Core Text — Zevachim 8b
פֶּסַח שֶׁלֹּא בִּזְמַנּוֹ שֶׁשְּׁחָטוֹ שֶׁלֹּא לִשְׁמוֹ כָּשֵׁר, דִּכְתִיב ״וְאִם מִן הַצֹּאן קָרְבָּנוֹ לְזֶבַח שְׁלָמִים״ — דָּבָר הַבָּא מִן הַצֹּאן לִשְׁלָמִים.

English: A pesach not in its time that was slaughtered not for its own sake is valid, as it is written “and if from the flock is his offering for a sacrifice of shelamim” — something that comes from the flock as shelamim.

In the sugya: The verse that opens the flock-shelamim section is used to recharacterize an out-of-season pesach that has been slaughtered shelo lishmah.

Type of Learning

Pesach outside its time as shelamim — an out-of-season pesach slaughtered shelo lishmah is treated as valid shelamim.

What Is Learned

An out-of-season pesach slaughtered shelo lishmah is treated as valid shelamim. The Gemara reads the verse’s description of a flock animal brought “for a sacrifice of shelamim” as supplying the legal identity that such a pesach acquires. The result is that the animal is no longer disqualified by its original pesach designation once the time for pesach has passed and the slaughter was not for that purpose.
