אֵלּוּ הֵן הַמְמֻנִּין שֶׁהָיוּ בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ, יוֹחָנָן בֶּן פִּנְחָס עַל הַחוֹתָמוֹת, אֲחִיָּה עַל הַנְּסָכִים, מַתִּתְיָה בֶּן שְׁמוּאֵל עַל הַפְּיָסוֹת, פְּתַחְיָה עַל הַקִּנִּין. פְּתַחְיָה, זֶה מָרְדְּכָי. לָמָּה נִקְרָא שְׁמוֹ פְּתַחְיָה. שֶׁהָיָה פּוֹתֵחַ בִּדְבָרִים וְדוֹרְשָׁן, וְיוֹדֵעַ שִׁבְעִים לָשׁוֹן. בֶּן אֲחִיָּה עַל חוֹלֵי מֵעַיִם, נְחוּנְיָא חוֹפֵר שִׁיחִין, גְּבִינֵי כָרוֹז, בֶּן גֶּבֶר עַל נְעִילַת שְׁעָרִים, בֶּן בֵּבָי עַל הַפָּקִיעַ, בֶּן אַרְזָה עַל הַצִּלְצָל, הֻגְרַס בֶּן לֵוִי עַל הַשִּׁיר, בֵּית גַּרְמוּ עַל מַעֲשֵׂה לֶחֶם הַפָּנִים, בֵּית אַבְטִינָס עַל מַעֲשֵׂה הַקְּטֹרֶת, אֶלְעָזָר עַל הַפָּרוֹכוֹת, וּפִנְחָס עַל הַמַּלְבּוּשׁ:

Это назначенцы, которые были обозначены в Храме [Пятнадцать разновидностей назначения и положения, упомянутые в нашей Мишне, всегда получались в Храме. Люди, упомянутые здесь, не все жили одновременно; упоминаются самые святые и лучшие из всех поколений. Наши раввины объяснили, что так как назывались первые назначенцы, всех, кто пришел за ними, звали по имени]: Йоханан б. Pinchas над печатями и над мукой [будет объяснено ниже в Мишне], Achiyah над возлияниями, Matitya b. Шмуэль над лотами [чтобы учить порядок лотов; кто выполняет это служение, кто другой, как объяснено в Йома], Петачья над кинином (птицами),—[Те, у кого нет искупления, кто приносит обязательные приношения от птиц, горлиц и молодых голубей, вкладывают свои деньги в шофрот в Храме, а назначенцы над шофротом берут деньги и покупают за них кинин. Тот, кто был назначен над кинином, должен был быть великим мудрецом и экспертом, как сказано в Авоте (3:18): «Кинин и (определение) наступление нидды (менструального периода) являются основами галахи».] Петахья - это Мардохей. Почему его звали Петахья? Потому что он «раскрывал» слова, излагал их и свободно говорил на семидесяти языках. [Это «Мардохей Билшан» (Ездра 2: 2), который вышел из ссылки. Так его называли («бильшан»), потому что он ассимилировал (балал) много языков (лешонот)], Бен Акия из-за тех, кто страдает кишечными расстройствами [поскольку коханимы ходили босиком по полу и ели много мяса и пили воду, они подвергались кишечные расстройства, и они всегда нуждались в враче, чтобы выписать их.], Нечунии над ямами [Он был назначен для рытья ям и пещер, чтобы обеспечить питьевой водой фестивальных паломников], Гевини за прокламации [Гевини будет провозглашайте каждое утро в Храме: «Встань, Коханим, для твоего служения», и его голос мог быть услышан из Иерихона.] Бен Гевер, закрывающий двери [закрывающий их вечером и открывающий их утром], Бен Беваи над пикией [ремень, которым можно обвязать коэнов и левитов, спящих по ночам на часах своего Храма, как сказано в Миддоте 1: «Всякий, кто найден спящим, будет избит, а его одежда сожжена. Йерушалми объясняет« пикию »как фитили». для альты р и Бет Хашоева, как сказано (Сукка 5: 3): «Из изношенных бриджей коэнов и из их створок они сделали фитили (mafki'im pethiloth)»], Бен Арза над цилталь (цимбала) [как в (1-я Царств 3:11): «Два его уха будут« звенеть »(tetzilenah). Когда левиты услышали его звучание, они начали свою песню.], Хуграс б. Леви над песней [чтобы начать песню; и когда он придет к выводу, все они придут к выводу], Бет Гармо за приготовление хлеба для шоу, [который был в форме открытого сундука. Они были художниками в его приготовлении и выпекании, (эксперт в) извлекли его из духовки, не разбивая его и не обработав так, чтобы он не заплесневел.], Бет Автинас над приготовлением ладана [Они были экспертами в составлении благовония и были причастны к траве под названием "ma'aleh ashan" ("сборщик дыма"), которая при добавлении в пряности благовоний заставляла дым подниматься в колонне.], Элазар над парошетом ( Храмовые шторы) [чтобы сделать новые шторы, когда возникла такая необходимость], и Пинхас над гардеробом [Он был назначен одевать коанимов для службы и снимать одежду священника после службы и закреплять их в отсеках, отведенных им.]

Bartenura on Mishnah Shekalim

אלו הן הממונים – fifteen kinds of officers and appointment to authority that are considered in our Mishnah were the daily offering in the Temple. However, these men that are considered were not at the same time, but the pious and the worthy in each generation he would appoint. But my teachers explained on account that the first appointees were appointed for this – thus this was their names. Therefore, the ones who came after them were called by their name

English Explanation of Mishnah Shekalim

These were the officers in the Temple:
Yohanan the son of Pinchas was over the seals.
Ahiyah over the libations.
Mattityah the son of Shmuel over the lots.
Petahiah over the bird-offering. (Petahiah was Mordecai. Why was his name called Petahiah? Because he ‘opened’ matters and expounded them, and he understood the seventy.
The son of Ahijah over the sickness of the bowels.
Nehuniah, the digger of ditches.
Gevini, the crier.
The son of Gever over the locking of the gates.
The son of Bevai over the strips [for lighting the menorah].
The son of Arza over the cymbal.
Hugras the son of Levi over the song.
The house of Garmu over the making of the showbread.
The house of Avtinas over the preparing of the frankincense.
Elazar over the curtains.
And Pinchas over the priestly vestments.

This mishnah lists and names fifteen officers who performed various services in the Temple. There are various interpretations as to the names. Albeck explains that in every generation the officers who filled these functions were called by these names. Another explanation is that this is the list of the names of those who served in the Temple at the time when this mishnah was composed.
1) Yohanan the son of Pinchas was over the seals: This will be explained below in mishnayot 3-5.
2) Ahiyah over the libations: This too will be explained in mishnayot 3-5.
3) Mattityah the son of Shmuel over the lots: Lots were cast between the priests in order to determine who got to offer which sacrifice.
4) Petahiah over the bird-offering. (Petahiah was Mordecai. Why was his name called Petahiah? Because he ‘opened’ matters and expounded them, and he understood the seventy tongues): Petahiah sold bird-offerings to those who needed to bring them. The section in parentheses is a late addition to the mishnah that is missing from most manuscripts. Petahiah comes from the word “petach” which means to open and can refer to the opening of a midrashic sermon.
5) The son of Ahiyah over the sickness of the bowels: Many priests had gastrointestinal ailments. This is probably due to their frequent contact with raw meat and infected water. The son of Ahiyah was responsible for the medicines and other cures for these illnesses.
6) Nehuniah, the digger of ditches: Nehuniah oversaw the digging of wells, cisterns and irrigation channels.
7) Gevini, the announcer: Gevini would cry out each morning, “Rise up priests to your worship (avodah), Levites to your stands and Israelites to your stations (maamadot).”
8) The son of Gever over the locking of the gates: He would close the gates in the evening.
9) The son of Bevai over the strips: these were the wicks used in lighting the menorah.
10) The son of Arza over the cymbal: The cymbal was used to signal to the Levites to begin to sing.
11) Hugras the son of Levi over the song: he conducted the Levites in their daily songs.
12) The house of Garmu over the making of the showbread: this house of priests was responsible for baking the twelve loaves that were on the table throughout the week.
13) The house of Avtinas over the preparing of the frankincense: they crushed the herbs and prepared the mixture.
14) Elazar over the curtains: he sewed the curtains and then maintained them.
15) And Pinchas over the priestly vestments: he made the vestments, put them on the priests and then took them off when their service was completed.

על הקינים – those lacking atonement such as the man and/or a woman with a flux and a woman who just gave birth bring obligatory bird-offerings which are doves and pigeons – they put their monies in the shofar-shaped [chests] that are in the Temple. But those who are appointed over the shofar-shaped [chests] take the money and bring through them the bird-offerings, and someone who was wise, great in knowledge and a specialist had to be appointed, as we state in Tractate Avot (Chapter 3, Mishnah 18).
