Talmud for Pesachim 139:4

וחגיגת ארבעה עשר יוצא בה משום שמחה ואין יוצא בה משום חגיגה

The Scholars asked: According to the son of Tema, does it [the hagigah] come from the herd or does it not come from the herd; does it come from females or does it not come from females; does it come a two-year old, or does it not come a two-year old? [Do we say,] when the Divine Law compared it to the Passover it was in the matter of eating, but not in respect of all [other] things; or perhaps there is no difference? - Come and hear: The hagigah which comes with the Passover is as the Passover: it comes from the flock, but it does not come from the herd; it comes from the males but it does not come from the females; it comes a year old, but it does not come a two-year old, and it may be eaten only a day and a night, and it may be eaten only roast, and it may be eaten only by those who have registered for it. [Now,] whom do you know to hold this view? The son of Tema. This proves that we require everything. This proves it.

Jerusalem Talmud Pesachim

It was stated: The festival offering which comes with the Pesaḥ is eaten first so that the Pesaḥ be eaten when one is satiated98Tosephta 5:3.. Why should the Pesaḥ not be eaten so one be satiated? Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Bun in the name of Rebbi Jacob bar Dosay: Lest one come to break a bone99Babli 70a. Mekhilta dR. Ismael Bo 6 (ed. Horovitz-Rabin p. 20)..
