Halakhah for Chagigah 17:9

לאיי אפנויי מופנה מכדי מאי עצרת עצור בעשיית מלאכה הכתיב (דברים טז, ח) לא תעשה מלאכה עצרת דכתב רחמנא למה לי אלא שמע מינה לאפנויי

Let's see [how it is redundant]. What does "atzeret" - "restraint" mean? Restraint from doing [halachically forbidden] work. But isn't it [already] written, (Deuteronomy 16:8) "You shall not do work"? Why does Scripture say that it [is a day of] "atzeret"? Learn out from this that it is free [for a gezeira shava through its redundancy].

Sefer HaChinukh

From the laws of the commandment is that which they, may their memory be blessed, said (Mishnah Peah 1:1 at the beginning) that these sacrifices do not have a measure - that even one would suffice, whether it be an animal or whether it be a bird, a dove or a chick. And that he needs to go up to Jerusalem regardless with a sacrifice in his hand, or with money to buy the sacrifice in Jerusalem. But he is not exempted with [an object that has] the value of money. And [that] if he did not sacrifice his sacrifice on the first day, he is able to make it up for seven full days (Chagigah 9a) - so long as he be there on the first days. And the rest of its details - are [all] elucidated in Tractate Chagigah (see Mishneh Torah, Laws of Festival Offering 1).
