(דברים טז ז) **וּבִשַּׁלְתָּ וְאָכַלְתָּ בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יִבְחַר ה׳ אֱלֹהֶיךָ בּוֹ**, מְלַמֵּד שֶׁמַּחֲזִיר [אֶת הַשָּׁלֵם, וְאֵינוֹ מַחֲזִיר] אֶת הַחֲתִיכוֹת וְאֶת הָאֵבָרִים, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יְהוּדָה. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר: בְּשַׁבָּת בֵּין כָּךְ וּבֵין כָּךְ אָסוּר, בְּיוֹם טוֹב בֵּין כָּךְ וּבֵין כָּךְ מֻתָּר.

1. “Then you shall *cook and eat* it in the place which HASHEM your God shall choose for it” (Dt. 16:7).
This teaches that
**[when Passover eve and Sabbath eve coincide,]**
**they may return {the whole carcass**
**[to the fire if it is under-cooked],**
**but they may not return}**⁴⁴⁶ **the pieces or the limbs:**
**words of R. Judah.**
**R. Yose says:**
**On the Sabbath—**
**either this way [whole] or that way [in pieces],**
**it is forbidden.**
**On the Festival day—**
**either this way or that way,**
**it is permitted.**⁴⁴⁷ 134, n. 1 for textual comments.

**וּפָנִיתָ בַבֹּקֶר וְהָלַכְתָּ לְאֹהָלֶיךָ**, מְלַמֵּד שֶׁטְּעוּנִים לִינָה.

2. “And you shall turn around *in the morning*
and travel to your homes”⁴⁴⁸; literally, “tents.” (Dt. 16:7).
This teaches that
[pilgrims with Passover offerings]
require an over-night stay in Jerusalem.

[Sifrei Devarim 134:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/134:3)

אֵין לִי אֶלָּא אֵלּוּ בִּלְבַד, מִנַּיִן לְרַבּוֹת עוֹפוֹת וּמְנָחוֹת, יַיִן וּלְבוֹנָה וְעֵצִים? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **וּפָנִיתָ** – כָּל פּוֹנוֹת שֶׁאַתָּה פוֹנֶה מִן הַבֹּקֶר וְאֵילָךְ.

**Trans. by Marty Jaffee, 2015:**
I infer only that
they alone require an overnight stay.
On what basis do I know
to include under this rule
[pilgrims with] bird-offerings, grain-offerings,
wine-libations, frankincense, or wood-offerings?
The Teaching states:
“And you shall *turn*” (Dt. 16:7)—
any *turning* [from Jerusalem] that you make,
must be from the morning and thereafter.

[Sifrei Devarim 134:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/134:4)

רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: יָכוֹל יְהֵא פֶּסַח קָטָן טָעוּן לִינָה? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **וּפָנִיתָ בַבֹּקֶר וְהָלַכְתָּ לְאֹהָלֶיךָ. שֵׁשֶׁת יָמִים תֹּאכַל מַצּוֹת**, אֶת שֶׁטָּעוּן שִׁשָּׁה טָעוּן לִינָה; יָצָא פֶּסַח קָטָן שֶׁאֵינוֹ טָעוּן אֶלָּא יוֹם אֶחָד. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: הֲרֵי הוּא כָּעֵצִים וְכַלְּבוֹנָה, שֶׁטְּעוּנִים לִינָה.

**Trans. by Marty Jaffee, 2015:**
3. R. Judah says:
Is it possible to say that
even the Minor Passover,⁴⁴⁹
requires an over-night stay in Jerusalem?
The Teaching states:
“And you shall turn around in the morning
and travel to *your homes*” (Dt. 16:7).
And it continues:
“*Six days* shall you eat unleavened-bread” (Dt. 16:8).
[Conclude from this:] a rite requiring six days,
also requires an over-night stay.
This excludes the Minor Passover,
which is a rite requiring only one day.
But sages say:
Look—the Minor Passover is like
the wood-offering and frankincense,
[lasting for only a day, but]
requiring an over-night stay in Jerusalem.

footnotes:
⁴⁴⁹ The scriptural rule for the Minor Passover is at Nu. 9:9-13.

[Sifrei Devarim 134:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/134:5)

(דברים טז ח) **שֵׁשֶׁת יָמִים תֹּאכַל מַצּוֹת**, רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר: כָּתוּב אֶחָד אוֹמֵר **שֵׁשֶׁת יָמִים תֹּאכַל מַצּוֹת** וְכָתוּב אֶחָד אוֹמֵר (שמות יב טו) ״שִׁבְעַת יָמִים מַצּוֹת תֹּאכֵלוּ״ – מַצָּה נֶאֱכֶלֶת כָּל שִׁבְעָה: אוֹכְלָהּ שִׁשָּׁה מִן הֶחָדָשׁ – וּבַשְּׁבִיעִי מִן הַיָּשָׁן.

**Trans. by Marty Jaffee, 2015:**
4. “Six days shall you eat unleavened-bread” (Dt. 16:8).
**R. Shimon says:**
**One verse states—**
**“six days shall you eat *unleavened-bread*” (Dt. 16:8),**
**but another verse states—**
**“*Seven days unleavened-bread* shall you eat” (Ex. 12:15)—**
**[how do we reconcile this apparent contradiction]?**
**Unleavened-bread is eaten all seven days—**
**but for six days eat it from the new grain,**
**and on the seventh day**
**eat unleavened-bread from the old year’s grain.**⁴⁵⁰, 8.
