מתקיף לה רבא מידי רבי עקיבא כסידרו בערב הפסח שחל להיות בערב שבת קתני כסידרו בערב הפסח סתמא קתני אלא אמר רבא הכי קאמר כסידרו בחול דעלמא כך סידרו בשבת בערב הפסח דברי רבי ישמעאל רבי עקיבא אומר כסידרו בערב הפסח ומתני' דקתני בין בחול בין בשבת רבי עקיבא היא
R'Akiba holds: [The burning of the frankincense in] the censers takes precedence over the additional sacrifices: [hence] the [burning in the] censers took place at five [hours], the additional offering at six hours, and the tamid was sacrificed at six and a half hours. To this Raba demurred: Does then R'Akiba teach, Just as its order on the eve of Passover which falls on the Sabbath, so is its order on the Sabbath; surely he teaches, 'Just as its order on the eve of Passover,' without qualification? Rather, said Raba, This is what he means: Just as its order on the weekdays in general,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' During the year.');"><sup>22</sup></span>
Jerusalem Talmud Pesachim
Who is the Tanna of “whether it be weekday or Sabbath”? Rebbi Ismael, as it was stated: “As its order is on a weekday so its order is on a Sabbath, the words of Rebbi Ismael. Rebbi Aqiba says, as its order is on a Friday so is its order on a Sabbath.” This means that Rebbi Ismael makes it an hour later for its arguments, and Rebbi Aqiba makes it an hour earlier to occupy oneself with it, so they would not fulfill the commandment while inebriated. Could not the Pesaḥ be brought first and the daily sacrifice afterwards? If you are saying so, you are eliminating between the evenings of the Pesaḥ. If you are keeping between the evenings of the Pesaḥ, are you not eliminating between the evenings of the daily sacrifice? If you are neglecting between the evenings of the daily sacrifice now, you can observe it at other times. If you are neglecting it now for the Pesaḥ, when can you ever observe it? Could not Pesaḥ be brought first, followed by the daily sacrifice? The one about which is written in the evening and between the evenings shall be delayed more than one about which is written [only] between the evenings.
