“There H HhH Hyou shall slaughter the Paschal lamb in the evening,

at the setting of the sun, in the season of your liberation from Egypt” (Dt.16:6).

R. Eliezer says:

In the evening—[this is when] you slay it;

at the setting of the sun—[this is when] you eat it;

at the season of your liberation from Egypt—[this is] when you burn it.

 

R. Akiva says:

In the evening—[this is] when you slay it;

at the setting of the sun—[this is when] you eat it.

Until when [may you eat it]?

At the season of your liberation from Egypt

until the next morning (i.e., Ex.12:51; Nu.33:3).

 

Another word:

At the season—[the month of Aviv,] when you slaughter it.

At the setting of the sun— [of the 14th of Aviv], when you roast it.

In the evening [of the 15th of Aviv], when you eat it .2
