראל טהורים ועוסקים בטהרה אף הקב״ה היה מטהר את הפירות מטעם רע וריח רע:
מעשר בטל שומן דגן. דמעשר איקרי חלב, כדכתיב (במדבר י״ח:י״ב) כל חלב יצהר:
