Rosh Hashanah 9

Chapter 9

א מה חג המצות טעון לינה אף חג הסוכות טעון לינה
1 just as on the feast of Passover [the celebrant is] required to stay overnight<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., the first night of the intermediate days (Rashi) .');"><sup>1</sup></span> [in Jerusalem], so on the feast of Tabernacles he is required to stay overnight.
ב והתם מנלן דכתיב (דברים טז, ז) ופנית בבקר והלכת לאהליך
2 How do we know this in the case of Passover? - Because it is written,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' In connection with the paschal lamb.');"><sup>2</sup></span> And thou shalt turn in the morning and go unto thy tents.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deut. XVI, 7. The morning of the first day of the festival obviously cannot be meant, as on that day the celebrant had to bring his festival offering.');"><sup>3</sup></span>
ג ות"ק ורבי שמעון (בן אלעזר) תשלומין לעצרת מנא להו
3 But whence then do the First Tanna and R'Simeon<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Who require the whole of this verse for the rule of 'not delaying'.');"><sup>4</sup></span> derive the rule of compensation for the Feast of Weeks? - They derive it from the statement of Rabbah B'Samuel; for Rabbah B'Samuel stated: The Torah said, Count days<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' As it is written. Ye shall not eat it one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days, but a whole month (Num. XI, 19, 20) .');"><sup>5</sup></span>
ד נפקא להו מדתני רבה בר שמואל דתני רבה בר שמואל אמרה תורה מנה ימים וקדש חדש מנה ימים וקדש עצרת מה חדש למנויו אף עצרת למנויו
4 and sanctify the new moon,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' By sacrifices, v. Num. XXVIII, 11.');"><sup>6</sup></span> count days and sanctify the Feast of Weeks,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. Lev. XXIII, 15. [Read with R. Hananel, Count weeks and sanctify the Feast of Weeks, v. Lev. XXIII, 15].');"><sup>7</sup></span>
ה אימא עצרת חד יומא אמר רבא אטו עצרת יומי מנינן שבועי לא מנינן והאמר מר מצוה למימני יומי ומצוה למימני שבועי ועוד חג שבועות כתיב
5 [indicating that] just as the new moon [is sanctified for the period corresponding with the unit of time] by which it is counted,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' It is counted by days and is sanctified for one day.');"><sup>8</sup></span> so the Feast of Weeks [is sanctified for the period corresponding with the unit of time] by which it is counted.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' It is counted by weeks and is sanctified for one week.');"><sup>9</sup></span>
ו ופסח בר מיקרב ברגלים הוא פסח זימנא קביעא ליה אי אקרביה אקרביה ואי לא אקרביה אידחי ליה
6 [In that case] I should say that [the compensation period of] the Feast of Weeks is only one day?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Since it also says, 'Ye shall count fifty days'. Ibid. 16.');"><sup>10</sup></span> - Raba replied: Do we count only days to the Feast of Weeks and not weeks [also]?
ז אמר רב חסדא פסח כדי נסבה
7 Has not a Master said, It is a mizwah to count days and it is also a mizwah to count weeks?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' To say, e.g., 'seven days which are one week to the 'omer'.');"><sup>11</sup></span> And further, we read in the text, 'the feast of weeks'.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deut. XVI, 16.');"><sup>12</sup></span>
ח רב ששת אמר מאי פסח שלמי פסח
8 But can the paschal lamb<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Mentioned above (p. 11) among the objects to which the rule of 'not delaying' applies.');"><sup>13</sup></span> be offered on any of the festivals?
ט אי הכי היינו שלמים תנא שלמים הבאין מחמת פסח ותנא שלמים הבאין מחמת עצמן סלקא דעתך אמינא הואיל ומחמת פסח קאתו
9 The paschal lamb [surely] has a fixed date:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Viz., the fourteenth of Nisan.');"><sup>14</sup></span> if it is brought then, well and goods but if not, it is rejected?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'pushed away'.');"><sup>15</sup></span> - R'Hisda replied: The paschal lamb is mentioned incidentally. R'Shesheth said: 'Paschal lamb' here means the peace-offering [brought] in lieu of the paschal lamb.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., peace-offerings of the paschal lamb'. If the paschal lamb was not brought at the proper time through being lost, another was declared to be a peace-offering in its place, and this came under the rule of 'not delaying'.');"><sup>16</sup></span> But if that is so, this is covered by the term peace-offerings'?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which also occurs in the Baraitha quoted.');"><sup>17</sup></span> - Our authority mentions the peace-offering [which is brought] in lieu of the paschal lamb and he also mentions the peace-offerings which are brought for their own sake. You might be inclined to think that [the former] being brought in lieu of the paschal lamb
