Pesachim

is eaten on the ninth, the tenth, or the eleventh [day],1 neither earlier nor later.2 How so? Normally it is eaten on the ninth [day]: it is baked on the eve of the Sabbath [and] eaten on the Sabbath [of the following week], [which is] on the ninth. If a Festival occurred on the eve of the Sabbath, it is eaten on the Sabbath, on the tenth.3 [If] the two Festival days of New Year4 [occurred before the Sabbath], it is eaten on the Sabbath on the eleventh day, because it [the baking of the shewbread] does not override either the Sabbath or the Festival. Now if you say [that] the requirements of the Sabbath may be prepared on a Festival, why does it not override the Festival?5 — Said he to him, A near shebuth they permitted; a distant shebuth they did not permit.6 Then according to R. Simeon b. Gamaliel, who said on the authority of R. Simeon the son of the Segan:7 It overrides the Festival, but it does not override the fast-day,8 what is to be said?9 — They differ in this: one Master holds, They permitted a near shebuth, [but] a distant shebuth they did not permit; while the other Master holds: a distant shebuth too they permitted.10 R. Mari raised an objection: The two loaves11 are eaten neither less than two [days after baking] nor more than three [days after baking].12 How so? They were baked on the eve of the Festival [and] eaten on the Festival, [i.e.,] on the second [day]. If the Festival fell after the Sabbath,13 they are eaten on the Festival, on the third [day], because it [the baking] does not override either the Sabbath or the Festival.14 But if you say [that] the requirements of the Sabbath may be prepared on the Festival, seeing that [those] of the Sabbath are permitted on the Festival, is there a question about [those] of the Festival on the Festival! There it is different, because Scripture saith, [Save that which every man must eat, that only may be done] for you:15 ‘for you’, but not for the Most High.16 Then according to R. Simeon b. Gamaliel who said on the authority of R. Simeon the son of the Segan: It overrides the Festival, what is there to be said? — He holds as Abba Saul, who interpreted: ‘for you’, but not for Gentiles.17 R. Hisda sent to Rabbah by the hand of R. Aha son of R. Huna: But do we say ‘since’? Surely we learned: One may plough one furrow, and be culpable for it on account of eight negative injunctions. [Thus:] he who ploughs with an ox and an ass [together], which are sacred, [and the furrow consists of] kil'ayim in a vineyard, and removed the following Sabbath and eaten; when it was removed it was replaced by fresh bread. sometimes kept two days v. R.H. 30b. Glos.) and as since does not apply to the Temple. Sabbath, but not when it would only be required a week later. this is precisely the point of the controversy: the first Tanna holds that the requirements of the Sabbath may not be prepared on a Festival, while R. Simeon b. Gamaliel holds that they may be prepared. But on your view that the first Tanna too holds that the requirements of the Sabbath may be prepared on a Festival, but that here it is forbidden as a distant shebuth, R. Simeon b. Gamaliel should merely state that even a distant Shebuth is permitted.
