Halakhah for Chagigah 12:3
ר' אלעזר דתניא (במדבר כח, ו) עולת תמיד העשויה בהר סיני ר' אלעזר אומר מעשיה נאמרו בסיני והיא עצמה לא קרבה
[We know the same position is held by] R. Elazar, for it was taught in a Baraita, (Numbers 28:6) "Continual burnt-offering, instituted at Mount Sinai." R. Elazar says, Its statutes were told over at Mount Sinai, but it was not itself offered. R. Akiva says,
Sefer HaMitzvot
That is that He commanded us to ascend to the Temple three times a year. And that is His, may He be exalted, saying, "Three times a year shall you have a holiday for me" (Exodus 23:14). And it is already explained in Scripture that this holiday is that all who ascend do so with a sacrifice to offer. And behold that this command has been repeated twice. And their language (Chagigah 6b) is, "Three commandments are practiced on the festival - the festival-offering, the sight-offering and the joy-offering." And the content of this festival-offering is that it be offered as a peace offering. But women are not obligated to do it. And the regulations of this commandment have already been explained in Tractate Chagigah. (See Parashat Mishpatim; Mishneh Torah, Festival Offering.)
