Meilah 2:7 - 2:8

The Mishnah Yomi for Friday, March 13, 2026 is Meilah 2:7 - 2:8

Mishnah 1

Mishnayos Meilah Perek 2 Mishnah 7

מעילה פרק ב׳ משנה ז׳

7
One is liable for misuse of the shewbread, which is arranged on the Golden Table in the Sanctuary each Shabbat, from the moment that it was consecrated. Once it formed a crust in the oven it assumes the status of bread and its halakhic status is like that of offerings of the most sacred order after the animal was slaughtered, in that it was rendered susceptible to disqualification through contact with one who immersed that day, and through contact with one who has not yet brought an atonement offering, and it is rendered eligible for arrangement upon the Table in the Sanctuary. Once the bowls of frankincense brought with the shewbread of the previous week were sacrificed, one is liable to receive karet for eating the loaves due to violation of the prohibition of piggul, and the prohibition of notar, and the prohibition of partaking of consecrated food while ritually impure. But it is not subject to the halakhot of misuse, as at that point its consumption is permitted.
לֶחֶם הַפָּנִים, מוֹעֲלִין בּוֹ מִשֶּׁהֻקְדַּשׁ. קָרַם בַּתַּנּוּר, הֻכְשַׁר לְהִפָּסֵל בִּטְבוּל יוֹם וּבִמְחֻסַּר כִּפּוּרִים, וּלְהִסָּדֵר עַל גַּבֵּי הַשֻּׁלְחָן. קָרְבוּ הַבְּזִיכִין, חַיָּבִין עָלָיו מִשּׁוּם פִּגּוּל, נוֹתָר וְטָמֵא, וְאֵין בָּהֶן מְעִילָה:
ז׳

לחם הפנים – here also we don’t have the reading "ובלינה"/being left overnight, because it is baked on Friday (i.e., the Eve of the Sabbath) and is not consumed until the following Sabbath.

קרבו הבזיכין (when dishes of incense have been offered) – that is, its preliminary acts, that on Shabbat at the time of the removal of the bread, they would offer dishes of incense of frankincense.

ואין בו מעילה – for it was permitted to the Kohanim and its command had been performed.

לחם הפנים. הכא נמי לא גרסינן ביה ליפסל בלינה, שהרי נאפה בערב שבת ואינו נאכל עד לשבת האחרת:

קרבו בזיכים. היינו מכשיריו, שבשבת בשעת סילוק הלחם היו מקריבין הבזיכין של לבונה:

ואין בו מעילה. שהותר לכהנים ונעשית מצותו:

Mishnah 2

Mishnayos Meilah Perek 2 Mishnah 8

מעילה פרק ב׳ משנה ח׳

8
One is liable for misuse of the meal offerings from the moment that they were consecrated. Once they were consecrated through placement of the flour in a service vessel, they were rendered susceptible to disqualification for sacrifice through contact with one who immersed that day, and through contact with one who has not yet brought an atonement offering, and through its blood being left overnight. Once the handful taken from the meal offering was sacrificed, one is liable to receive karet for eating the meal offering due to violation of the prohibition of piggul, and the prohibition of notar, and the prohibition of partaking of consecrated food while ritually impure. And one is not liable for misuse of the remainder of the meal offering, which is eaten by the priests, but one is liable for misuse of the handful that is sacrificed, until it leaves to the place of the ashes.
הַמְּנָחוֹת, מוֹעֲלִין בָּהֶן מִשֶּׁהֻקְדְּשׁוּ. קָדְשׁוּ בַכְּלִי, הֻכְשְׁרוּ לִפָּסֵל בִּטְבוּל יוֹם וּבִמְחֻסַּר כִּפּוּרִים וּבְלִינָה. קָרַב הַקֹּמֶץ, חַיָּבִין עָלָיו מִשּׁוּם פִּגּוּל, נוֹתָר וְטָמֵא. וְאֵין מוֹעֲלִין בַּשְּׁיָרִים, אֲבָל מוֹעֲלִים בַּקֹּמֶץ עַד שֶׁיֵּצֵא לְבֵית הַדָּשֶׁן:
ח׳

המנחות מועלין בהן משהוקדשו – through the sanctification of the mouth [enunciating it].

ואין מועלין בשיריים – because there is a period of availability to the Kohanim.

אבל מועלין בקומץ (with the handful of the meal offering the priest takes to be put on the altar) = until it is burned completely and it leaves to the ash heap according to the law of the parts of the sin-offering and guilt-offering burned on the altar. And after that, there is no sacrilege with it, for its commandment had been performed.

המנחות מועלין בהן משהוקדשו. בקדושת פה:

ואין מועלין בשיריים. שיש בהן היתר לכהנים:

אבל מועלין בקומץ. עד שישרף כולו ויצא לבית הדשן כדין אימורי חטאת ואשם. ולאחר כן אין מועלין בו, דהא נעשית מצותו:
