MISHNAH: Nittai from Tekoa brought ḥallot from Baithur172This place has not been convincingly identified. Possibly it is the place of origin of the family Ben Bathyra, the leading rabbinical authorities in the region of Nisibis on the upper Tigris during the centuries of the Mishnaic period. but they did not accept from him173Since it is impure by coming from outside the Land, the rabbinic authorities of the day forbade any Cohen to accept it.. The people of Alexandria brought their ḥallot from Alexandria but they did not accept from them174Probably near the place צבעים (Neh. 11:34, 1S. 13:18), West of Jerusalem.. The people from Hyena Mountain175Pentecost. brought their First Fruits before Pentecost but they did not accept from them because of the verse in the Torah: (Ex. 23:16) “The pilgrimage holiday of harvest176In the quote Babli Temura 21a Ben Antigonos (Venice print), Ben Eutitas (Responsa R. Salomon ben Adrat vol. 1, #331)., the First Fruits of your work from sowing the field.”
Ben-Atitas176In the quote Babli Temura 21a Ben Antigonos (Venice print), Ben Eutitas (Responsa R. Salomon ben Adrat vol. 1, #331). brought firstlings from Babylonia and they did not accept them177In the Temple, since firstlings can only be brought from places from which heave and tithes are obligatory [Sifry on Deut. 14:23 (#106); Babli Bekhorot 53a].. Joseph the Cohen178A Tanna of the Temple period, mentioned in Mishnah Miqwa’ot 10:1 and several baraitot in the Babli. brought his First Fruits as wine and oil and they did not accept them. He also brought his children and members of his household179Women, slaves, and minor children who are exempt from bringing the Pesaḥ sacrifice on the 14th of Iyar if they were unable to bring it on the 14th of Nisan, since it is a positive obligation due at a fixed time. It seems that Joseph the Cohen was sufficiently known for the Temple authorities to be afraid that his example would be imitated and in the end create a baseless obligation. to make the second Passover in Jerusalem but they turned him back so as not to create a precedent for the future. Ariston brought his First Fruits from Apamea and they accepted them for they said, he who buys in Syria is like him who buys in the suburbs of Jerusalem180Cf. Mishnah Demay 6:11..
