משנה: הָאוֹמֵר לְעַבְדּוֹ צֵא וּשְׁחוֹט עָלַי אֶת הַפֶּסַח. שָׁחַט גְּדִי יֵאָכֵל שָׁחַט טָלֶה יֵאָכֵל. שָׁחַט גְּדִי וְטָלֶה יֹאכַל מִן הָרִאשׁוֹן. שָׁכַח מָה אָמַר לוֹ רַבּוֹ כֵּיצַד יַעֲשֶׂה. יִשְׁחוֹט גְּדִי וְטָלֶה וְיֹאמַר אִם גְּדִי אָמַר לִי רַבִּי גְּדִי שֶׁלוֹ וְטָלֶה שֶׁלִי. וְאִם טָלֶה אָמַר לִי רַבִּי טָלֶה שֶׁלּוֹ וּגְדִי שֶׁלִּי. שָׁכַח רַבּוֹ מָה אָמַר לוֹ שְׁנֵיהֶן יֵצְאוּ לְבֵית הַשְּרֵפָה וּפְטוּרִין מִלַּעֲשׂוֹת פֶּסַח שֵׁנִי׃ MISHNAH: One says to his slave, go and slaughter the Pesaḥ for me53He delegates him to dedicate and slaughter the Pesaḥ without detailed instructions about what to do.. If he slaughtered a kid goat, it should be eaten; if he slaughtered a lamb, it should be eaten. If he slaughtered kid goat and lamb, one eats from the first. If he forgot what his master had told him54But he remembers that he was instructed to buy a particular kind of animal. Then he is not empowered to dedicate an animal not conforming to his master’s instructions; also a Pesaḥ may not be dedicated if it is known beforehand that it will not be eaten. Since only two kinds of animal are allowed fur Pesaḥ, the slave can resolve the problem by buying two animals and making sure that there are people able to eat either one of them., what can he do? He shall slaughter a kid goat and a lamb and say, if my master said to me a kid goat, the kid goat is his and the lamb mine, but if my master said to me a lamb, the lamb is his and the kid goat mine. If his master had forgotten what he told him, both shall be brought to the place of burning55Since it cannot be determined which animal has to be slaughtered for him and since “Pesaḥ comes only for its eaters,” the slaughter cannot permit the meat to be eaten. But since an attempt was made to bring the First Pesaḥ, the conditions for a Second are not satisfied. but they are free from bringing the Second Pesaḥ.

HALAKHAH: Rebbi Ḥiyya stated44Tosephta 7:3; cf. Babli 89b.: One who simultaneously subscribed to two Pesaḥim eats from the one which was slaughtered first. Rebbi Yose said, the Mishnah implies this; “if he slaughtered kid goat and lamb, one eats from the first.” Rebbi Eleazar and Rebbi Joḥanan both are saying, this is Rebbi Nathan’s since Rebbi Nathan said, one fulfills his obligation by pouring without eating. Rebbi Ḥizqiah in the name of Rebbi Abba bar Mamal: Explain it that the master forgot between slaughter and pouring56Babli 88b. Then the blood was poured when it was known that the Pesaḥ would be eaten and it is qualified according to everybody.. Rebbi Ḥizqiah said, one of the rabbis objected; some say that it was himself: Did we not state, “If he forgot what his master had told him, he shall slaughter a kid goat and a lamb57Since this presupposes that the master knows what he told him, the next sentence must deal with the case that the master did nor remember at the time of slaughter and the Mishnah necessarily follows R. Nathan.”?
אָמַר רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן. הִפְרִישׁ פִּסְחוֹ עַד שֶׁלֹּא נִתְגַּייֵר וְנִתְגַּייֵר. עַד שֶׁלֹּא נִשְׁתַּחְרֵר וְנִשְׁתַּחְרֵר. עַד שֶׁלֹּא הֵבִיא שְׁתֵּי שְׂעָרוֹת וְהֵבִיא שְׁתֵּי שְׂעָרוֹת. צָרִיךְ לְהִימָּנוֹת עַל פֶּסָח אַחֵר. אָמַר רִבִּי יוּדָן. כָּל־ הַסְּפֵיקוֹת דְּרִבִּי נָתָן אִינּוּן. חוּץ מִן הַזֻּוֹרֵק דַּם חַטָּאתוֹ וְדַם אֲשָׁמוֹ. סָפֵק בַּלַּיְלָה זָרַק סָפֵק בַּיּוֹם זָרַק. נַעֲשֶׂה כִּסְפֵק כַפָּרָה. וּסְפֵק כַפָּרָה כִיפֵּר. Rebbi Joḥanan said, if he dedicated a Pesaḥ before he converted and then converted58Since a Gentile may bring a well-being offering, and an unused Pesaḥ automatically reverts to a well-being offering, since the Gentile is barred from offering a Pesaḥ, he dedicated a well-being offering, and after conversion is without a dedicated Pesaḥ., before he was manumitted and then was manumitted, before he grew two pubic hairs59An adult is a person growing two pubic hairs. As a minor he has no obligation to bring a Pesaḥ; therefore he cannot dedicate one. and then grew two pubic hairs, has to subscribe to another Pesaḥ60However Maimonides (Qorban Pesaḥ4:9) and Meïri (Pesaḥim, ed. Y. Klein, Jerusalem 1964, p. 366b) read: “he brings [the animal when he is ineligible] as Pesaḥ.”. Rebbi Yudan said, all doubts61Whether a sacrifice required to be eaten (either by the Cohanim or by lay people) is acceptable in case that its blood was poured but it could not be eaten. follow Rebbi Nathan, except for him who pours the blood of his purification offering or the blood of his reparation offering when there is a doubt whether he poured during nighttime or poured during daytime62No sacrificial act is possible (except burning excess sacrifices) during nighttime., where there is a doubt of atonement, and every doubt of atonement atones63Even following the majority no other sacrifice is required..
