Комментарий к Менахот 13:1
הֲרֵי עָלַי עִשָּׂרוֹן, יָבִיא אֶחָד. עֶשְׂרוֹנִים, יָבִיא שְׁנָיִם. פֵּרַשְׁתִּי וְאֵינִי יוֹדֵעַ מַה פֵּרַשְׁתִּי, יָבִיא שִׁשִּׁים עִשָּׂרוֹן. הֲרֵי עָלַי מִנְחָה, יָבִיא אֵיזוֹ שֶׁיִּרְצֶה. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, יָבִיא מִנְחַת הַסֹּלֶת, שֶׁהִיא מְיֻחֶדֶת שֶׁבַּמְּנָחוֹת:
[Тот, кто говорит: «Я беру на себя иссарон [особая мера сухого объема]» - он должен принести его. « эсроним » - он должен принести два. «Я уточнил, но я не знаю, что я указал», - он должен принести 60 иссарон . Если он сказал: «Я возьму на себя хлебную жертву» - он может принести тот тип, который захочет. Раввин Иегуда говорит: он должен принести хлебную муку мелкого помола, потому что это самая особенная хлебная жертва.

English Explanation of Mishnah Menachot
Introduction
The entire thirteenth and final chapter of Menahot is concerned with a person who obligates himself to bring something to the Temple. The issue at hand is how to interpret his words in order to ensure that he fulfills his pledge.

Bartenura on Mishnah Menachot
יביא ששים עשרונים – for if he vowed less than this, it does not matter to him, for it teaches [in the Mishnah] and he states: “What that I expressly said will be for my vow, and the rest will be for a free-will offering.” But more than this one does not have to supply, for one meal-offering is not larger than sixty Issarons (see Tractate Menahot, Chapter 12, Mishnah 4).

English Explanation of Mishnah Menachot
[One who says], “I take upon myself to bring a tenth,” he must bring one [tenth]. This is the general and a bit obvious introduction to the rest of the Mishnah. If someone pledges to bring a tenth of flour as a minhah to the Temple, then he must bring one tenth.

English Explanation of Mishnah Menachot
“Tenths,” he must bring two [tenths]. If he uses the plural, “tenths,” then he must bring at least two tenths, because the minimum number of “tenths” is two.

Bartenura on Mishnah Menachot
יביא איזה שירצה – from the five meal offerings (explained in the Torah: choice flour, in a deep and covered pan, in a pan – without a lid, baked loaves and baked wafers).

English Explanation of Mishnah Menachot
[If he said,] “I specified [a certain number of tenths] but I do not know what number I specified,” he must bring sixty tenths In this case, he remembers having specified a certain number of tenths, but he doesn’t remember how many tenths he specified. We must be concerned that he pledged to bring the maximum number of tenths possible. Therefore, he must bring sixty tenths, which as we learned in 12:4, is the largest number of tenths that a person can bring in one vessel.

Bartenura on Mishnah Menachot
מיוחדת – which is called a mere meal/grain-offering, but it does not have a differentiating epithet, for all of the rest of the meal/grain-offerings have a differentiating epithet, the meal offering of the pan-without a lid, the meal-offering of the deep covered pan, the meal-offering that is baked. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.

English Explanation of Mishnah Menachot
[If he said,] “I take upon myself to bring a minhah,” he may bring whichever kind he chooses. Rabbi Judah says: he must bring a minhah of fine flour, for that is the distinctive [one] among the menahot. In this case a person pledges to bring a minhah, but doesn’t specify what kind of minhah he intends to bring. As explained in the introduction, and as we shall see in tomorrow’s mishnah, there are five different kinds of menahot. According to the first opinion, the person can bring any minhah because we assume that he didn’t have any specific minhah in mind. In other words, he must have meant to just bring any minhah and therefore that is exactly what he can do. Rabbi Judah says that he must bring a minhah of fine flour, for the Torah calls the minhah of fine flour “a minhah” without any accompanying name (see Leviticus 2:1). When it comes to other types of menahot, they all have an accompanying name, for instance “a minhah baked in an oven” (Leviticus 2:4). We can assume that had he wanted to bring such a minhah, he would have been more specific.
