(דברים טז ו) כִּי אִם אֶל הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יִבְחַר ה׳ אֱלֹהֶיךָ, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: בָּעָרֶב אַתָּה זוֹבֵחַ, כְּבוֹא הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ אַתָּה אוֹכֵל, מוֹעֵד צֵאתְךָ מִמִּצְרָיִם אַתָּה שׂוֹרֵף.

  1. “There H HhH Hyou shall slaughter the Paschal lamb in the evening, at the setting of the sun, in the season of your liberation from Egypt” (Dt. 16:6).
R. Eliezer says

In the evening—[this is when] you slay it; at the setting of the sun—[this is when] you eat it; at the season of your liberation from Egypt—[this is] when you burn it.

רַבִּי עֲקִיבָה אוֹמֵר: בָּעָרֶב אַתָּה זוֹבֵחַ, כְּבוֹא הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ אַתָּה אוֹכֵל; עַד מָתַי? עַד מוֹעֵד צֵאתְךָ מִמִּצְרָיִם. דָּבָר אַחֵר: מוֹעֵד צֵאתְךָ מִמִּצְרָיִם לִשְׁחִיטָתוֹ, כְּבוֹא הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ לִצְלִיָּתוֹ, בָּעָרֶב לַאֲכִילָתוֹ.

R. Akiva says

In the evening—[this is] when you slay it; at the setting of the sun—[this is when] you eat it. Until when [may you eat it]? At the season of your liberation from Egypt— until the next morning (i.e., Ex. 12:51; Nu. 33:3). Another word: At the season—[the month of Aviv,] when you slaughter it. At the setting of the sun— [of the 14th of Aviv], when you roast it. **In the evening [of the 15th of Aviv], when you eat it .**⁴⁴⁴, 5.
