תּלמוד אויף דברים 16:6

HALAKHAH: “In a place where one was used to work,” etc. It is written, there you shall slaughter the Pesaḥ in the evening³Deut. 16:6.. Not only he, from where his agent? The verse says, and you shall cook and you shall eat⁴Deut. 16:7. Since the Pesaḥ sacrifice must be eaten in a group (Ex. 12:3–4), the singular in these verses cannot mean that the slaughter has to be done by the eater; this is proof that it may be delegated.. Why does the verse say, there you shall slaughter the Pesaḥ in the evening? It is not in order that he should be occupied by his work while his sacrifice is offered⁵The singular is interpreted that even if the sacrifice is presented by an agent, the owner still has to behave as if he himself were present.. As what was stated⁶The first sentence is a quote from Megillat Taˋanit. The entire text is copied in Ḥagigah 2:4., “therefore anybody who has an obligation for wood and first fruits. He who says, I am taking upon me [to bring] wood for the altar and logs for the arrangement⁷The arrangement of the firewood on the altar. on that day is forbidden funeral orations, and fasting, and working.”

Who is the Tanna of “whether it be weekday or Sabbath”? Rebbi Ismael, as it was stated²⁶Babli 58a. In Sifiy zuṭa Beha ˋalotekha9(3) (Yalqut 720) the name tradition is the opposite of that of the Talmudim.: “As its order is on a weekday so its order is on a Sabbath, the words of Rebbi Ismael. Rebbi Aqiba says, as its order is on a Friday so is its order on a Sabbath.” This means that Rebbi Ismael makes it an hour later for its arguments²⁷In Maˋaser šeni 1:1 (Note 19) פִּלְפּוּלוֹ refers to the discussion of the rules of tithe money. So it seems that here the interpretation of Pene Moshe is correct, that there is time to solve all questions that arise before the sacrifice is slaughtered on a tight schedule., and Rebbi Aqiba makes it an hour earlier to occupy oneself with it, so they would not fulfill the commandment while inebriated²⁸Since it is a Sabbath where usually three meals with bread and wine are prescribed, he makes sure that the entire afternoon no alcohol is consumed and the people are awake for the celebration in the night.. Could not the Pesaḥ be brought first and the daily sacrifice afterwards²⁹Since if the 14^th is a Friday neither the Pesaḥ nor the daily sacrifice are brought at the time which was determined to be the correct between the evenings, it should not make any difference which sacrifice was brought first.? If you are saying so, you are eliminating between the evenings of the Pesaḥ. If you are keeping between the evenings of the Pesaḥ, are you not eliminating between the evenings of the daily sacrifice? If you are neglecting between the evenings of the daily sacrifice now, you can observe it at other times. If you are neglecting it now for the Pesaḥ, when can you ever observe it? Could not Pesaḥ be brought first, followed by the daily sacrifice? The one about which is written in the evening³⁰Deut. 16:6: There you shall slaughter the Pesaḥ in the evening, at sundown, at the time of your exodus from Egypt. Babli 59a. and between the evenings shall be delayed more than one about which is written [only] between the evenings.

Rebbi Abbahu in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Both of them³⁹R. Aqiba and R. Eliezer, quoted in the Mishnah. explained the same verse, there, there⁴⁰It is said about the Pesaḥ (Deut. 16:6) there you shall slaughter the Pesaḥ in the evening, and it is said about Second Tithe (Deut. 14:22): you shall eat before the Eternal, your God, at the place which He will select to have His Name dwell there. Both Pesaḥ and Second Tithe have to be eaten at the place of the Sanctuary, and Tithe has to be accompanied by a sacrifice of appearance. Therefore “there” may be interpreted either as place of the sacrifice, in this case the Temple, or the place of consumption, Jerusalem, with the corresponding meaning of “far away”.. One said, away from doing it, but the other one said, away from its enclosure.
