Quotation for Pesachim 5:3

שְׁחָטוֹ שֶׁלֹּא לְאוֹכְלָיו וְשֶׁלֹּא לִמְנוּיָיו, לַעֲרֵלִים וְלִטְמֵאִים, פָּסוּל. לְאוֹכְלָיו וְשֶׁלֹּא לְאוֹכְלָיו, לִמְנוּיָיו וְשֶׁלֹּא לִמְנוּיָיו, לְמוּלִים וְלַעֲרֵלִים, לִטְמֵאִים וְלִטְהוֹרִים, כָּשֵׁר. שְׁחָטוֹ קֹדֶם חֲצוֹת, פָּסוּל, מִשּׁוּם שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (שמות יב) בֵּין הָעַרְבָּיִם. שְׁחָטוֹ קֹדֶם לַתָּמִיד, כָּשֵׁר, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁיְּהֵא אֶחָד מְמָרֵס בְּדָמוֹ עַד שֶׁיִּזָּרֵק דַּם הַתָּמִיד. וְאִם נִזְרַק, כָּשֵׁר:

If he slaughtered it not for its eaters [e.g., for a sick man, an old man, and a child, who cannot eat an olive-size of flesh, and there are no others counted for it but they, it is pasul (unfit), it being written (Exodus 12:4): "A man according to his eating shall you count" — one who is capable of eating.], and not for those counted for it [i.e., if one company were counted for it and he slaughtered it for a different company], for the uncircumcised, [i.e., for Israelites whose brothers died because of circumcision (so that they were not circumcised), these being unfit to eat the Pesach, it being written (Exodus 12:48): "And no uncircumcised one shall eat of it."], and for the unclean [They, too, are forbidden to eat consecrated food, and they incur kareth if they do] (If he slaughtered it for any of the above), it is pasul. (If he slaughtered it) for its eaters and not for its eaters, for those counted for it and for those not counted for it, for the circumcised and the uncircumcised, for the unclean and the clean, it is kasher. [and it is not like "lishmo and not lishmo," which is pasul. For there the p'sul is in its body, i.e., the invalidating thought relates to the body of the offering, but with "for its eaters and not for its eaters, etc.", the invalidating thought does not relate to the body of the offering, but to something outside it.] If he slaughtered it before mid-day, it is pasul, it being written (Exodus 12:6): "towards evening." If he slaughtered it before the tamid it is kasher, so long as someone stirs its blood [so that it not congeal, so that it be fit for sprinkling] until the blood of the tamid has been sprinkled. And if it were sprinkled [before the blood of the tamid ], it is kasher. [For even though the Pesach follows the tamid, it being written in regard to the Pesach (Deuteronomy 16:6): "in the evening," (Exodus 12:6): "towards evening," it is not invalidated thereby.]
