Ebenso, wenn man Jerusalem verlassen hatte und sich daran erinnerte, dass er geweihtes Fleisch bei sich hatte [das durch sein Verlassen pasul (ungeeignet) wird, wobei die Mauer Jerusalems die (sanktionierte) Trennwand für Opfer niedrigerer Ordnung ist], wenn er hatte Tzofim [der Name eines Ortes, von dem aus der Tempel zu sehen ist] passiert, er verbrennt ihn an seiner Stelle [und er ist nicht gezwungen zurückzukehren]; wenn nicht, kehrt er zurück und verbrennt es vor dem Tempel mit Holz vom (Altar-) Holzstapel [geschrieben (3. Mose 6:23): "... an der heiligen Stätte. Es soll nicht gegessen werden; es soll verbrannt werden." mit Feuer"—Anstelle seines Essens brennt es.] Und für welche Menge [an erinnertem Chametz oder geweihtem Fleisch] kehrt er zurück? R. Meir sagt: Für beide die Größe eines Eies. [Aber wenn weniger—wenn chametz, macht er es in seinem Herzen ungültig; Wenn er Fleisch geweiht hat, verbrennt er es an seiner Stelle. R. Meir ist der Ansicht, dass "seine Rückkehr (dh die Notwendigkeit, aufgrund dessen zurückzukehren) wie seine Tumah ist" (Unreinheit). So wie die Tumah von Lebensmitteln die Größe eines Eies hat (Lebensmittel, die kleiner als diese Größe sind und nicht zu Tamei werden), so ist ihre Rückgabe nicht weniger als diese Menge.] R. Yehudah sagt: Für beide die Größe einer Olive . [Er ist der Ansicht, dass "seine Rückkehr als Verbot gilt"—So wie sein Verbot bei einer Olivengröße gilt (eine, die für das Essen einer Olivengröße von Chametz oder geweihtem Fleisch verantwortlich ist), so ist ihre Rückkehr für eine Olivengröße.] Und die Weisen sagen: Geweihtes Fleisch, für eine olivgrün; Chametz, für die Größe eines Eies. [Wegen der Schwerkraft, die an geweihtem Fleisch haftet, kehrt er sogar für eine olivgrüne Größe zurück; aber für Chametz, das Chullin ist, kehrt er nur für die Größe eines Eies zurück. Die Halacha entspricht den Weisen.]

English Explanation of Mishnah Pesachim
Similarly, he who went out of Jerusalem and remembered that he had holy meat with him: If he has passed Scopus, he burns it where he is; but if not, he returns and burns it in front of the Temple with the wood of the [altar] pile. Certain sacrifices, such as a thanksgiving offering, may be eaten anywhere in Jerusalem but may not be brought outside. If they are brought outside of Jerusalem they must be burnt. The person in this mishnah is leaving Jerusalem when he discovers that he has with him “holy meat” some sacrificial meat that he didn’t eat. According to the Mishnah, if he has passed Mt. Scopus, a mountain from which the Temple Mount can be seen (this is where Hebrew University is today), then he need not go back to the Temple and burn the meat there. However, if he still has not yet reached that point, he must return to the Temple and burn the sacrifice with the wood of the altar pile.

שורפו במקומו – and they don’t trouble him to return [to burn the Hametz or holy meat]

English Explanation of Mishnah Pesachim
And for what [quantity] must they return? Rabbi Meir says: for both when there is as much as an egg; Rabbi Judah says: for both, when there is as much as an olive; But the sages say: holy meat, when there is as much as an olive and chametz, when there is as much as an egg. The mishnah now asks about the two cases we have discussed in today’s and yesterday’s mishnah: sacrifices and chametz for the sake of what quantity must one return to burn/remove them? According to Rabbi Meir, the amount is the same for both a measure the size of an egg. The Talmud says that Rabbi Meir learns this from the laws of uncleanness just as food that is less than the size of an egg cannot become unclean, so too he need return only for this measure of sacrifice or chametz. Rabbi Judah disagrees (these guys do seem to always disagree) and holds that in both cases he need return for an amount the size of an olive, a smaller amount than an egg. The Talmud explains that Rabbi Judah learns this from the amount that is prohibited an amount the size of an olive is prohibited and therefore this is the minimum amount for which one must return. Finally, the sages differentiate between the two for sacred meat he must return for the smaller amount of an olive but for chametz he need only return for an egg’s amount.

ולאם לאו חוזר ושורפו – As it is written (Leviticus 6:23): “ [but no purification offering may be eaten from which any blood is brought into the Tent of Meeting for expiation] in the sanctuary; any such shall be consumed in fire.” In the place where he eats it, he burns it.

זה וזה – leaven as we have said above and mention that he has leaven in his house, etc., and Holy meat that is with him.

Bartenura on Mishnah Pesachim
כבחתה – but less than this (i.e., an egg’s bulk), he annuls it in his heart, and Holy meat he burns in his place. And Rabbi Meir holds that his return is like his defilement. Just as defilement through eatables is like that of an egg, for food cannot defile with less than an egg’s worth, so too, he does not return on something that is less than an egg’s worth.

Bartenura on Mishnah Pesachim
רבי יהודה אומר זה וזה בכזית – He holds that his return is like its prohibition. Just as its prohibition is an olive’s bulk-worth, for an a olive’s worth of leaven or of Holy meat, he is liable, so too, for a olive’s bulk, he returns.
Ask RabbiBookmarkShareCopy
Bartenura on Mishnah Pesachim
בשר קודש – because of the stringency of Holy meat, he returns even for an olive bulk’s worth. Leaven of non-sacred produce he does not go back other than on an egg’s bulk. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.
