שהשוחט להדיוט כו׳. השוחט קדשים בחוץ לאכילת הדיוט חייב:
המעלה בחוץ. לצורך הדיוט, פטור משום העלאת חוץ. דגבי שחיטה כתיב דם יחשב לאיש, אפילו השוחט לאיש. וגבי העלאה כתיב לעשות אותו לה׳, אינו חייב כשמעלהו בחוץ עד שיכוין בו לה׳:
ושחטו פטורים. דכתיב (שם י״ז) דם יחשב לאיש ההוא, אחד ולא שנים:
והעלוהו חייבין. דכתיב (שם) איש איש וגו׳ אשר יעלה כו׳, שאין תלמוד לומר איש איש, אלא לרבות שנים שאחזו באבר והעלוהו, שהן חייבין:
העלה. ונודע לו:
וחזר והעלה. מאותה בהמה עצמה, חייב על כל אחת ואחת:
עד שיעלה לראש המזבח. דכתיב (בראשית ח׳) ויבן נח מזבח לה׳. אלמא אפילו במת יחיד שהיא בחוץ אינה העלאה בלא מזבח:
אפילו העלה על הסלע. דכתיב (ויקרא י״ז) וזרק הכהן את הדם על מזבח ה׳ פתח אהל מועד, ולא מזבח בבמת יחיד. ובפרשת המעלה בחוץ כתיב. והלכה כר׳ יוסי:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Zevachim Perek 13 Mishnah 4
זבחים פרק י"ג משנה ד׳
Bartenura
שהיה פסולן בקדש – as for example (see Tractate Zevakhim, Chapter 9, Mishnah 2), a sacrifice kept overnight or goes forth [from its proper bounds or it was slaughtered [with the intention to burn the sacrificial parts or to eat the flesh] outside of its proper time or outside of its proper place, since inside , if they were inside [the Temple courtyard], if it went up, it should not go down, we call it that that has been accepted inside but he is liable for it outside, as it is written (Leviticus 17:9): “[And does not bring it to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting] to offer it to the LORD/לעשות אתו לה', [that person shall be cut off from his people],”all that is offered/done for God, we are liable for outside [of the Temple courtyard], but all that is not offered/done for God, we are not liable for it outside [the Temple courtyard].
המעלה כזין מן העולה ומאימורין – half an olive’s bulk from this (i.e., the burnt offering) and half an olive’s bulk from that (i.e., the sacrificial parts offered on the altar).
חייב – for all of it is a sacrifice burned entirely.
הלבונה – of the meal-offering of the free-will offering.
והקטורת – of each day, half of it in the morning and half of it at twilight.
ומנחת כהנים – a sacrifice which is burned entirely and appropriate for offering up like a fistful of the meal-offering of an Israelite. But the remnants of the meal-offering of an Israelite are not liable on their being brought up outside [the Temple courtyard].
מנחת כהן משיח – one-tenth of an Ephah which he brings on each day.
כזית – which is the measurement of the incense.
עד שיקריב את כולו – because he (i.e., Rabbi Eliezer) holds that all which make the sacrifice permissible for enjoyment invalidate that which is lacking/wanting, and all the time that all of them were not offered the incense does not fulfill their owners’ spiritual obligation. But according to the Rabbis, these also is their burning on the altar/rising in smoke with an olive’s bulk, where all of it exists and they were not lacking prior to the burning on the altar.
ושייר מהן וכו' חייב – for behold through this the burning on the altar/letting rise in smoke is completed/
שחסרו כל שהן – prior to the burning on the altar through loss or burning, they were invalidated by their missing parts, as it is written (Leviticus 2:3): “And the remainder of the grain offering [shall be for Aaron and his sons, a most holy portion from the LORD’s gifts],” except for that which was missing, or that a handful was missing prior to the burning on the altar.
שהיה פסולן בקדש. כגון הלן והיוצא והנשחט חוץ לזמנו וחוץ למקומו, הואיל ובפנים אם עלו לא ירדו, מתקבל בפנים קרינן ביה וחייבין עליהן בחוץ, דכתיב (שם) לעשות אותו לה׳, כל הנעשה לה׳ חייבין עליו בחוץ, וכל שאינו נעשה לה׳ אין חייבין עליו בחוץ:
המעלה כזית מן העולה ומאימורין. חצי זית מזה וחצי זית מזה:
חייב. דכולה כליל:
הלבונה. של מנחת נדבה:
והקטורת. של כל יום פרס שחרית ופרס בין הערבים:
ומנחת כהנים. שהיא כליל וראויה להעלאה כקומץ של מנחת ישראל. אבל שיירי מנחת ישראל אינו חייב על העלאתן בחוץ:
מנחת כהן משיח. עשירית האיפה שהוא מביא בכל יום:
כזית. דהיינו שיעור הקטרה:
עד שיקריב את כולן. דקסבר כל המתירין מפסלי בחסרון, וכל זמן שלא קרבו כולן לא הויא הקטרה לצאת בעלים ידי חובתן. ולרבנן הני נמי הוי הקטרתן בכזית, היכא דכולו קיים ולא חסרו קודם הקטרה:
ושייר מהן וכו׳ חייב. שהרי בזה נגמרה הקטרה:
וכולן שחסרו כל שהן. קודם הקטרה על ידי איבוד או שריפה, נפסלו בחסרונן, דכתיב (ויקרא ב׳:ג׳) והנותרת מן המנחה, פרט לשחסרה היא או שחסר קומצה קודם הקטרה:

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.

שהשוחט להדיוט כו' - a person who ritually slaughters Holy Things outside [the Temple courtyard] for consumption by an ordinary person [as opposed to for God alone], is liable.
המעלה בחוץ – for the needs of an ordinary person, is exempt because of offering it up outside [the Temple courtyard]. For regarding ritual slaughter, it is written (Leviticus 17:4): “[And does not bring it to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD, before the LORD’s Tabernacle,] bloodguilt shall be imputed to that man, [he has shed blood; that man shall be cut off from among his people],” even a person who does ritual slaughter for a person. And regarding offering it up, it is written (Leviticus 17:9): “[and does not bring it to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting] to offer it to the LORD, [that person shall be cut off from his people],” he is not liable when he offers it up outside [the Temple courtyard] until he should intend it to be for God.
ושחטו פטורים – as it is written (Leviticus 17:4): “ דם יחשב לאיש ההוא/bloodguilt shall be imputed to that man – האיש ההוא" ,” one person and not two.
והעלוהו חייבין – as it is written (Leviticus 17:8): “[Say to them further:] If anyone/איש איש of the house of Israel ]or of the strangers who reside among them[ אשר יעלה/offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,” for the inference does not teach us "איש איש"/if anyone – other than to include two who took hold of a limb and offered it up, that they are liable.
העלה – and it became known to him.
וחזר והעלה – from the same animal itself, he is liable [for a sin offering] for each and every time.
עד שיעלה לראש המזבח – as it is written (Genesis 8:20): “Then Noah built an altar to the LORD [and, taking of every pure animal and of every pure bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar],” so we see even the temporary altar of an individual that is outside is not offering up without an altar.
אפילו העלה על הסלע – as it is written (Leviticus 17:6): “that the priest may dash the blood against the altar of the LORD at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting [to offer it to the LORD, that person shall be cut off from his people],” but not at the altar of a temporary personal altar. And it is written in the portion of one offering outside [the Temple courtyard]. But the Halakha is according is according to Rabbi Yossi.
