2. “And you shall turn around in the morning and travel to your homes”448Heb:’ohaleihem; literally, “tents.” (Dt.16:7). This teaches that [pilgrims with Passover offerings] require an over-night stay in Jerusalem.
I infer only that they alone require an overnight stay. On what basis do I know to include under this rule [pilgrims with] bird-offerings, grain-offerings, wine-libations, frankincense, or wood-offerings? The Teaching states: “And you shall turn” (Dt.16:7)— any turning [from Jerusalem] that you make, must be from the morning and thereafter.
3. R. Judah says: Is it possible to say that even the Minor Passover,449The scriptural rule for the Minor Passover is at Nu. 9:9-13. requires an over-night stay in Jerusalem? The Teaching states: “And you shall turn around in the morning and travel to your homes” (Dt.16:7). And it continues: “Six days shall you eat unleavened-bread” (Dt.16:8). [Conclude from this:] a rite requiring six days, also requires an over-night stay. This excludes the Minor Passover, which is a rite requiring only one day. But sages say: Look—the Minor Passover is like the wood-offering and frankincense, [lasting for only a day, but] requiring an over-night stay in Jerusalem.
4. “Six days shall you eat unleavened-bread” (Dt.16:8). R. Shimon says: One verse states— “six days shall you eat unleavened-bread” (Dt.16:8), but another verse states— “Seven days unleavened-bread shall you eat” (Ex.12:15)— [how do we reconcile this apparent contradiction]? Unleavened-bread is eaten all seven days— but for six days eat it from the new grain, and on the seventh day eat unleavened-bread from the old year’s grain.450// Mechilta Ishmael, paskha’, 8.
