חגיגה פרק א׳ משנה ד׳

4
In general, Israelites fulfill their obligation to eat peace-offerings of rejoicing with their voluntary vows and gift offerings donated during the year and sacrificed on the Festival; and likewise with animal tithes. And the priests fulfill their obligation of rejoicing with the meat of sin-offerings and guilt-offerings and with firstborn offerings, as the priests receive a portion of these, and with the breast and thigh of peace-offerings, to which they are also entitled. However, they do not fulfill their obligation with birds, e.g., a bird sacrificed as a sin-offering, nor with meal-offerings, as only the eating of meat constitutes rejoicing.
יִשְׂרָאֵל יוֹצְאִין יְדֵי חוֹבָתָן בִּנְדָרִים וּנְדָבוֹת וּבְמַעְשַׂר בְּהֵמָה, וְהַכֹּהֲנִים בַּחַטָּאוֹת וּבָאֲשָׁמוֹת וּבַבְּכוֹר וּבֶחָזֶה וָשׁוֹק, אֲבָל לֹא בָעוֹפוֹת וְלֹא בַמְּנָחוֹת:
ד׳

יוצאין ידי חובתן – [they fulfill their religious obligations] of peace-offerings of rejoicing, offerings made by vow and free-will offerings (see Mishnah Kinnim, Chapter 1, Mishnah 1) and the tithing of cattle, as it is written (Deuteronomy 16:14): “You shall rejoice in your festival…,” to include all kinds of joyous occasions, for the Biblical verse does not require other than rejoicing, and the Master said: There is no rejoicing other than through the eating of meat, and this [sacrifice] is meat.

אבל לא בעופות ולא במנחות – as it is written (Deuteronomy 16:14): “You shall rejoice in your festival…” The Torah said, make a joyous celebration from whomever the Festival offering comes, excluding birds and meal-offerings for the Festival Offering does not come from them.

יוצאין ידי חובתן. של שלמי שמחה:

בנדרים ונדבות ומעשר בהמה. דכתיב (שם ט״ז) ושמחת בחגך, לרבות כל מיני שמחות, דקרא לא בעי אלא שמחה, ואמר מר אין שמחה אלא בבשר, והאי בשר הוא:

אבל לא בעופות ולא במנחות. דכתיב ושמחת בחגך, אמרה תורה עשה שמחה ממי שחגיגה באה מהן, יצאו עופות ומנחות שאין חגיגה באה מהן:

חגיגה פרק א׳ משנה ה׳

5
One who has many eaters, i.e., members of his household, and a small amount of property, may bring many peace-offerings and few burnt-offerings, so he can feed the members of his household with the peace-offerings. If one has much property and few eaters, he should bring many burnt-offerings and few peace-offerings. If both these and those, his property and the members of his household, are few, with regard to this individual it is stated in the mishna (2a) that the Sages established the smallest amount of one silver ma’a for the burnt-offering of appearance in the Temple and two silver coins for the Festival peace-offerings. If both his eaters and his property are many, with regard to this individual it is stated: “Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord your God, which He has given you” (Deuteronomy 16:17).
מִי שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ אוֹכְלִים מְרֻבִּים וּנְכָסִים מֻעָטִים, מֵבִיא שְׁלָמִים מְרֻבִּים וְעוֹלוֹת מֻעָטוֹת. נְכָסִים מְרֻבִּים וְאוֹכְלִין מֻעָטִין, מֵבִיא עוֹלוֹת מְרֻבּוֹת וּשְׁלָמִים מֻעָטִין. זֶה וָזֶה מֻעָט, עַל זֶה נֶאֱמַר, מָעָה כֶסֶף וּשְׁתֵּי כָסֶף. זֶה וָזֶה מְרֻבִּים, עַל זֶה נֶאֱמַר (דברים טז) אִישׁ כְּמַתְּנַת יָדוֹ כְּבִרְכַּת יְיָ אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר נָתַן לָךְ:

אוכלין מרובין – the members of the household are many

מביא שלמים מרובין – many festival peace-offerings according to [the number] of consumers that he has.
