## Pesachim Daf 83b

###### Pesachim 83b:1
[Pesachim 83b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/83b:1)

שֶׁמְּצָאָן צִבּוּרִין צִבּוּרִין, וּמֵהֶן חֲלוּצִין. עַצְמוֹת קָדָשִׁים דְּאֵין בָּהֶן מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת הָעֶצֶם — לְכוּלְּהוּ הֲוָה חָלֵיץ לְהוּ וְאָכֵיל לְהוּ, וְלָא בָּעֵי שְׂרֵיפָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**when one finds them in piles, and** he sees that **some of them** have had their marrow **removed.** If these bones are **bones of offerings to which** the prohibition of **breaking a bone does not apply,** one can assume that the owner **removed** the marrow from **all** the bones before the marrow became leftover **and ate it, and they do not require burning.**


###### Pesachim 83b:2
[Pesachim 83b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/83b:2)

עַצְמוֹת הַפֶּסַח דְּיֵשׁ בָּהֶן מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת הָעֶצֶם — דִּילְמָא הָנֵי דְּחַלְצִינְהוּ, וּלְהָנָךְ לָא חַלְצִינְהוּ, וּבָעֵי שְׂרֵיפָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
On the other hand, with regard to **the bones of the Paschal lamb, to which** the prohibition of **breaking a bone does apply, perhaps** the owner **removed** the marrow from **these, and from those he did not remove** the marrow, **and they require burning.** Therefore, although one needs to check all the bones of the Paschal lamb he finds to ensure that they do not have marrow left in them, he does not need to burn them due to the unconfirmed possibility that the marrow was removed after it became leftover. The bones would need to be burned only if there was still marrow in them or if one knew for certain that they had served as a base for leftover sacrificial meat.


###### Pesachim 83b:3
[Pesachim 83b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/83b:3)

אָמַר רַב יְהוּדָה אָמַר רַב: כׇּל הַגִּידִין בָּשָׂר, חוּץ מִגִּידֵי צַוָּאר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Yehuda said** that **Rav said: All the sinews** in an animal are considered **like meat.** Therefore, one can fulfill his obligation to eat the Paschal lamb by eating them and one can register for them, **except for the sinews of the neck,** which are so hard that they are not considered meat.


###### Pesachim 83b:4
[Pesachim 83b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/83b:4)

תְּנַן: הָעֲצָמוֹת וְהַגִּידִים וְהַנּוֹתָר יִשָּׂרְפוּ בְּשִׁשָּׁה עָשָׂר. הָנֵי גִּידִין הֵיכִי דָמֵי? אִילֵּימָא גִּידֵי בָשָׂר — נֵיכְלִינְהוּ? וְאִי דְּאִיתּוֹתַר — הַיְינוּ נוֹתָר? אֶלָּא פְּשִׁיטָא: גִּידֵי צַוָּאר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**We learned** in the mishna: **The bones, and the sinews, and the leftover shall be burned on the sixteenth.** The Gemara asks: **What are the circumstances** in which **these sinews** must be burned? **If we say** they are **sinews of meat, let us eat them.** Why are they burned? **And if** they are sinews **that were left over** and not eaten for some other reason, **they are leftover,** so why does the mishna list sinews separately? **Rather, it is obvious** that the mishna is referring to **sinews of the neck,** which are different than other sinews and are therefore mentioned separately.


###### Pesachim 83b:5
[Pesachim 83b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/83b:5)

אִי אָמְרַתְּ בִּשְׁלָמָא בָּשָׂר נִינְהוּ, אַמְּטוּ לְהָכִי בָּעֵי שְׂרֵיפָה. אֶלָּא אִי אָמְרַתְּ לָאו בָּשָׂר נִינְהוּ — לְמָה לְהוּ שְׂרֵיפָה? אָמַר רַב חִסְדָּא: לֹא נִצְרְכָא אֶלָּא לְגִיד הַנָּשֶׁה, וְאַלִּיבָּא דְּרַבִּי יְהוּדָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Granted, if you say they are meat, due to that they require burning; but if you say they are not meat, why do they** require **burning?** One should simply discard them like other waste. **Rav Ḥisda said:** The mishna’s mention of sinews **is necessary only for the sciatic nerve, in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Yehuda.**


###### Pesachim 83b:6
[Pesachim 83b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/83b:6)

דְּתַנְיָא, רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: אֵינוֹ נוֹהֵג אֶלָּא בְּאַחַת, וְהַדַּעַת מַכְרַעַת שֶׁל יָמִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**As it was taught** in a *baraita* that **Rabbi Yehuda said:** The prohibition to eat the sciatic nerve according to Torah law **applies only to** the sciatic nerve in **one** of the animal’s thighs, and not to both, **and logic dictates** that it is **the right** thigh. However, since there is no absolute proof that this is correct, the sciatic nerve must be removed from both sides. Although in theory the forbidden sciatic nerve may be discarded and the permitted one may be eaten, since there is uncertainty as to which one is permitted, neither of them may be eaten. Both must be burned.


###### Pesachim 83b:7
[Pesachim 83b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/83b:7)

וְאֶלָּא תִּפְשׁוֹט דְּסַפּוֹקֵי מְסַפְּקָא לֵיהּ לְרַבִּי יְהוּדָה. דְּאִי מִיפְּשִׁיט פְּשִׁיטָא לֵיהּ, הָהִיא דְּהֶיתֵּירָא נֵיכְלֵיהּ, וּדְאִיסּוּרָא נִישְׁדְּיֵיהּ — לְמָה לֵיהּ שְׂרֵיפָה!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **Shall we then conclude that Rabbi Yehuda was uncertain** about which sciatic nerve is forbidden? The Sages were unsure whether Rabbi Yehuda was absolutely convinced that it is the sciatic nerve from the right side that is forbidden, or if he was saying that this would seem likely to be the case, but he was not certain. **As, if it were clear to him** that it is the sciatic nerve from the right thigh that is forbidden, the proper procedure would be different: **The one that is permitted we should eat, and** the one **that is forbidden we should discard. Why should he** require **burning?**


###### Pesachim 83b:8
[Pesachim 83b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/83b:8)

אָמַר רַב אִיקָא בַּר חִינָּנָא: כְּגוֹן שֶׁהוּכְּרוּ וּלְבַסּוֹף נִתְעָרְבוּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Ika bar Ḥinnana said,** in response to this attempted proof: The mishna addresses a case **where** the two sciatic nerves **were known, but in the end** became **mixed** together. In other words, at first it was known which was the forbidden right nerve and which was the permitted left nerve. However, they were then mixed together and can no longer be identified. Therefore, due to the uncertainty, they must both be burned.


###### Pesachim 83b:9
[Pesachim 83b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/83b:9)

רַב אָשֵׁי אָמַר: לֹא נִצְרְכָא אֶלָּא לְשֻׁמָּנוֹ דְּגִיד הַנָּשֶׁה. דְּתַנְיָא: שֻׁמָּנוֹ מוּתָּר, וְיִשְׂרָאֵל קְדוֹשִׁים הֵם וְנוֹהֲגִין בּוֹ אִיסּוּר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Ashi said:** The mishna’s ruling that the sinews must be burned **is necessary only** with regard to **the fat of the sciatic nerve, as it was taught** in a *baraita*: **The fat** around the sciatic nerve **is permitted** according to Torah law, but **the Jewish people are holy and treat it as forbidden.** Since it is permitted according to Torah law, it has the status of meat and may not be simply discarded. However, since the Jewish people treat it as forbidden, they do not eat it even from the Paschal lamb. Therefore, it is left until after the time when the meat may be eaten and burned in accordance with the general *halakha* of leftover.


###### Pesachim 83b:10
[Pesachim 83b:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/83b:10)

רָבִינָא אָמַר: בַּחִיצוֹן, וְכִדְרַב יְהוּדָה אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל. דְּאָמַר רַב יְהוּדָה אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל: שְׁנֵי גִידִין הֵן, פְּנִימִי הַסָּמוּךְ לָעֶצֶם — אָסוּר, וְחַיָּיבִין עָלָיו. חִיצוֹן הַסָּמוּךְ לַבָּשָׂר — אָסוּר, וְאֵין חַיָּיבִין עָלָיו.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Ravina said:** This discussion pertains to the **outer** nerve, **and** it is in accordance with that which **Rav Yehuda said** that **Shmuel said, as Rav Yehuda said** that **Shmuel said: There are two sinews** in the sciatic nerve: The **inner** sinew **that is next to the bone is forbidden** according to Torah law, **and one is liable** to be flogged **for** eating **it. The outer** sinew **that is next to the meat is forbidden** by rabbinic law, and therefore **one is not liable** to be flogged **for** eating **it.** Since the outer sinew is permitted according to Torah law, it attains the status of leftover when it is not eaten.


###### Pesachim 83b:11
[Pesachim 83b:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/83b:11)

חָל שִׁשָּׁה עָשָׂר וְכוּ׳. וְאַמַּאי? נֵיתֵי עֲשֵׂה וְיִדְחֵי לֹא תַּעֲשֶׂה!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
It was taught in the mishna that if **the sixteenth** of Nisan **occurs** on Shabbat, the burning of the leftover does not override Shabbat, and they are burned on the seventeenth. The Gemara asks: **And why** isn’t the leftover of the Paschal lamb burned on the Festival day itself? **The positive mitzva** to burn the leftover **should come and override the prohibition** that prohibits the performance of labor on Festivals.


###### Pesachim 83b:12
[Pesachim 83b:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/83b:12)

אָמַר חִזְקִיָּה, וְכֵן תָּנֵי דְּבֵי חִזְקִיָּה, אָמַר קְרָא: ״לֹא תוֹתִירוּ מִמֶּנּוּ עַד בֹּקֶר וְהַנּוֹתָר מִמֶּנּוּ עַד בֹּקֶר בָּאֵשׁ תִּשְׂרֹפוּ״, שֶׁאֵין תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר ״עַד בֹּקֶר״, מָה תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר ״עַד בֹּקֶר״ — לִיתֵּן לוֹ בֹּקֶר שֵׁנִי לִשְׂרֵיפָתוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Ḥizkiya said, and similarly,** one of the Sages in **the school of Ḥizkiya taught: The verse states: “And you shall not leave any of it until morning; and that which remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire”** (Exodus 12:10). **As** there is **no** need for **the verse to state “until morning,”** and repeating that phrase adds nothing to the verse, **what** is the meaning when **the verse states “until morning”?** It is **to give it a second morning for its burning.** In other words, it comes to teach that the mitzva to burn the leftover does not apply on the first morning, i.e., the morning of the Festival when they become prohibited to eat, but on the second morning, the sixteenth of Nisan. However, when the sixteenth falls on Shabbat, the burning is delayed until the seventeenth.


###### Pesachim 83b:13
[Pesachim 83b:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/83b:13)

אַבָּיֵי אָמַר, אָמַר קְרָא: ״עֹלַת שַׁבָּת בְּשַׁבַּתּוֹ״, וְלֹא עוֹלַת חוֹל בְּשַׁבָּת, וְלֹא עוֹלַת חוֹל בְּיוֹם טוֹב.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Abaye said:** The reason is because **the verse states: “The burnt-offering of each Shabbat on its Shabbat** in addition to the continual burnt-offering and its libation” (Numbers 28:10). This indicates that the burnt-offering of Shabbat may be offered on the altar on Shabbat or burned if it is disqualified, but **not the burnt-offering of a weekday on Shabbat, and not the burnt-offering of a weekday on a Festival.** It is derived from here that one may not burn anything on Shabbat that is not an obligation of that day.


###### Pesachim 83b:14
[Pesachim 83b:14](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/83b:14)

רָבָא אָמַר, אָמַר קְרָא: ״הוּא לְבַדּוֹ יֵעָשֶׂה לָכֶם״ — ״הוּא״ וְלֹא מַכְשִׁירָיו, ״לְבַדּוֹ״,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rava said** a different reason: **The verse states** concerning Festivals: “And on the first day there shall be a sacred convocation; no kind of labor shall be done on them, save that which every man must eat, **only that may be done for you”** (Exodus 12:16). From this verse one can infer the following: **That,** i.e., the food itself, you may prepare, **but** you may **not** perform acts that **facilitate its** preparation, which must be done beforehand. The word **only** is also exclusive; it indicates that only food preparation is permitted,
