(א) מי שהיה טמא או בדרך רחוקה, ולא עשה את הראשון, יעשה את השני. שגג או נאנס ולא עשה את הראשון, יעשה את השני. אם כן, למה נאמר טמא או שהיה בדרך רחוקה, שאלו פטורין מן ההכרת, ואלו חיבין בהכרת.
(ב) איזו היא דרך רחוקה, מן המודיעים ולחוץ, וכמדתה לכל רוח, דברי רבי עקיבא. רבי אליעזר אומר: מאסקפת העזרה ולחוץ. אמר רבי יוסי: לפיכך נקוד על ה' לומר, לא מפני שרחוקה ודאי, אלא מאסקפת העזרה ולחוץ.
(ג) מה בין פסח ראשון לשני, הראשון אסור בבל יראה ובל ימצא, והשני - מצה וחמץ עמו בבית. הראשון טעון הלל באכילתו, והשני אינו טעון הלל באכילתו. זה וזה טעון הלל בעשיתן, ונאכלין צלי על מצות ומרורים, ודוחין את השבת.
(ד) הפסח שבא בטמאה, לא יאכלו ממנו זבין וזבות נדות ויולדות. ואם אכלו - פטורים מכרת. רבי אליעזר פוטר אף על ביאת מקדש.
(1) “[The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to the children of Israel, saying: If anyone of you or of your generations] Was unclean [by reason of contact with a dead body] or on a distant journey” (Numbers 9:9-10) And did not observe the first [Passover], [Then] he must observe the second [Passover]. [If] he [unintentionally] erred Or was prevented And did not observe the first [Passover], [Then] he must observe the second [Passover]. If so [asked the Mishnah], Why is it said (in Numbers 9:10): [That those] “unclean [by reason of contact with a dead body] or on a distant journey” [observe the second Passover]? [The Mishnah answers: It is to teach] that these [“unclean by reason of contact with a dead body or on a distant journey”] are exempt from being cut off from their kin, But those [who deliberately fail to observe the Passover] are liable to being cut off from their kin.
(2) What is “a distant journey” (within the meaning of Numbers 9:10)? From Modi’in and beyond, And the same distance in any direction [from Jerusalem is a distant journey] — [These are] the words of Rabbi Akiva. Rabbi Eliezer says: [A journey is distant anytime one leaves] from the threshold of the Temple Court and beyond. Said Rabbi Yose [to Rabbi Eliezer]: For that reason there is a dot over the letter hei [ in the word rechokah - “distant” - in Numbers 9:10], [In order] to teach: Not because it is really distant, But [when one has departed] from the threshold of the Temple Court and beyond [One is regarded as being on “a distant journey”].
(3) What is the difference between the first Passover and the second [Passover]? The first [Passover] is subject to the prohibition that “[Leaven] shall not be seen [with you]” (Exodus 13:7) And “[leaven] shall not be found [in your houses]” (Exodus 12:19); While at the second [Passover, One may have both] leavened and unleavened bread in the house. The first [Passover] requires [the reciting of] Hallel (Psalms 113–118) when [the Passover lamb] is eaten, While the second [Passover] does not require [the reciting of] Hallel when it is eaten. But both [first and second Passover] require [the reciting of] Hallel when they are offered, And they [both] are eaten roasted with unleavened bread and bitter herbs, And they [both] override the Sabbath.
(4) If a Pesach sacrifice is [permitted to be] brought in [a state] of impurity, zavim [males who have certain types of atypical genital discharges, which render them impure], zavot [females who have certain types of atypical genital discharges, distinct from their menses, which render them impure], niddot [women who have menstruated and are thereby impure] and women [rendered impure by virtue of] having given birth may not eat from it; but if they ate [from it], they are exepmt from karet. Rabbi Eliezer also exempts [them from karet if they] enter the Temple [in that state when the Pesach sacrifice is being brought in impurity].
