שחט חיה יכסנה ואחר כך ישחוט את העוף. דכתיב (ויקרא י״ז:י״ג) חיה או עוף, הפסיק זה מזה, להטעין כיסוי לכל אחד ואחד. ורבנן סברי, האי או מיבעי ליה לחלק, דאי לאו או הוה אמינא אין צריך כיסוי אא״כ שחט שניהם. והכל מודים דלענין ברכה אינו מברך אלא ברכה אחת. ואין הלכה כרבי יהודה:
וראהו אחר חייב לכסות. דכתיב בפרשת כיסוי הדם, ואומר לבני ישראל, מצוה זו תהא על כל בני ישראל:
כסהו הרוח חייב לכסות. ולא שנו אלא שחזר ונתגלה, אבל לא חזר ונתגלה פטור מלכסות:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Chullin Perek 6 Mishnah 5
חולין פרק ו׳ משנה ה׳
Bartenura
נתערב ביין – which is red and the appearance of the blood is not recognized in it.
רואין אותו – [we view that] wine as if [it is] water, for if the appearance of blood was recognized in the water according to this measurement, he would be liable to cover [the blood].
נתערב בדם בהמה – which is not something covered, and the majority of it is the blood of a cattle.
או בדם חיה – the blood bled by an animal–beast of chase or deer.
רואין אותו – that it is not required to cover [the blood], as if it were water, but if this blood is from the ritual slaughter of an animal–beast of chase and fowl and it is recognized, one is required to cover it.
אין דם מבטל דם – and even if the appearance of blood is not recognized in the water like the blood of this cattle, the blood of animals–beasts of chase are not nullified, for he holds that a mixture of homogeneous things (of which one is forbidden), the rule of neutralization by quantity takes no effect (see Talmud Hullin 100a). But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
נתערב ביין. שהוא אדום ואין מראה הדם ניכר בו:
רואין אותו. יין כאילו הוא מים. ואם היה מראית דם ניכר במים כשיעור זה, חייב לכסות:
נתערב בדם בהמה. דלאו בר כיסוי הוא, ורובו דם בהמה:
או בדם החיה. בדם היקז של חיה:
רואין אותו. שאינו טעון כיסוי כאי, לו הוא מים. ואם היה הדם הזה של שחיטת חיה ועוף ניכר בו, חייב לכסות:
אין דם מבטל דם. ואפילו אין מראית דם ניכרת במים כמות דם בהמה זה, אין דם החיה בטל. דקסבר ר׳ יהודה מין במינו לא בטל. ואין הלכה כר׳ יהודה:

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.

שחט חיה יכסנה ואחר כך ישחוט את העוף – as it is written (Leviticus 17:13): “[And if any Israelite or any stranger who resides among them hunts down] an animal or a bird [that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with earth],” he interrupts from this one to the other one to put on a covering for each and every one. But the Rabbis think this or they require him to divide it, for it not, I would have said that there is no need to cover [the blood] unless he ritually slaughtered both of them. But everyone admits that regarding the blessing, he doesn’t recite other than one blessing, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
וראהו אחר חייב לכסות – as it is written in the portion of the covering of the blood, [and I say] (Leviticus 17:12): “[Therefore I say] to the Israelite people: [No person among you shall partake of blood],” this Mitzvah–commandment applies to all the Israelite people.
כסהו הרוח חייב לכסות – this Mishnah was learned only that he returned and it was revealed–exposed, but if he did not return and it was revealed, he is exempt from covering [the blood].
