הזב והזבה. שהקריבו בחוץ, בתוך ימי ספרן:
והיולדת. שהקריבה בתוך מלאת:
פטורין. שאין מתקבלין לא לחובה ולא לנדבה:
ואשמם. בגמרא פריך, זב וזבה ויולדת בני אשם נינהו. ומשני, תני מצורע בהדייהו, שהמצורע מביא אשם:
עולותיהן ושלמיהן. בגמרא פריך, הני בני שלמים נינהו. ומשני, תני נזיר בהדייהו, שנזיר מביא שלמים:
בחוץ חייבין. שהן מתקבלות בפנים נדבה לשמן לאחר שהקריבו חטאתם והמצורע את אשמו:
מבשר חטאת מבשר אשם כו׳. דכל הני נאכלים לכהנים ואינן קרבים לגבי מזבח, ורחמנא אמר (ויקרא י״ז:ח׳) אשר יעלה עולה או זבח, מה עולה שהיא קרבה על גבי מזבח, אף כל שהוא קרב על גבי מזבח:
מבשר קדשי קדשים. כבשי עצרת שהם שלמי צבור ויש להם תורת קדשי קדשים:
היוצק. השמן על המנחה:
הבולל. הפותת. הבולל המנחה בשמן. ופותתה פתים:
המניף. המגיש. שמניף את המנחה שטעונה תנופה. ומגישה בחוץ. המנחה שהיא טעונה הגשה בפנים בקרן דרומית מערבית כדכתיב (שם ב׳) והגישה אל המזבח:
המסדר. לחם הפנים על השלחן:
פטור. דאמר קרא אשר יעלה עו׳, לה או זבח, מה העלאה שהוא גמר עבודה, אף כל שהוא גמר עבודה, יצאו אלו שאין אחד מהן גמר עבודה:
אין חייבין עליו משום זרות. אם עשה זר אחת מכל העבודות הללו, כגון שבלל או פתת וכו׳. וכן טמא, או מחוסר בגדים, או מי שאינו רחוץ ידים ורגלים, אינו חייב מיתה אע״פ שנפסל אותו דבר שעבד בו:

זבחים פרק י"ד משנה ד׳
Bartenura
והעבודה בבכורות – as it is written (Exodus 24:5): “He designated some of the young men among the Israelites, [and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed bulls and offerings of well-being to the LORD], these are the first-born that the Divine Service was upon them.
משהוקם המשכן נאסרו הבמות – as it is written (Leviticus 17:4): “and does not bring it (i.e., ox, sheep or goat in the camp) to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting [to present it as an offering to the LORD,” it follows that the prohibition depends upon the Tent of Meeting. But particularly for the Israelite, the improvised altars were forbidden, but heathens are permitted to offer up [sacrifices] to Heaven in any place, and even at this time. But it is prohibited for an Israelite to be their agents to offer up [sacrifices] or to assist them. But to instruct them in the order of the offering of sacrifices is permitted.
והעבודה בבכורות. דכתיב (שמות כ״ד) וישלח את נערי בני ישראל, אלו הבכורות שהעבודה בהם:
משהוקם המשכן נאסרו הבמות. דכתיב (ויקרא י״ז) ואל פתח אוהל מועד לא הביאו, מכלל דבאוהל מועד תלי אסורא. ודוקא לישראל נאסרו הבמות, אבל נכרים מותרים להקריב לשמים בכל מקום, ואפילו בזמן הזה. ואסור לישראל להיות שלוחם להקריב ולא לסייעם. אבל להורות להם סדר הקרבה שרי:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.
