拉比阿奇瓦 对 拉比以利以谢 说:或者我们可以把你的理路倒过来说:既然照我们所领受的传述,安息日洒那洁净之水——不过是拉比之律所禁的——尚且不越过安息日,那么宰一事既是托拉所禁的工,岂不更该不越过安息日么?(既是这样,逾越节前一日逢安息日时,宰逾越的羊羔本当是禁的。)拉比以利以谢 对他说:阿奇瓦,你怎能说这话?你这样便把托拉所写的连根拔了——「以色列人应当在所定的日期守逾越节」(民数记 9:2);「在所定的日期」一语正是显明这祭必在那一日献上,不论那一日是平日还是安息日。

Rabbi Akiva said to Rabbi Eliezer: Or perhaps we can reverse the order of your argument and say the opposite: If, as we know by accepted tradition, sprinkling the purifying water on Shabbat, which is prohibited only due to rabbinic decree, does not override Shabbat, then with regard to slaughter, which is prohibited as a biblically prohibited labor, is it not right that it should not override Shabbat?

既是这样,逾越节前一日逢安息日时,宰逾越的羊羔本当是禁的。
Therefore, it should be prohibited to slaughter the Paschal lamb when the eve of Passover occurs on Shabbat.

拉比以利以谢 对他说:阿奇瓦,你怎能说这话?
Rabbi Eliezer said to him: Akiva, how can you say this?

You have thus uprooted what is written in the Torah: “Let the children of Israel offer the Paschal lamb in its appointed time” (Numbers 9:2); the phrase “at its appointed time” indicates that the offering must be brought on that day, whether it is a weekday or Shabbat.
