Pesachim 195

המפריש פסחו ומת לא יביאנו בנו אחריו לשם פסח אלא לשם שלמים:

IF A MAN SEPARATES HIS PASSOVER-OFFERING AND DIES, HIS SON AFTER HIM MUST NOT BRING IT AS A PASSOVER-OFFERING<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' As now there are none registered for it.');">¹</span>

<big><strong>גמ׳</strong></big> אמר רב הונא בריה דרב יהושע שמע מינה תלת שמע מינה בעלי חיים נדחין

BUT AS A PEACE-OFFERING.

וש"מ דחוי מעיקרא הוי דחוי ושמע מינה יש דחוי בדמים:

<big><b>GEMARA: </b></big>R'Huna son of R'Joshua said, This proves three things: [i] Live animals may be [permanently] rejected;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' As here: the animal being rejected from its original purpose, viz., a Passover-offering, it remains ineligible even for a peace-offering, for which it is fit, but must graze. There is an opposing view in Yoma 63b, and quoted infra, that only a dead animal can be rejected permanently.');">²</span>

המפריש פסחו וכו': ת"ר המפריש את פסחו ומת אם בנו ממונה עמו יביאנו לשום פסח אין בנו ממונה עמו יביאנו לשום שלמים לששה עשר לי"ו אין לט"ו לא קא סבר נדרים ונדבות אין קריבין בי"ט

[ii] that which is rejected [even] ab initio is rejected;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This animal was not eligible for its purpose from the very outset. There is an opposing view in Suk. ');">³</span>

דמית האב אימת אילימא דמית קודם חצות בנו ממונה עמו יביאנו לשום פסח הא חלה אנינות עילויה מעיקרא

and [iii] rejection is applicabl to monetary sanctity.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Since this animal is unfit for a Passover-offering, it was sanctified from the very outset only for its value, viz., that its redemption money should be expended on a sacrifice. Nevertheless it becomes permanently ineligible for the altar.');">⁴</span>

אלא דמית אחר חצות אין בנו ממונה עמו יביאנו לשום שלמים הא קבעתיה חצות

IF A MAN SEPARATES HIS PASSOVER-OFFERING etc. Our Rabbis taught: If a man separates his Passover-offering and dies, - If his son is registered with him, he must bring it as a Passover-offering; [if] his son is not registered with him, he must bring it as a peace-offering on the sixteenth [of Nisan].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., on the first of the Intermediate Days.');">⁵</span>

אמר (רבא) לעולם דמית קודם חצות ומאי יביאנו לשום פסח לשום פסח שני

Only on the sixteenth, but not on the fifteenth: he holds, Vows and voluntary offerings<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' P. 288, n. 3.');">⁶</span>

אביי אמר לצדדין קתני מת אחר חצות בנו ממונה עמו יביאנו לשום פסח מת קודם חצות אין בנו ממונה עמו יביאנו לשום שלמים

may not be offered on a Festival.

רב שרביא אמר לעולם דמית לאחר חצות וכגון שהיה אביו גוסס בחצות

Now when did the father die?

רב אשי אמר לעולם דמית לאחר חצות ור"ש היא דאמר אין בעלי חיים נדחין

Shall we say that he died before midday [then how is it stated], 'if his son is registered with him he must bring it as a peace-offering'? - But surely aninuth [bereavement] has previously fallen upon him!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Before the obligation of the Passover, which commences at midday. It is stated supra ');">⁷</span>

רבינא אמר כגון שהפרישו אחר חצות ומתו בעלים אחר חצות וקא סבר חצות קבע:

Again, if he died after midday, '[if] his son is not registered with him, he must bring it as a peace-offering'? -But midday has stamped it?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' As a Passover, and since it cannot be sacrificed as such it remains rejected and cannot be offered itself, as supra ');">⁸</span>

<big><strong>מתני׳</strong></big> הפסח שנתערב בזבחים כולן ירעו עד שיסתאבו וימכרו ויביא בדמי היפה שבהן ממין זה ובדמי היפה שבהן ממין זה [ויפסיד] המותר מביתו

Said Rabbah: In truth it is meant where he died before midday, and what does 'he must bring it as a Passover-offering' mean?

נתערב בבכורות ר"ש אומר אם חבורות כהנים יאכלו: <big><strong>גמ׳</strong></big>

He must bring it for the second Passover.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If he did not keep the first through his bereavement.');">⁹</span> Abaye said, It is taught disjunctively: If he died after midday, [and] his son is registered with him, he must bring it for the sake of a Passover. If he died before midday, [and] his son is not registered with him, he must bring it as a peace-offering. R'Sherabia said: In truth it means where he died after midday, the case being e.g. , where his father was in a dying condition at midday.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Hence if his son was registered with him, he must bring it as a Passover, since that obligation preceded his bereavement. But if his son was not registered with him, he must bring it as a peace-offering, for since his father was already in a dying condition, midday did not establish it as a Passover-offering.');">¹⁰</span> R'Ashi said: In truth it means that he died after midday,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' But was not necessarily dying at midday.');">¹¹</span> this being in accordance with R'Simeon, who maintained: Live animals cannot be [permanently] rejected.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Save when they become actually unfit, e.g.,if they receive a blemish or are given as a harlot's hire (v. Deut. XXIII, 19) .');">¹²</span> Rabina said: [It means] e.g. , where he set it aside after midday and its owner died after midday, and he holds: [only] midday establishes it.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' But not the rest of the time allotted for its slaughtering. Hence it has not been established and therefore it cannot be rejected. Consequently, if his son was not registered with him, he must bring it as a peace-offering.');">¹³</span> M I S H N A H. IF A PASSOVER-OFFERING BECAME MIXED UP WITH OTHER SACRIFICES, ALL MUST BE LEFT TO GRAZE UNTIL THEY BECOME UNFIT [THROUGH A BLEMISH], THEN BE SOLD, AND FOR THE PRICE OF THE BEST ONE MUST PURCHASE [AN ANIMAL] OF EACH DENOMINATION, AND MAKE UP<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'lose'.');">¹⁴</span> THE EXCESS FROM ONE'S PRIVATE PURSE.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'house'. Thus: if three lambs of unequal value, one dedicated for a Passover-offering, another for a guilt-offering, and the third for a burnt-offering, became mixed up, they must all be sold. Since the best may have been any of the three sacrifices, he must buy an animal for each sacrifice at the cost of the best; naturally he will need more than they realized, and he must make that up himself.-Instead of 'he must lose' there is a variant: 'and he must set aside'.');">¹⁵</span> IF IT BECAME MIXED UP WITH FIRSTLINGS,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which are offered in the same way as Passover-offerings, viz., the blood of both is sprinkled in the same way, and neither require the waving of the breast and shoulder, nor laying of the hands, nor libations.');">¹⁶</span> -R'SIMEON SAID: IF [THE PASSOVER-OFFERING BELONGED TO] A COMPANY OF PRIESTS, THEY EAT [ALL ON THAT NIGHT].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Stipulating at the time of slaughtering: 'Whichever is the Passover-offering, we sacrifice it as such, and whichever is the firstling, we offer it as such'.');">¹⁷</span>
