10. “Bones and tendons and what is left over?” “They must be burned on the
sixteenth.” “If the sixteenth happened on a Sabbath?” “They must be burned
on the seventeenth, because they cannot abrogate either the laws of the
Sabbath or the holiday.”
11. All that is eaten in a great ox may be eaten in a tender kid, and the
tops of the shoulder-blades, and the gristle. “Whoever broke any bone in a
clean passover?” “He must receive forty stripes.” “But for what is left
over in the clean, and broken in an unclean passover?” “He does not
receive the forty”.
12. “A member partly displaced?” “One must cut in till he reach the bone,
and he must peel off the flesh till he reach the joint, and he cuts it
off. But in other holy offerings one may cleave the displaced members with
an axe, since there does not exist any (prohibition of) breaking the bone
for them.” (For example), from the door-post and inwards is inside. From
the door-post and outwards is outside. The windows and thickness of the
wall are reckoned as inside.
13. “Two companies which eat the passover in one house?” “These turn their
faces to this side and eat; and those turn their faces to that side and
eat. And the boiler(173) is between the companies. The servant stands to
mix wine. The servant must shut his mouth till he serve the other company.
He afterward turns his face till he reach his own company, and then he may
eat. And she who is newly married can turn her face aside and eat it.”
Chapter VIII
1. “The married woman, while she is in the house of her husband?” “Her
husband slaughtered on her account, and her father slaughtered on her
account?” “She must eat the passover with her husband.” “She went to spend
the first feast after her marriage in the house of her father—her father
slaughtered on her account, and her husband slaughtered on her account?”
“She may eat in the place which she wishes.” “An orphan on whose account
the guardians slaughtered?” “He may eat in the place which he wishes.” “A
slave of two partners?” “He must not eat with both.” “A slave who is half
free?” “He must not eat with his master.”
2. One said to his slave, “go and slaughter for me the passover.” “He
slaughtered a kid?” “He may eat it.” “He slaughtered a lamb?” “He may eat
it.” “He slaughtered a kid and a lamb?” “He may eat of the first.” “He
forgot what his master said to him—what shall he do?” “He must slaughter a
lamb and a kid, and shall say, ‘If my master said to me—a kid, the kid is
on his account, and the lamb is on my account; and if my master said to
me—a lamb, the lamb is for him, and the kid is for me.’ ” “If his master
forgot what he said to him?” “Both animals must go forth to the house of
burning; and they are free from keeping the second passover.”
