Commentary for Pesachim 139:2

ובמועט מיהו מ"ט אתיא כדתניא חגיגה הבאה עם הפסח נאכלת תחילה כדי שיהא פסח נאכל על השבע:

AND IT IS EATEN FOR TWO DAYS etc. Our Mishnah is not in agreement with the son of Tema. For it was taught: The son of Tema said: The hagigah which comes with the Passover is as the Passover, and it may only be eaten a day and a night, whereas the hagigah of the fifteenth is eaten two days and one night; again, the hagigah of the fourteenth, a man discharges therewith [his duty] on account of rejoicing, but he does not discharge therewith [his duty] on account of hagigah. What is the son of Tema's reason? - As R. Hiyya taught his son, Neither shall the sacrifice of the feast [zebah hag] of the passover be left unto the morning: 'zebah hag,' this is the hagigah; 'the passover' is what it implies, and the Divine Law saith, 'it shall not be kept overnight'. <br>
