יוֹסֵי בֶן חוֹנִי אוֹמֵר, הַנִּשְׁחָטִים לְשֵׁם פֶּסַח וּלְשֵׁם חַטָּאת, פְּסוּלִים. שִׁמְעוֹן אֲחִי עֲזַרְיָה אוֹמֵר, שְׁחָטָן לְשֵׁם גָּבוֹהַּ מֵהֶם, כְּשֵׁרִין. לְשֵׁם נָמוּךְ מֵהֶם, פְּסוּלִים. כֵּיצַד. קָדְשֵׁי קָדָשִׁים שֶׁשְּׁחָטָן לְשֵׁם קָדָשִׁים קַלִּים, פְּסוּלִין. קָדָשִׁים קַלִּים שֶׁשְּׁחָטָן לְשֵׁם קָדְשֵׁי קָדָשִׁים, כְּשֵׁרִין. הַבְּכוֹר וְהַמַּעֲשֵׂר שֶׁשְּׁחָטָן לְשֵׁם שְׁלָמִים, כְּשֵׁרִין. וּשְׁלָמִים שֶׁשְּׁחָטָן לְשֵׁם בְּכוֹר, לְשֵׁם מַעֲשֵׂר, פְּסוּלִין:

Yose ben Choni says: Those [animals] which are slaughtered for the sake of a Passover offering and for the sake of a <i>Chattat</i> are invalid. Shimon Achi Azariah says: if they were slaughtered for the sake of a higher-level offering they are valid; for the sake of a lower-level offering they are invalid. How so? <i>Kodshai Kodashim</i> [sacrifices of the highest degree of sanctity. They may be slaughtered only on the north-west corner of the altar, and consumed only within the Temple compound by male priests, or burnt entirely] that were slaughtered for the sake of <i>Kodashim Kalim</i> [sacrifices of a lesser degree of sanctity. They may be slaughtered anywhere in the Temple courtyard and consumed by most anyone, anywhere in Jerusalem] are invalid. <i>Kodashim Kalim</i> that were slaughtered for the sake of <i>Kodshai Kodashim </i> are valid. The <i>Bechor</i> [first-born offering] or a <i>Ma'aser</i> [animal tithe] that were slaughtered for the sake of a <i>Shelamim</i> [an offering whose various parts are consumed by its owners, the Kohanim and the fire on the altar] are valid. And <i>Shelamim</i> that were slaughtered for the sake of a <i>Bechor</i> or for the sake of <i>Ma'aser</i> are invalid.

Tosefta Pesachim

[If] he slaughtered another [offering] for the purpose [of being a Passover offering] on the fourteenth [of Nissan], Rabbi Eliezer disqualifies it and Rabbi Yehoshua deems it fit. Said Rabbi Yehoshua, "Just as on the other days of the year in which [the Passover offering] is not fit for its own purpose but is fit for another purpose, then on the fourteenth, in which it is fit for its own purpose, is not logical that it would also be fit for other offerings to be offered for its purpose?" Rabbi Eliezer said to him, "No (alt., "Or reverse the matter" (או חלוף הדברים), see GR"A). If you hold that on the other days of the year in which it is not fit [to be sacrificed] for its own purpose [but] it is fit for another purpose, [then] on the fourteenth in which it is fit for its purpose, is it not logical that it would be fit not only for its own purpose but also for another purpose? And you must hold this way, because [according to your logic] if other sacrifices are rendered fit [when offered] for their own purpose on the other days of the year, so too [the Passover offering] would be fit to be offered for other purposes and other offerings would be fit to be offered for its purpose on the fourteenth -- but it is not fit to be offered for other purposes [on the fourteenth]." Rabbi Yehoshua said to him, "You have weakened the power of Passover and you have [simultaneously] given power to peace offerings."
