אימא סיפא ושאר כל הזבחים ששחטן לשום הפסח אם אינן ראויין חייב אם ראויין הן ר' אליעזר מחייב חטאת ור' יהושע פוטר ואי בעוקר מה לי ראויין מה לי שאינן ראויין

We learned: SAID R. ELIEZER: IF THE PASSOVER, WHICH IS PERMITTED FOR ITS OWN PURPOSE, YET WHEN HE CHANGES ITS PURPOSE, HE IS CULPABLE; THEN [OTHER] SACRIFICES, WHICH ARE FORBIDDEN FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSE, IF HE CHANGES THEIR PURPOSE IS IT NOT LOGICAL THAT HE IS CULPABLE. But if this [interpretation] is so, surely they are dissimilar, since the first clause refers to a man who abrogates, whereas the second clause refers to him who errs? - In R. Eliezer's view there is no difference. But according to R. Joshua, who holds that there is a difference, let him answer him thus? - He says thus to him: According to my view, they are dissimilar, [for] the first clause refers to a man who abrogates, whereas the second clause refers to him who errs. [But even] according to you, it is NOT SO. IF YOU SAY [THUS] OF THE PASSOVER, [HE IS CULPABLE] BECAUSE HE CHANGED IT FOR SOMETHING THAT IS FORBIDDEN; WILL YOU SAY [THE SAME] OF [OTHER] SACRIFICES, WHERE HE CHANGED THEM FOR SOMETHING THAT IS PERMITTED?
