אַף הוּא אָמַר שְׁלֹשָׁה דְבָרִים לְהָקֵל. מְכַבְּדִין בֵּין הַמִּטּוֹת, וּמְנִיחִין אֶת הַמֻּגְמָר בְּיוֹם טוֹב, וְעוֹשִׂים גְּדִי מְקֻלָּס בְּלֵילֵי פְסָחִים. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹסְרִים:

He (R. Gamliel) also stated three leniencies: It is permitted (on Yom Tov) to sweep between the beds [on which they used to recline to eat], and mugmar (frankincense) may be placed [on coals, to be inhaled] on Yom Tov. [But all hold that it is forbidden to do so to "scent" the vessels], and it is permitted to eat a "helmeted" (mekulass) goat on Pesach night. [Its legs and innards hung at its side when they roasted it. They would do this as a remembrance of the Pesach offering, in respect to which it is written (Exodus 12:9): "its head with its legs with its innards." ("mekulas":) like a warrior, whose weapons are at his side. The targum of "a copper helmet" is "kulsa denachsha."] And the sages forbid [all three: sweeping, because of the making of holes; mugmar, because it is not needed by all, but only by the very delicate or those with body odor; a "helmeted" goat, because it gives the impression of consecrated food being eaten outside (the sanctuary). The halachah is in accordance with the sages.]

Tosefta Beitzah (Lieberman)

The members of the house of Rabban Gamliel’s used to sweep between the beds on the holiday. R. Elazar ben Zadok said: Often I ate in Rabban Gamliel’s house, but I have never seen the beds swept on a holiday. Rather, linen cloths were spread out the day before the holiday, and when the guests had gone, they were removed. They said to him: If this is so, then it is permitted to do so on the Sabbath too.

Tosefta Beitzah (Lieberman)

The members of Rabban Gamliel’s house used to bring incense in a megipa. R. Elazar ben Zadok said: Often I ate in Rabban Gamliel’s house, but I have never seen incense put in a megipa. On the day before the holiday, people smoked with boxes, and when the guests came, they opened them. They said to him, if this is so, then it is permitted to do so on the Sabbath too.
