2. “The passover offering, which was slaughtered without intention—and the
priest took its blood, and he went and sprinkled it without intention?” or
“with intention, and without intention?” or “without intention and with
intention?” “It is disallowed.” “How can it be with intention and without
intention?” “With intention partly for the passover, and with intention
partly for peace-offerings.” “Without intention and with intention?” “With
intention partly for peace-offerings, and with intention partly for the
passover-offering.”
3. “If he slaughtered the passover for those who may not legally eat
it—for those who are not reckoned in one company—for the uncircumcised,
and for the unclean?” “It is disallowed.” “For those who may eat, and for
those who may not eat it?” “For those who are reckoned in one company, and
for those who are not so reckoned?” “For circumcised, and for
uncircumcised?” “For unclean, and for clean?” “It is allowed.” “If he
slaughtered it before noon?” “It is disallowed.” Because it is said
“between the evenings.”(152) “If he slaughtered it before the daily
offering?” “It is allowed.” Except that one must keep stirring(153) its
blood, till the blood of the daily offering be sprinkled. “But if it be
_even_ sprinkled (before?)” “It is lawful.”
4. “He who slaughtered the passover-offering possessing leaven?” “He
transgressed a negative command.”(154) Rabbi Judah said, “this applies
even to the daily offering (of that evening).” Rabbi Simon said, “the
slaughter of the passover on the fourteenth with intention for the
passover makes (a man possessing leaven) guilty; but if it be slaughtered
without intention for the passover he is free.” “And in all other
sacrifices during the feast, whether one sacrifice with or without the
proper intention?” “He is free.” “When one thus offers in the feast itself
with proper intention?” “He is free.” “Without proper intention?” “He is
guilty.” “And in all the other sacrifices, when one possessing leaven
offers either with or without intention?” “He is guilty, only excepting
the sin-offering, which was slaughtered without intention.”
5. The passover was slaughtered(155) for three bands in succession, as is
said, “The whole assembly of the congregation of Israel”(156)—assembly,
congregation, Israel. The first band entered, the court was filled, the
doors of the court were locked. The trumpeters blew with the trumpets,
blew an alarm, and blew. The priests stood in rows, and in their hands
were bowls of silver and bowls of gold. All the silver row was entirely
silver, and all the golden row was entirely gold. They were not mingled.
And the bowls were not flat-bottomed, lest they should lay them down, and
the blood be coagulated.
