יום אחד האמור באותו ואת בנו כו׳ לפי שפרשת אותו ואת בנו סמוכה לקדשים, דכתיב ירצה לקרבן אשה, וסמיך ליה אותו ואת בנו. ובקדשים לילה הולך אחר היום, דכתיב (ויקרא ז׳:ט״ו) ביום קרבנו יאכל לא יניח ממנו עד בוקר, אלמא לילה שלאחריו קרוי יום קרבנו עד הבוקר. יכול אף זה כן [נאמר כאן יום אחר] ונאמר במעשה בראשית יום אחד וכו׳:

חולין פרק ו׳ משנה א׳
Bartenura
כיסוי הדם כו' – because it was necessary to teach [in the Mishnah] with non-consecrated–profane things but not with sanctified–dedicated things, it took all of them.
במוקדשין – the sin-offering of fowl and the burnt-offering of fowl, and similarly things sanctified for the repair of the Temple, if he transgressed and slaughtered them, they do not require covering [of the blood].
ונוהג בחיה ובעוף – to exclude cattle as you would not say that the cattle is included among wildlife, and we derive it from what it is written regarding a firstborn having a blemish (Deuteronomy 15:23): “ [Only you must not partake of its blood;] you shall pour it out on the ground like water.” Just as water does not require covering, even the blood of cattle do not require covering.
במזומן – fowl that grows in the house.
ונוהג בכוי – it is a creature of its own and the Sages did not determine if it is [a kind of] wildlife that would require covering [of the blood], [or] if it is cattle and does not require covering [of its blood].
ואין שוחטין אותו ביו"ט – because perhaps it requires covering [of its blood] and out of doubt, we don’t violate [the sanctity] of the Yom Tov–Jewish holy day.
ואם שחטו ביו"ט אין מכסים את דמו – and even if there was dust prepared or ashes, lest the person who sees it will say that it is definitely wildlife and therefore, he covered its blood on the Jewish holy day, and he will come to permit its fat.
כיסוי הדם כו׳ משום דבעי למתני בחולין אבל לא במוקדשין, נקט לכולהו:
במוקדשין. חטאת העוף ועולת העוף. וכן קדשי בדק הבית אם עבר ושחטן אין טעונים כיסוי:
ונוהג בחיה ובעוף. למעוטי בהמה. דלא תימא בהמה בכלל חיה. ונפקא לן מדכתיב בבכור בעל מום (דברים ט״ו:כ״ג) על הארץ תשפכנו כמים, מה מים אינן טעונין כיסוי אף דם בהמה אינו טעון כיסוי:
במזומן. עוף הגדל בבית:
ונוהג בכוי. בריה בפני עצמה היא ולא הכריעו בה חכמים אם חיה היא וטעונה כיסוי אם בהמה ואינה טעונה כיסוי:
ואין שוחטים אותו ביו״ט. משום דלמא בעי כיסוי, ומספיקא לא מחללינן יום טוב:
ואם שחטו ביו״ט אין מכסין את דמו. ואפילו היה לו עפר מוכן או אפר. שמא יאמר הרואה, חיה ודאי הוא ולפיכך כסה דמו ביו״ט, ויבוא להתיר חלבו:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?
Mishnah Yomi is a daily study program where participants study two mishnayot (individual teachings from the Mishnah) every day. By following this program, one can complete the entire Mishnah in about six years.
What is the Mishnah?
The Mishnah is the first major written collection of Jewish oral traditions, forming the basis of the Talmud. It dates back to around 200 CE and consists of teachings and discussions of Jewish law by various rabbis.
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.

יום אחד האמור באותו ואת בנו כו' – because the portion of “the animal and its young” (Leviticus 22:28) is adjacent to the sacrifice, and it is written (Leviticus 22:27): “[ad from the eighth day on] it shall be acceptable as a gift to [the LORD],” and adjacent to it, “the animal and its young” (Leviticus 22:28). But with Holy Things, the night follows after the day, as it is written (Leviticus 7:15): “[And the flesh of his thanksgiving sacrifice of well-being] shall be eaten on the day that it is offered; none of it shall be set aside until morning.” So we see that the night that is after it is called the “on the day...until morning.” It is possible that even this is the case [it is stated here, “one day”] and it is stated in the Creation story (Genesis 1:5): “[And there was evening and there was morning] the first day.”
