מאי היא אמר רב חסדא או אלמנה או גרושה או זרע אין לה במתניתא תנא קוברה או קוברתו או מביאתו לידי עניות
R'MEIR SAID: FOR BOTH,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Sc. leaven and sacred flesh.');"><sup>21</sup></span> WHEN THERE IS AS MUCH AS AN EGG; R'JUDAH SAID: FOR BOTH, WHEN THERE IS AS MUCH AS AN OLIVE; BUT THE SAGES RULE: HOLY FLESH, [THE STANDARD IS] AS MUCH AS AN OLIVE; WHILE LEAVEN, [THE STANDARD IS] AS MUCH AS AN EGG.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' These are the minima for which one must return.');"><sup>22</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
"shall not be seen unto you": Do not see it as being yours, but void it in your heart — whence they ruled: "If one were on his way (on the fourteenth of Nissan) to slaughter his Pesach offering, or to circumcise his son, or to eat the betrothal feast in the house of his father-in-law, and he remembered that he had chametz in his house — if he can return (home) and burn it and return to his mitzvah, he should do so; if not, he should void it in his heart.
