In what [case] were the [rules in the previous mishnah] stated? When obligatory [bird-pairs] and donated [elevation-]offerings [became mixed].
But [in the case of] obligatory [bird-pairs] which became mixed with each other:
[If] one [person] had one [pair] and the other had one [pair], [or] one had two and the other had two, [or] one had three and the other had three[, etc.];
half are permitted [to be sacrificed] and half are invalid.
[If] one [person] had one [pair], another had two, another had three and another had one hundred,
[only] the smaller number are permitted [to be sacrificed].
[The above is true] whether [they are all] from one designation or whether [they are] from two designations,
[and] whether [they are all] from one woman or whether [they are] from two women.
