Introduction[edit]

This mishnah continues with listing prohibitions that would make one liable for lashes.

Hebrew Text[edit]

הטמא שאכל את הקדש, והבא אל המקדש טמא, והאוכל חלב, ודם, ונותר, ופגול, וטמא, השוחט והמעלה בחוץ, והאוכל חמץ בפסח, והאוכל והעושה מלאכה ביום הכפורים, והמפטם את השמן, והמפטם את הקטרת, והסך בשמן המשחה, והאוכל נבלות וטרפות, שקצים ורמשים.
אכל טבל ומעשר ראשון שלא נטלה תרומתו, ומעשר שני והקדש שלא נפדו.
כמה יאכל מן הטבל ויהא חיב, רבי שמעון אומר כל שהוא, וחכמים אומרים כזית.
אמר להם רבי שמעון, אין אתם מודים לי באוכל נמלה [ כל ] שהוא חיב.
אמרו לו, מפני שהיא כבריתה.
אמר להן, אף חטה אחת כבריתה.

English Translation[edit]

Somebody tamei (ritually impure) that ate from a sacrificial offering, someone who came into the temple while tamei, someone who eats forbidden fats of an animal, blood of an animal, nosar (parts from a sacrificial offering outside of the allowed timeframe), pigul (parts from a sacrificial offering that the priest involved in the service had the intention to eat outside of the allowed time), or sacrificial parts that were tamei, someone who sacrificed and offered [an animal] outside of the temple, someone who ate leaven products on Passover, someone who ate or performed work on Yom Kippur, someone who creates their own anointing oil, someone who creates their own ketores, someone who anoints themselves with the anointing oil, someone who eats from carcasses, tereifos, or insects [is liable for lashes].
Someone that eats untithed produce, or maaser rishon that wasn't tithed, or maaser sheini or hekdesh (consecrated for the temple) that wasn't redeemed [is liable for lashes].
How much untithed produce must one eat to be liable [for lashes]? Rabbi Shimon says "any amount", and the Rabbis say the volume of an olive.
Rabbi Shimon said to them, "Don't you agree with me that if someone eats a tiny ant that he is liable [for lashes]?"
They said to him, "because that is how it was created."
He said back to them, "A single wheat kernel is also how it was created"
