(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.
Pisqa’ 134⁴⁴⁵
- “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],
words of R. Judah.
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.
- “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.
footnotes: ⁴⁴⁸ Heb:’ohaleihem
אֵין לִי אֶלָּא אֵלּוּ בִּלְבַד, מִנַּיִן לְרַבּוֹת עוֹפוֹת וּמְנָחוֹת, יַיִן וּלְבוֹנָה וְעֵצִים? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: וּפָנִיתָ – כָּל פּוֹנוֹת שֶׁאַתָּה פוֹנֶה מִן הַבֹּקֶר וְאֵילָךְ.
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.
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.
- 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.
(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.
- “Six days shall you eat unleavened-bread” (Dt. 16:8).
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.
