(דברים טז יב) **וְזָכַרְתָּ כִּי עֶבֶד הָיִיתָ בְּמִצְרָיִם וְשָׁמַרְתָּ וְעָשִׂיתָ [אֶת הַחֻקִּים הָאֵלֶּה]**, מְלַמֵּד שֶׁכָּל שֶׁנּוֹהֲגִים בַּעֲצֶרֶת נוֹהֲגִים בְּפֶסַח וְחַג, אוֹ אַף כָּל שֶׁנּוֹהֲגִים בְּפֶסַח וְחַג יְהוּ נוֹהֲגִים בַּעֲצֶרֶת? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **אֵלֶּה** – אֵלֶּה נוֹהֲגִים בַּעֲצֶרֶת, וְאֵין סֻכָּה וְלוּלָב וְשִׁבְעָה וּמַצָּה נוֹהֲגִים בַּעֲצֶרֶת.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Devarim 16:12) "And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and you shall take heed and observe these statutes": This teaches us that all (the obligations of rejoicing) which obtain on Atzereth (Shavuoth) obtain on Pesach and Succoth, (these, too, commemorating the exodus from Egypt.) — But perhaps *all* that obtains on Pesach and Succoth (e.g., matzoth, *lulav*, etc.) also obtain on Atzereth! It is, therefore, written "*these* statutes." *These* obtain on Atzereth, but not matzoh, succah, *lulav*, and seven (days).
