Source Citation

Torah Temimah points to Yerushalmi Challah 2:1 (TT note on “מִמׇּחֳרַת הַפֶּסַח”).

Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Yerushalmi Challah
מִמׇּחֳרַת הַפֶּסַח — מִמׇּחֳרַת שְׁחִיטַת הַפֶּסַח, וְאֵימָתַי — בַּחֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר.

English: “On the morrow of the Pesach” — on the morrow of the slaughter of the Pesach. And when is that? On the fifteenth.

Type of Learning

Custom — defining “morrow of the Pesach” as the day after the fourteenth’s slaughter (the fifteenth), not the day after Yom Tov.

What Is Learned

The verse fixes that Israel left on the fifteenth, the day after the Pesach was slaughtered on the fourteenth — clarifying parallel language in Yehoshua about eating of the produce of the land.
