one should even be flagellated too?1 Why did R. Zera say: Scripture transmuted it into a positive command?2 — Perhaps that is only according to the Rabbis,3 but in the view of R. Simeon, that indeed is so.4 R. Nahman b. Isaac said: Within, at Gilgal, was like without in comparison with Shiloh.5 Rabbah said: R. Simeon's reason is as it was taught: R. Simeon said: How do we know that one who sacrifices his Passover-offering at a private bamah when bamoth were prohibited, violates a negative command? Because it is said, ‘Thou mayest not sacrifice the Passover-offering [within one of thy gates]’.6 You might think that it is also thus when bamoth were permitted;7 therefore it is stated, ‘within one of thy gates’: I have told you [that he violates a negative injunction] only when all Israel enter through one gate.8 Now when is this thus? If we say, after midday,9 let him even incur kareth too!10 Hence It must surely mean before midday!11 — No: in truth it means after midday, but it means when bamoth were permitted. But surely he says, ‘When bamoth were prohibited’? — He means when the bamah was forbidden for that [sacrifice], but permitted for another.12 BEFORE TIME etc. Are these then subject to guilt-offerings? — Said Ze'iri: Include a leper amongst them.13 THEIR BURNT-OFFERINGS AND THEIR PEACE-OFFERINGS.

Shesheth, the Tannaim did not include it.15 R. Hilkiah b. Tobi said: They learnt it16 only [when he sacrifices it] for its own sake. But [if he sacrifices it] under a different designation17 he is culpable, since it is eligible, under a different designation, within.18 If so, let him also be culpable [when he slaughters it] for its own sake, since it was eligible, under a different designation, within? — It lacks abrogation. 19 To this R. Huna demurred: Is there anything which [when slaughtered] for its own sake is not fit, yet [when slaughtered] under a different designation is fit? 20 — Is there not? Surely the Tent of Meeting of the wilderness, naturally ranked as within, yet Scripture said ‘Ye shall not do’. — The transgression of a negative injunction is punished by flagellation. flagellated, for now we find the negative injunction only in connection with slaughtering without, but not in connection with slaughtering within.

This then is what he means: You might think that this is so even when it (the Passover-offering) may be sacrificed at a bamah, viz., before midday, when it can be offered as a peace-offering; therefore it says, ‘in one of thy gates’. I have told . . . ‘at one gate ,viz., at the public bamah, to slaughter their Passover-offerings, which is after midday. deletes ‘leper’.
