הרי זה לא מעל. בגמרא מוקי לה בגזבר של הקדש, שהאבן והקורה של הקדש היו מסורות בידו מתחילה, וכי נטלן לעצמו עדיין הם ברשות הקדש, דכל היכא דמטלטל להו בביתיה הוו ברשות הקדש כבתחילה. אבל כי נתנה לחברו, הוציאה מרשותו ושינה מהקדש לחול ומעל, וחבירו לא מעל שכבר יצאה לחולין:
בנאה בתוך ביתו. לא בנאה ממש, דאם כן הרי נהנה מיד שהוסיף בבנין ביתו. אלא כגון שנתנה על פי ארובה שלא בבנין, דהשתא אין לו הנאה עד שידור תחתיה ויהנה בה בשוה פרוטה, כגון שהיו פירותיו נתונים תחת הארובה, והיו גשמים דולפים עליהם, וסתם פי ארובה באבן של הקדש, כיון שהגין עליהן בשוה פרוטה, מעל:
נתנה לבלן. כדי שיניחנו לרחוץ בבית המרחץ:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Meilah Perek 5 Mishnah 5
מעילה פרק ה׳ משנה ה׳
Bartenura
אכילתו ואכילת חברו – he ate one-half a measure and fed his fellow one-half a measure, or he benefitted one-half a measure and caused his fellow to benefit one-half a measure. And similarly, his benefit and the eating of his fellow, such as an amount which is one-half a measurement and his fellow ate half-a measurement or the opposite, all these combine to make him liable for a guilt-offering for sacrilege.
ואפילו לזמן מרובה – as for example, that he ate one-half of a measurement today and one-half of a measurement the next day in one act of forgetfulness, or he ate or benefitted like one-half a measurement today and he friend or caused his fellow to benefit like a half-measurement for the morrow, they combine and even for an extended period of time, and as long as they would be in one act of forgetfulness, as it is written (Leviticus 5:15): “ When a person commits a trespass,” nevertheless, that he will commit a religious trespass, he would be liable for a guilt offering.
אכילתו ואכילת חברו. אכל הוא חצי שיעור והאכיל את חברו חצי שיעור, או נהנה הוא חצי שיעור וההנה את חברו חצי שיעור, וכן הנאתו ואכילת חברו, כגון סך הוא חצי שיעור וחבירו אכל חצי שיעור, או איפכא, כל אלו מצטרפים לחייבו אשם מעילות:
ואפילו לזמן מרובה. כגון שאכל חצי שיעור היום וחצי שיעור למחר בהעלם אחד, או שאכל או נהנה כחצי שיעור היום והאכיל או ההנה את חברו כחצי שיעור למחר, מצטרפים ואפילו לזמן מרובה, ובלבד שיהיו בהעלם אחד, דכתיב (ויקרא ה׳:ט״ו) כי תמעול מעל, מכל מקום שתמעול נתחייב באשם:

הרי זה לא מעל – In the Gemara (Tractate Meilah 20a), it establishes it with the treasurer of the that which is consecrated, as they were the stone or beam that were transmitted to his hand from the outset, but when he took them for himself, they still were in the domain of that which is consecrated, for where he carried them in his house, they were in the domain of the consecrated as at first, but if he gave it to his fellow, he removed it from his domain and changed it from that which is consecrated to unconsecrated and he committed religious sacrilege, but his fellow did not commit sacrilege for it had already gone to unconsecrated matters.
בנאה בתוך ביתו – he didn’t build it within the structure of his house in actuality , for if so, he would benefit immediately when he added it to the building of his house. But rather, as for example, when he placed it in the aperture in the roof looking to the ground floor that is not in the building, for now, he has no benefit until he will live underneath it and benefit from it the equivalent of a penny, such as that his produce were placed underneath the aperture in the roof, but rains were dripping upon them, but he closed the mouth of the aperture in the roof with a sanctified stone, since it protected them for the equivalent of a penny, he committed religious sacrilege.
נתנה לבלן – in order that he would permit him to bathe in the bathhouse.
