Halakhah for Pesachim 69:2
אמר רב שימי בר אשי אף אנן נמי תנינא טבל ועלה אוכל במעשר העריב שמשו אוכל בתרומה בתרומה אין בקדשים לא אמאי טהור הוא אלא מעלה ה"נ מעלה
[Thus] only terumah, but not sacred food.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If his uncleanness requires a sacrifice, e.g.. in the case of a zab, he may not eat sacred food until he has brought the sacrifice, though he is completely clean.');"><sup>3</sup></span> Yet why so? He is clean?
Sefer HaChinukh
The commandment of eating matsah: To eat matsah-bread that is made from a species of grain on the night of the fifteenth of Nissan (Pesachim 35a), as it is stated (Exodus 12:18), "in the evening, you shall eat matsot." And the understanding [of "evening"] is the night of the fifteenth of Nissan - whether it be at a time when the Pesach sacrifice is present or whether it be at a time that it is not present.
