Commentary for Pesachim 82:20

אמר רב חסדא הא מני

Our Rabbis taught: If he ate roast [paschal offering] during the day. he is culpable; and [if he ate] as muc as an olive of semi-roast after nightfall, he is culpable. [Thus] he teaches roast similar to half-roast: just a semi-roast [after nightfall] is [interdicted] by a negative injunction, so is roast [before nightfall] subject t negative injunction. As for half-roast, it is well: it is written, 'Eat not of it semi-roast'. But whence do we know[the negative injunction for] roast? Because it is written, 'And they shall eat the flesh in that night': on at night, but not by day. But this is a negative injunction deduced by implication from an affirmative command, and every negative injunction deduced by implication from an affirmative command is [technically] an affirmative command?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which does not involve flagellation.');">²²</span> - Said R'Hisda, The author of this
