הפאה, והבכורים, והראיון, וגמילות חסדים, ותלמוד תורה.
Produce in the corner of the field that must be left unharvested, which is given to the poor [pe’a]; and the first fruits, which are brought to the Temple; and the appearance in the Temple on the pilgrim Festivals; and acts of loving-kindness; and Torah study.
אמר רבי יוחנן: כסבורין אנו לומר, הראיון אין לו שיעור — למעלה, אבל יש לו שיעור — למטה, עד שבא רבי אושעיא ברבי, ולימד: הראיון אין לו שיעור לא למעלה ולא למטה. אבל חכמים אומרים: הראייה מעה כסף, והחגיגה שתי כסף.
R' Yoḥanan said: We thought to say that the mitzva of appearance in the Temple does not have a maximum measure, but it does have a minimum measure; until R' Oshaya the Distinguished came and taught: The mitzva of appearance has neither a maximum nor a minimum measure. However, the Rabbis say: The burnt-offering of appearance must be worth one silver ma’a and the Festival peace-offering two silver coins.
מאי הראיון? רבי יוחנן אמר: ראיית פנים בעזרה, וריש לקיש אמר: ראיית פנים בקרבן.
§ What is the mitzva of appearance to which this Mishnah is referring? R' Yoḥanan said: It is the mitzva of the appearance of one’s face in the Temple courtyard. One may appear in the Temple as often as he likes over the course of a Festival. And Reish Lakish said: It is the appearance of one’s face in the Temple with an offering. There is no measure in this regard, as every time one appears in the Temple during a Festival he must bring an offering.
בעיקר הרגל, כולי עלמא לא פליגי דראיית פנים בקרבן. כי פליגי בשאר ימות הרגל: כל היכא דאתא ואייתי — כולי עלמא לא פליגי דמקבלינן מיניה, כי פליגי דאתא ולא אייתי.
The Talmud explains: On the main i.e., on the first, day of the pilgrimage Festival, everyone agrees that the appearance of one’s face must be accompanied by an offering. When they disagree, it is with regard to the rest of the days of the pilgrimage Festival, i.e., whether or not one who appears must sacrifice an offering. Furthermore, anywhere, i.e., in any case that one comes and brings an offering, everyone agrees that we accept it from him. When they disagree, it is when he comes and does not bring an offering. Is this man obligated to bring an offering or not?
