תּוספֿתּא אויף דברים 16:16

1:1 Unclean individuals do not have the obligation to make an appearance, as dictated in Exodus 23:14 and Deuteronomy 16:16. This provision is derived from Deuteronomy 12:6, which implies that this requirement only applies to those who are suitable to enter the Temple courtyard. Thus, unclean people, who are unsuitable for the courtyard, are exempt. Yoḥanan b. Raḥbai, speaking for R. Judah, adds that blind people are also exempt since they cannot fulfill the "will see" requirement from Exodus 23:14. However, Rabbi opposed this interpretation, favoring the interpretation of "will appear" rather than "will see". Nevertheless, the majority of the Sages leaned towards R. Judah's interpretation. This issue of exemption also pertains to those unable to travel from Jerusalem to the Temple mount, evidenced in the case of Hannah in 1 Sam 1:22.
