Quoting%20commentary for Chagigah 1:3
עוֹלוֹת בַּמּוֹעֵד בָּאוֹת מִן הַחֻלִּין, וְהַשְּׁלָמִים מִן הַמַּעֲשֵׂר. יוֹם טוֹב רִאשׁוֹן שֶׁל פֶּסַח, בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, מִן הַחֻלִּין, וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, מִן הַמַּעֲשֵׂר:
Burnt-offerings on Chol Hamoed are brought from chullin (non-consecrated monies); and peace-offerings, from the tithe. [Our Mishnah is defective. This is what was taught: Vow and gift burnt-offerings are brought on Chol Hamoed and not on yom tov; and the burnt-offering of "seeing" is brought even on yom tov. Even though it can be "paid" all seven days, its essential mitzvah is on the first day of the festival. And when it is brought, it is brought only from chullin. And peace-offerings of joy come from the tithe. That is, they may be brought from second-tithe monies. For peace-offerings of joy are not mandatory where there is (other) meat, and he has second-tithe money (to spend for them) in Jerusalem, so that with it he buys peace-offerings and eats them. But the first-day festival offering is mandatory, even if he has meat in abundance. And anything which is mandatory is brought from chullin and not from the tithe.] The (offering of) the first day of the festival of Pesach — Beth Shammai say: (It is brought) from chullin. Beth Hillel say: From the tithe. [("the first day of the festival of Pesach":) The same applies to the first days of the other festivals. Pesach is taught because on Pesach eve there is a different festival offering. When the company for (the eating) of the Pesach was large, they would bring a festival offering along with it, so that the Pesach offering would be eaten in satiety. Our Mishnah apprises us that it is the yom tov festival offering itself which is brought only from chullin, but the festival offering of the fourteenth (of Nissan) may be brought from the tithe. ("Beth Hillel say: From the tithe":) The gemara asks how this can be if it is mandatory and all mandatory things are brought only from chullin. And it answers: When he joins second-tithe money with chullin, i.e., If he has many "eaters," for which one animal will not suffice, he may bring one animal as a festival offering from chullin and others from second-tithe money. And even though the name "festival offering" attaches to all that are brought on the first day of the festival, Beth Hillel hold that it is permitted to bring the others from the tithe once he has already fulfilled his obligation with the first from chullin.]
