A new Mishnah discusses whether or not the pascal lamb is permitted if it was not brought at the right time. It might be valid because it is like another offering that was kosher even though it was brought at the wrong time. Another argument is that the pascal lamb must be offered at a very specific time to be permitted. We continue to think about what is permitted and what is not permitted before the official start of Pesach.

Is the daily afternoon offering in the afternoon allowed to be offered any time during the day as well? This is successfully challenged, again by considering other practices that might be dependent on a particular period of time - an example is the menorah, where the lighting actually lasts for the day.

We discuss the two Talmuds and their differences.
