Reference for Rosh Hashanah 59:24
(אמר) רב נחמן בר יצחק רבן יוחנן בן זכאי
THE NEW CORN SHOULD BE FORBIDDEN. <big><b>GEMARA: </b></big>What is our warrant for doing things in remembrance of the Temple? - Because the Scripture says, For I will restore health unto thee and I will heal thee of thy wound, saith the Lord, because they have called thee an outcast, 'she is Zion, there is none that inquireth after her'.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Jer. XXX, 17.');"><sup>18</sup></span> From this we gather that she ought to be inquired after. THAT THE WHOLE OF THE DAY OF WAVING THE 'OMER THE NEW CORN SHOULD BE FORBIDDEN. What is the reason? - The Temple, [let us hope], will speedily be rebuilt, and [the Jews] will [then] say, 'Last year did we not eat [the new corn] from daybreak?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The text says, Ye shall not eat bread . . until this selfsame day, until ye have brought the offering (of the 'omer) . - Lev. XXIII, 14. The Rabbis learn from this (Men. 68) , that when the 'omer is brought the new corn may be eaten as soon as it is brought, and when it is not brought the new corn may be eaten from daybreak on the sixteenth of Nisan.');"><sup>19</sup></span> Now too let us eat', they not knowing that last year when there was no [waving of the] 'omer it was daybreak which rendered the new corn permissible, but now that there is the 'omer it is the 'omer which renders it permissible. When [are we supposing] it will be built? Shall I say it will be built on the sixteenth [of Nisan]? Then daybreak [of the sixteenth] will render the new corn permissible.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The Temple not yet having been built.');"><sup>20</sup></span> Shall I say then that it will be built on the fifteenth?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' [I.e.,it will have been built by the fifteenth so that there would be time to make all the preparation necessary for the offering of the 'omer v. Rashi Suk. 41a.]');"><sup>21</sup></span> Then let [the new corn] become Permissible from midday [on the sixteenth], since we have learnt: 'Those who are at a distance [from the Temple] are allowed to eat [the new corn] from midday, because the Beth din do not procrastinate [with the 'omer]'!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And it may be safely assumed that they have brought it by midday.');"><sup>22</sup></span> -The rule is necessary in case the Temple will be built on the fifteenth shortly before sunset,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' [The law that the building of the Temple does not override the Sabbath (v. Sheb. 15b) does not apply to the future Temple which will be ht wrought by the hands of Heaven (Rashi) . MS.M. (v. also Tosaf. Suk. ');"><sup>23</sup></span> or also in case it will be built by night.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And in such a case there will not be time to bring the 'omer by midday, and if the Jews should eat the new corn then they will transgress.');"><sup>24</sup></span> R'Nahman B'Isaac [however] said: Rabban Johanan B'Zaccai
