Mishnayos Pesachim Perek 1 Mishnah 4

פסחים פרק א׳ משנה ד׳

4

The tanna’im disagree regarding until what time leaven may be eaten and at what time it must be removed on Passover eve. Rabbi Meir says: One may eat leaven the entire fifth hour of the fourteenth of Nisan, and one must burn it immediately afterward at the beginning of the sixth hour. Rabbi Yehuda says: One may eat the entire fourth hour and one places it in abeyance for the entire fifth hour, and one burns it at the beginning of the sixth hour.

רַבִּי מֵאִיר אוֹמֵר, אוֹכְלִין כָּל חָמֵשׁ, וְשׂוֹרְפִין בִּתְחִלַּת שֵׁשׁ. וְרַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אוֹכְלִין כָּל אַרְבַּע, וְתוֹלִין כָּל חָמֵשׁ, וְשׂוֹרְפִין בִּתְחִלַּת שֵׁשׁ:

Bartenura

ושורפין בתחלת שש – And even though that the entire sixth hour, according to the Torah is permissible [to burn the Hametz], the Rabbis decreed on it, lest they err and think about the seventh [hour] that it is the sixth [hour]. But [regarding] the fifth hour, they would not err to say [about] the seventh hour that is the fifth [hour], and it is permitted.

תולין כל חמש – and he doesn’t eat [Hametz], as a decree because on a cloudy day, that they would err and think about the seventh [hour] is the fifth [hour]. But however, he doesn’t have to burn it, and can feed it to his cattle. But [during] the sixth [hour], even deriving benefit is prohibit from the Rabbis, as a decree because of the seventh hour. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehuda.

ושורפין בתחלת שש. ואע״ג דכל שעה שישית מדאורייתא שריא, גזרו רבנן עליה דלמא טעו וסבור על השביעית שהיא שישית. אבל החמישית לא טעו למימר על השביעית שהיא חמישית, ומותר:

תולין כל חמש. ואינו אוכל, גזרה משום יום המעונן דטעי וסבר על השביעית שהיא חמישית. ומיהו לשרוף אינו צריך, ומאכיל לבהמתו. אבל ששית אף בהנאה אסור מדרבנן, גזירה משום שביעית. והלכה כר״י:
