1:6:1

משנה: מִי שֶׁלֹּא חָג בְּיוֹם טוֹב הָרִאשׁוֹן שֶׁל חָג חוֹגֵג אֶת כָּל הָרֶגֶל וְיוֹם טוֹב הָאַחֲרוֹן. עָבַר הָרֶגֶל וְלֹא חָג אֵינוֹ חַיָיב בְּאַחֲרָיוּתוֹ. עַל זֶה נֶאֱמַר מְעוּוָת לֹא יוּכַל לִתְקוֹן וְחֶסְרוֹן לֹא יוּכַל לְהִימָּנוֹת:

MISHNAH: Someone who did not bring his holiday sacrifice on the first day of the holiday may bring it during the entire festival including the last day of the festival140Even though the last day is a full holiday with all the restrictions imposed on such a day; the only day not suitable for the holiday sacrifice is the Sabbath.. Once the festival has passed he is not liable for its warranty141While in general the Temple has the power to force people to perform the sacrifices due, this does not extend to the holiday sacrifice even though it becomes a fixed obligation with the votary’s entry into the Temple domain. The neglect of the duty cannot be made up by a later sacrifice. On Pentecost which is one day only the festival sacrifice may also be brought during the six days following.. On that it was said142Eccl. 1:15., the distorted cannot be repaired and the deficient cannot be made whole.

הלכה: רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן בְּשֵׁם רִבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל. נֶאֱמַר חֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר בַּפֶּסַח וְנֶאֱמַר חֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר בַּחַג. מַה חֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר בַּפֶּסַח יוֹם טוֹב הָאַחֲרוֹן תַּשְׁלוּמִין לָרִאשׁוֹן. אַף חֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר בַּחַג יוֹם טוֹב הָאַחֲרוֹן תַּשְׁלוּמִין לָרִאשׁוֹן. יְהוּדָה בַּר סַפְרָא בְשֵׁם רִבִּי הוֹשַׁעִיָה. וְחַגּוֹתֶם אוֹתוֹ חַג לַיי שִׁבְעַת יָמִים. וְכִי שִׁבְעָה הֵם. וַהֲלֹא שְׁמוֹנָה הֵם. אֶלָּא צֵא שַׁבָּת מֵהֶם הֲרֵי שִׁבְעָה. אָמַר רִבִּי יוֹסֵי. וְכִי מִיכָּן לָמַדְנוּ שֶׁאִין חֲגִיגָה דוֹחָה אֶת הַשַּׁבָּת. לֹא מִמָּקוֹם אַחֵר. הָתִיב רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן אֲחוֹי דְרַב סַפְרָא. וְהָא תַנֵּי. אַף בַּפֶּסַח כֵּן. מֵעַתַּה צֵא שַׁבָּת מֵהֶן הֲרֵי שִׁשָּׁה. הַגַּע עַצְמָךְ שֶׁחָל יוֹם טוֹב הָרִאשׁוֹן וְיוֹם טוֹב הָאַחֲרוֹן לִהְיוֹת בַּשַּׁבָּת. מֵעַתַּה צֵא מֵהֶם שְׁנֵי יָמִים הֲרֵי שִׁשָּׁה. אָתָא רִבִּי חֲנַנְיָה יְהוּדָה בַּר סַפְרָא בְשֵׁם רִבִּי הוֹשַׁעִיָה. וְחַגּוֹתֶם אוֹתוֹ חַג לַיי שִׁבְעַת יָמִים. וְכִי שִׁבְעָה הֵם. וַהֲלֹא שְׁמוֹנָה הֵם. אֶלָּא צֵא שַׁבָּת מֵהֶם. שֶׁכְּבָר לָמַדְנוּ שֶׁאֵין חֲגִיגָה דוֹחָה שַׁבָּת. מַה תַלְמוּד לוֹמַר תְּחָגּוּהוּ. אֶלָּא מְלַמֵּד שֶׁיּוֹם טוֹב הָאַחֲרוֹן תַּשְׁלוּמִין לָרִאשׁוֹן.

HALAKHAH: Rebbi Joḥanan in the name of Rebbi Ismael: It is said fifteenth regarding Passover and it is said fifteenth regarding Tabernacles143It is mentioned several times in the Pentateuch that the first day of the festival of unleavened bread, rabbinically called Peṣah, and the festival of booths both start on the 15th of their respective months. Since the particular source is not identified, the argument is informal and not binding as “equal cut”.. Since for the fifteenth which was said regarding Passover the last day is a make-up for the first144Since the Seventh Day of Passover has the same public sacrifices as the first., also for the fifteenth which was said regarding Tabernacles the last day is a make-up for the first. Jehudah bar Safra in the name of Rebbi Hoshaia: You shall bring a holiday sacrifice for the Eternal seven days145Lev. 23:41.. Are they seven? Are they not eight146While it is noted in Lev. 23:36 that the seven days of Tabernacles are immediately followed by a separate holiday on the eighth day, in Num. 29:35 the holiday appears as the Eighth Day of Tabernacles. This Eighth Day therefore has a double role, as last day of Tabernacles and as separate festival.? But remove Sabbath from them, there remain seven. Rebbi Yose said, do we infer from here that the holiday sacrifice does not push the Sabbath aside? Was it not from another place147Since the holiday offerings are private sacrifices they automatically are excluded on the Sabbath.? Rebbi Joḥanan the brother of Rav Safra objected, was it not stated, the same holds for Passover? Then remove Sabbath from them, there remain six148The argument of R. Hoshaia cannot be correct.. Think of it, if the first and the last holiday fall on the Sabbath, then remove two days from them and there remain six! There came Rebbi Ḥanania149He shows that the previous discussion was based on a faulty version of R. Hoshaia’s argument., Jehudah bar Safra in the name of Rebbi Hoshaia: You shall bring a holiday sacrifice for the Eternal seven days. Are they seven? Are they not eight? But remove Sabbath from them, since we already infer that the holiday sacrifice does not push the Sabbath aside; why does the verse say, bring on it a holiday sacrifice150This is a misquote of Ex. 12:14 for the last word in Lev. 23:41, תָּחֹ֥גּוּ אֹתֽוֹ; bring it as holiday sacrifice. Since the sacrifice is mentioned in the singular it is shown that there is a single required sacrifice for the eight-day festival of which up to seven are days of sacrifice. Sifra Emor Pereq 17.? But it teaches that the last day of the festival is make-up for the first.

אָמַר רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן. וְתַנֵּי כֵן. שְׁמִינִי רֶגֶל בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ. פַּיִיס בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ. בְּרָכָה בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָהּ. קָרְבָּן בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ. רֶגֶל. דְּאָמַר רִבִּי אַבּוּן בְּשֵׁם רִבִּי אָחָא. בְּכוּלְּהֹם כְּתִיב וּבַיּוֹם וְכָאן כְּתִיב בַּיּוֹם. לְלַמְּדָךְ שֶׁהוּא רֶגֶל בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ. פַּיִיס. אָמַר רִבִּי יוֹסֵי. מַתְנִיתָא אָמְרָה כֵן. בַּשְּׁמִינִי חָזְרוּ לַפַּיֵיס כִּרְגָלִים. בְּרָכָה. אָמַר רִבִּי לָא. זְמָן. קָרְבָּן. פַּר אֶחָד אַיִל אֶחָד.

151This is copied from Sukkah 5:7, Notes 131–135*. Rebbi Joḥanan said, it was stated so that the eighth day was a separate holiday, a separate lottery, a separate benediction, a separate sacrifice152Tosephta Sukkah 4:17.. Holiday, as Rebbi Abun said in the name of Rebbi Aḥa, for all of them is written and on day, but here is written on day, to teach you that it is a separate holiday153In the list of sacrifices for days 2–7 of Tabernacles the first words always are and on day, Num. 29:17,20,23,26,29,32, but the listing for the eighth day starts on the eighth day without connective (Num. 29:35).. Lottery, Rebbi Yose said, the Mishnah says this, “on the eighth day they returned to the lottery as on holidays.” Benediction, Rebbi La said, time154“Who let us live, and supported us, and let us reach this time.”. Sacrifice, one bull and one ram155In particular, religious obligations of a personal nature, which cannot be delegated, have precedence over study. Babli Moed Qatan 9b..
