Halakhah for Yevamot 141:14

ור' אליעזר האי איש איש מאי עביד ליה דברה תורה כלשון בני אדם

What expository use, however, does R. Eliezer make of the expression. What man soever?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. supra p. 479. n. 21.

The repetition of the term man (v. supra p. 479. n. 21) has, therefore, no expository significance. ');"><sup>46</sup></span> R. Hama b. Ukba inquired: May an uncircumcised child<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' During the days preceding the child's circumcision which is normally due on the eighth day of his birth, v. Gen.

Sefer HaChinukh

That we not feed of the Pesach sacrifice to a stranger or a resident: To not give (allow) to eat from the meat of the Pesach sacrifice to a stranger or resident, as it is stated (Exodus 12:45), "The resident or wage-worker shall not eat it." And a "resident" is a man from the [other] nations who takes upon himself not to worship idolatry, but eats carcasses. And a "hired laborer" is a convert who has circumcised himself but not immersed [in a mikveh] - as so did our Sages, may their memory be blessed, explain (Yevamot 71a).
