Pesachim 83: Burning Down the Bones
from Talking Talmud · host Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon
What do you do with the bones of the Korban Pesach? The mishnah says to burn them on the day after the day of eating the Korban Pesach, with any "notar" (leftover) - the question is why they are being burned, when only that which is edible is supposed to be burned. Also, that burning is shifted to the 17th of Nisan if the 16th is Shabbat (in which Anne and Yardaena think this deferral is sensible or puzzling, respectively). What about other korbanot that are burned on Shabbat? The biblical verses limit what's done when, including proofs from other arenas (like brit milah).
