| 9God spoke to Moses, saying: |
|
טוַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהֹוָ֖ה אֶל־משֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר: |
| 10“Speak to the Israelites saying, ‘Any person who becomes ritually defiled from contact with a corpse, or is distant, whether among you or among your posterity, he may make a Passover sacrifice for God. |
|
ידַּבֵּ֛ר אֶל־בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֵאמֹ֑ר אִ֣ישׁ אִ֣ישׁ כִּי־יִֽהְיֶ֥ה טָמֵ֣א | לָנֶ֡פֶשׁ אוֹ֩ בְדֶ֨רֶךְ רְחֹקָ֜ה֗ לָכֶ֗ם א֚וֹ לְדֹרֹ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם וְעָ֥שָׂה פֶ֖סַח לַֽיהֹוָֽה: |
| אוֹ בְדֶרֶךְ רְחֹקָה - Or on (lit.) a distant way. There is a dot on the ה of רְחֹקָה in order to tell us that it does not have to be so distant that it absolutely prevents him from offering the Passover sacrifice; rather, it means that he was outside the threshold of the Courtyard during the entire time of slaughtering. When bringing the Second Passover, one may have both matzah and leaven with him in his house, as it is not a festival per se, and leaven is only prohibited to eat together with eating the Passover sacrifice itself, as it must be eaten with matzos. |

אוֹ בְדֶרֶךְ רְחֹקָה.
נָקוּד עָלָיו, לוֹמַר, לֹא שֶׁרְחוֹקָה וַדַּאי, אֶלָּא שֶׁהָיָה חוּץ לְאַסְקֻפַּת הָעֲזָרָה כָּל זְמַן שְׁחִיטָה (פסח' צ"ג); פֶּסַח שֵׁנִי מַצָּה וְחָמֵץ עִמּוֹ בַּבַּיִת, וְאֵין שָׁם יוֹם טוֹב, וְאֵין אִסּוּר חָמֵץ אֶלָא עִמּוֹ בַאֲכִילָתוֹ (שם צ"ה):
|
| 11He must offer it up in the afternoon of the 14th day of the second month. He must eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. |
|
יאבַּחֹ֨דֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִ֜י בְּאַרְבָּעָ֨ה עָשָׂ֥ר י֛וֹם בֵּ֥ין הָֽעַרְבַּ֖יִם יַֽעֲשׂ֣וּ אֹת֑וֹ עַל־מַצּ֥וֹת וּמְרֹרִ֖ים יֹֽאכְלֻֽהוּ: |
| 12He must not leave any of it over until morning, and he must not break any of its bones. He must offer it up in accordance with all the rules connected with the regular Passover sacrifice. |
|
יבלֹֽא־יַשְׁאִ֤ירוּ מִמֶּ֨נּוּ֙ עַד־בֹּ֔קֶר וְעֶ֖צֶם לֹ֣א יִשְׁבְּרוּ־ב֑וֹ כְּכָל־חֻקַּ֥ת הַפֶּ֖סַח יַֽעֲשׂ֥וּ אֹתֽוֹ: |
| 13But if a man who is ritually undefiled and is not on a journey neglects to offer up the Passover sacrifice, his soul will be cut off from his people, for he did not bring God’s offering in its appointed time; that person will bear his sin. |
|
יגוְהָאִישׁ֩ אֲשֶׁר־ה֨וּא טָה֜וֹר וּבְדֶ֣רֶךְ לֹֽא־הָיָ֗ה וְחָדַל֙ לַֽעֲשׂ֣וֹת הַפֶּ֔סַח וְנִכְרְתָ֛ה הַנֶּ֥פֶשׁ הַהִ֖וא מֵֽעַמֶּ֑יהָ כִּ֣י | קָרְבַּ֣ן יְהֹוָ֗ה לֹ֤א הִקְרִיב֙ בְּמֹ֣עֲד֔וֹ חֶטְא֥וֹ יִשָּׂ֖א הָאִ֥ישׁ הַהֽוּא: |
| 14If a convert dwells with you, and he becomes obligated to offer up the Passover sacrifice to God, he must offer it up according to the rules of the Passover sacrifice and its ordinances. One rule will apply to all of you, to the convert and to the native citizen.’” |
|
ידוְכִֽי־יָג֨וּר אִתְּכֶ֜ם גֵּ֗ר וְעָ֤שָׂה פֶ֨סַח֙ לַֽיהֹוָ֔ה כְּחֻקַּ֥ת הַפֶּ֛סַח וּכְמִשְׁפָּט֖וֹ כֵּ֣ן יַֽעֲשֶׂ֑ה חֻקָּ֤ה אַחַת֙ יִֽהְיֶ֣ה לָכֶ֔ם וְלַגֵּ֖ר וּלְאֶזְרַ֥ח הָאָֽרֶץ: |
| וְכִֽי־יָגוּר אִתְּכֶם גֵּר וְעָשָׂה פֶסַח - (lit.) If a convert dwells with you, and he must offer up the Passover sacrifice. From these words alone I might think that whoever converts must offer a Passover sacrifice immediately upon converting. Scripture therefore states: “one rule will apply to all of you….” Rather than what one would have otherwise supposed, this is the meaning of this phrase: if a convert dwells with you and the time comes to offer up the Passover sacrifice with his fellow Jews, he must offer it up according to its rules and ordinances. |
|
וְכִֽי־יָגוּר אִתְּכֶם גֵּר וְעָשָׂה פֶסַח.
יָכוֹל כָּל הַמִּתְגַּיֵּר יַעֲשֶׂה פֶסַח מִיָּד, תַּלְמוּד לוֹמָר "חֻקָּה אַחַת" וְגוֹ', אֶלָּא כָּךְ מַשְׁמָעוֹ — "וְכִי יָגוּר אִתְּכֶם גֵּר" וּבָא לַעֲשׂוֹת פֶּסַח עִם חֲבֵרָיו, "כְּחֻקַּת הַפֶּסַח וּכְמִשְׁפָּטוֹ יַעֲשֶׂה" (ספרי):
