Tosefta sur Le Deutéronome 12:5
כִּ֠י אִֽם־אֶל־הַמָּק֞וֹם אֲשֶׁר־יִבְחַ֨ר יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם֙ מִכָּל־שִׁבְטֵיכֶ֔ם לָשׂ֥וּם אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ שָׁ֑ם לְשִׁכְנ֥וֹ תִדְרְשׁ֖וּ וּבָ֥אתָ שָֽׁמָּה׃
mais uniquement à l’endroit que l’Éternel, votre Dieu, aura adopté entre toutes vos tribus pour y attacher son nom, dans ce lieu de sa résidence vous irez l’invoquer.
Tosefta Chagigah
One who is impure is exempt from appearing [before the Temple on the three festivals], as it says (Deut. 12:5-6), "you are to come there and you are to bring there [your burnt-offerings and your sacrifices]." Since one must be [ritually] fit to enter the Temple Courtyard, consequently one who is impure, who is not fit to enter the Temple Courtyard[, is exempt from appearing].
