Chasidut for Pesachim 191:13
אלא מעתה דכתיב (שמות יב, ח) ואכלו את הבשר בלילה הזה ה"נ דזה נאכל בלילה ואין אחר נאכל בלילה אמר קרא ועבדת את העבודה
And thus [in connection with] the annual Passover-offering it is indeed written, then thou shalt keep this service in this month,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ex. XIII, 5.');"><sup>19</sup></span> [which intimates] that all the services of this month [in subsequent generations] should be like this.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., all the regulations of the Egyptian Passover hold good for the annual Passover too, and this includes the four days' examination. The special 'taking' however has been excluded by the exegesis above.');"><sup>20</sup></span>
Kedushat Levi
Exodus 9,3. “and to the Children of Israel say as follows: ‘take a he-goat for a sin offering;” this verse concludes with the words: “as well as an ox and a ram as a peace offering to slaughter in the presence of the Lord and a gift offering soaked in oil, for on this day the Lord has appeared to you” (collectively). This verse which sounds as if it was an afterthought, raises the question how this was possible as we have a rule (Pessachim 96) that any animal designated as a sacrificial animal must undergo at least 4 days of examination to determine if it is not blemished in any way. Why did G’d command to take these animals and present them as sacrifices on the same day they had been selected without their having to undergo the four day period during which they would be examined as to the state of their fitness? The fact that this occurred on the same day is evident from the fact that Aaron did not descend from the altar and bless the people until all the animals and the gift offering had been presented (verse 23).
