Related for Chagigah 11:6
היכי דמי אילימא בחיגר שאינו יכול להתפשט וסומא שאינו יכול להתפתח השתא גדול פטור קטן מיבעיא לא צריכא בחיגר שיכול להתפשט וסומא שיכול להתפתח מאי
What case is this? If you'll say it refers to a lame child who can not [ever be healed and] stretch out [his leg], or a blind person, who can not [ever be healed and] open [his eye], since [we know that] an adult is exempt [in these situations], must we even mention a child [is exempt]? [This is obvious!] No, it is necessary [because it is not so obvious] regarding a lame person who can [be healed and] stretch out [his leg], or a blind person who can [be healed and] open his eye, [for there are aspects that would make them obligated]. What is [the law regarding them]?
Tosefta Chagigah
Beit Shammai say, the value (lit., "the measure") of the appearance offering is greater than the value of the Festival offering, [because with respect to] the appearance offering, all of it ascends to the Most High (i.e., it is entirely burnt on the altar), which is not the case with the Festival offering [which is eaten by the Kohanim and the owner]. And Beit Hillel say, the value of the Festival offering is greater than the value of the appearance offering, [because with respect to] the Festival offering, it applied before [the giving of] the Ten Commandments (see Ex. 5:1, and Lieberman here), and after [the giving of] the Ten Commandments, which is not the case with the appearance offering. Three commandments apply to the pilgrimages, and they are (1) the appearance offering, (2) the Festival offering, and (3) rejoicing. The appearance offering has something that the other two lack, and the Festival offering [has something] that the other two lack, and the [commandment of] rejoicing [has something] that the other two lack. [As to] the appearance offering, all of it ascends to the Most High, which is not the case with the other two. The Festival offering applied before the Ten Commandments and after the Ten Commandments, which is not the case with the other two. And [the commandment of] rejoicing applies to both men and women, and applies all seven days, which is not the case with the other two.
