Commentary for Nedarim 97:5

והא קרא נסיב לה אסמכתא בעלמא:

the Passover in fire, according to the law.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' II Chron. XXXV, 13. But the Passover Sacrifice had to be roasted; hence [H] is applicable to roasts too.

Josiah's, even roast is called cooked. But he adduces a verse? — That is a mere support.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' His ruling, however, is not based thereon. ');">¹⁰</span>
