Midrash for Pesachim 189:7
איסי בן יהודה האי עצם מאי עביד ליה מיבעי ליה לאחד עצם שיש בו מוח ואחד עצם שאין בו מוח
The Master said: 'You might think that regulations which are not even indirectly connected with itself [are included too]' - But surely you have said that the Writ refers to ordinance[s] pertaining to itself? -This is what he means: now that you have quoted.' they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs, which proves that 'they shall keep it'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' 'It' might imply that only the regulations directly bearing on the sacrifice itself are meant, and therefore exclude the eating of unleavened bread and bitter herbs.');"><sup>9</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
R. Yehudah says: I might think that "the small Pesach" (Pesach Sheini, viz. Bamidbar 9:10-12) also requires remaining overnight. It is, therefore, written "and you shall betake yourselves in the morning and go to your tents. (8) Six days shall you eat matzoth." What requires six days requires remaining overnight — to exclude the small Pesach, which requires only one day. The sages say: It (Pesach Sheini) is not worse than wood and frankincense. (i.e., Just as they require remaining overnight, so, Pesach Sheini.)
