וטעונין קרבן - Bikurim are to be brought with a קרבן שלמים as explained later. ושיר - The leviim would sing when bikurim arrived, as detailed later. ותנופה - The As part of the ceremony when bikurim are brought, the kohen and its owner would lift the bikurim and wave them, as detailed later. ולינה - The owner was not to leave Jerusalem until at least the morning after bring bikurim.
משנה ה
נטלת מן הטהור על הטמא - Bikurim and terumas maaser can be taken from produce that is tahor to exempt produce that is tamei. gain their status once picked, even before any processing. שלא מן המקף - Teruma must be separated from produce that is close to the rest of the produce that it is releasing from the obligation; the רע"ב points out that this is the reason that tahor cannot be taken for tamei by teruma, as due to their proximity there is a likelihood that it came into contact with the tamei.
