Et ce sont eux qui reçoivent des rayures [pas seulement «ceux-ci». Car le tanna enseigne (ceux-ci) et omet beaucoup de ceux qui reçoivent des galons. Mais il nous apprend à ceux qui sont sujets à kareth à nous informer que des coups sont obtenus avec ceux qui sont sujets à kareth. Et il nous apprend une veuve-divorcée pour nous informer qu'il y a responsabilité civile dans ce cas en raison de deux exhortations. Et il nous enseigne le niveau et la première dîme dont la terumah n'a pas été séparée, parce que leur exhortation n'est pas explicitement énoncée. De même, hekdesh (nourriture dédiée) qui n'a pas été rachetée. Et comme il enseigne le hekdesh, il enseigne la deuxième dîme, les rayures obtenant les deux à cause de la non-rédemption. De même, avec tout, il y a une nouveauté (dont on nous apprend)]: celui qui vit avec sa sœur, avec la sœur de son père, avec la sœur de sa mère, avec la sœur de sa femme, avec la femme de son frère, avec la femme de le frère de son père, avec une niddah (une femme en état menstruel), un grand prêtre qui vit avec une veuve, un prêtre ordinaire qui vit avec une divorcée ou avec une chalutzah, un Israélite qui vit avec un mamzereth (la question de relations illicites) ou avec un Nethinah [un descendant des Giveonites, (une relation) sujet à des rayures en raison de (Deutéronome 7: 3): "Ne vous mariez pas avec eux."], et une femme israélite qui vit avec un Nathin ou un mamzer. (Un grand prêtre qui vit avec) une veuve-divorcée qui avait été veuve d'un autre homme] est passible de meurtrissures en raison de deux exhortations, toutes deux (divorcée et veuve) étant indiquées dans l'Écriture, et toutes deux exhortées contre.] ( Un Cohein qui vit avec) une chalutzah divorcée [c'est-à-dire une chalutzah divorcée] est passible de rayures en raison d'une seule exhortation. [Il n'est pas responsable en raison de deux exhortations, car chalutzah n'est pas explicitement énoncée, mais dérivée de l'addition ("et"), à savoir. (Lévitique 21: 7): "Une femme divorcée"—Cela ne me dit qu'une divorcée. Quand puis-je obtenir une chalutzah (comme également interdit)? De: "et une femme a divorcé."]
Bartenura on Mishnah Makkot
אלו הן הלוקין – not exactly these, for the Mishnah taught and left out many of those who were to be flogged, but since the Mishnah taught those who were liable for extirpation, to teach us that there is flogging with those liable for extirpation, and the Mishnah taught a widow and a divorcee, to teach us that a widow who is also a divorcee is liable upon her two titles. , And it is taught [in Mishnah 2 of this chapter] that eatables forbidden pending the separation of sacred gifts and First Tithe when priest’s due had not been taken, but it doesn’t explain their explicit prohibition clearly, and similarly, property dedicated to the Temple that had not been redeemed, for since the Mishnah taught about property dedicated to the Temple, it taught [about] the Second Tithe, for both of them [are punishable] by flogging because of lack of redemption, and similarly with most of them there is a side that is novel.

English Explanation of Mishnah Makkot
Introduction
The final chapter of Makkoth discussed those who are liable to be flogged. There are three reasons that a person is flogged: 1) one who transgresses a Biblical law for which the penalty is kareth (heavenly excommunication). According to the Rabbis one who was flogged is not penalized by kareth, considered to be a more serious punishment. 2) One who transgresses a Biblical law which is punishable by death by the hands of Heaven. 3) One who transgresses a Biblical negative commandment, provided the transgression was active. Our chapter lists many categories of those who are to flogged but the list is not exhaustive.

English Explanation of Mishnah Makkot
An Israelite who marries a mamzereth or natinah, or an Israelite woman who is married to a mamzer or a natin. This section lists marriages forbidden to ordinary Israelites. A mamzer or mamzereth (a female mamzer), mentioned in Deuteronomy 23:3, is one born of a forbidden union which carries with it a punishment of kareth or death. A natin or natina (a female natin) is a descendent of the Gibeonites, those who tricked Joshua into accepting them as converts, upon which he declared them to be woodchoppers and water-drawers and forbade them to marry ordinary Israelites (Joshua 9:27).

גרושה – and she is a woman released from leviratical marriage, and he is not liable concerning her for two titles, for the woman released from leviratical marriage has no Jewish marriage contract, other than through extension of scope/amplification [of the Biblical passage] we bring it to her, as it is taught in a Baraita: “I don’t know anything about a divorcee other than the divorcee itself; a woman released from leviratical marriage, from where do I know it, as we learn, “and a woman” (Leviticus 18:18).

English Explanation of Mishnah Makkot
In the case of a [woman who is both] a divorcee and a widow [a high priest] is liable on two counts. But in the case of a [woman who is both] a divorcee and a halutzah, an ordinary priest is liable only on one count. A widow who is also a divorcee, i.e. her first husband died and her second husband divorced her, is forbidden to a high priest on two counts. If he were to marry such a woman he would be obligated to be flogged for each transgression, even though he did only one act. A divorcee and a halutzah (one who has been rejected by her levir, her dead husband’s brother) are forbidden to an ordinary priest. However, the prohibition of the halutzah to an ordinary priest is only a Rabbinic prohibition, not Biblical, as is the prohibition to a divorcee Therefore, an ordinary priest who marries a divorcee who is also a halutzah is only flogged for one transgression.
