Tosefta Megillah
All of the day of the waving (i.e., the first day of the Omer, see Sukk. 3:12), it is forbidden to eat new grain. All of the seventh day [of Sukkot] one is obligated in sukkah, and all of the seventh day [of Sukkot] is valid for [waving] the lulav. All of the eighth day [after birth] is valid for circumcision. All of the night is valid for the reaping of the omer and for the burning of limbs and fat [leftover from the day's sacrifices]. The general principle is that anything commanded during the day is valid all day and anything commanded at night is valid all night. One is not liable for notar [leaving part of the shelamim sacrifice over] and the intention [at the time of the sacrifice to eat the shelamim sacrifice later] does not invalidate as pigul until dawn.

Tosefta Sukkah
The lulav suspends the Sabbath in the beginning of its duty, and the willow in the end of its duty. There is a story that some Boethusians once hid the willows under some great stones on the Sabbath eve; but when this had become known to the common people they came and dragged them out from under the stones on the Sabbath, for the Boethusians do not acknowledge that the beating of the willow suspends the Sabbath.

Tosefta Sukkah
At what time do they offer the libation ? With the pieces of the daily burnt-offering. There is a story of a certain Boethian that he poured the water over his feet, and all the people threw their citrons at him. On that day the horn of the altar was damaged, and the service ceased whilst they brought a lump of salt and put it on it that it might not appear to be damaged ; for any altar which has no horn, nor graded ascent, nor foundation is not valid. Rabbi Yose ben Rabbi Yehudah says, Also if there be no Sobeb.

Tosefta Sukkah
The libation of water occurred all the seven days of the festival; Rabbi Yehudah says all eight. He also says, One log were they pouring out all the eight days; but the sages say three logs, a little wine being added to the water and a little water to the wine.
