The Torah in Parashat Behaalotecha issues several commands relevant to the consumption of the meat of Pesach Sheni – the sacrifice offered on the 14 th of Iyar by those who were unable to offer the Korban Pesach when it is meant to be brought, on the 14 th of Nissan. The first of these commands is “Al Masot U’mrorim Yocheluhu” (Bamidbar 9:11) – that the sacrifice must be eaten together with Masot and Maror, just like Pesch Rishon (the Korban Pesach offered at the proper time, on the 14 th of Nissan). As in the case of Pesach Rishon, the Masa eaten with Pesach Sheni must be “Masa Shemura” – Masa made from wheat which was guarded against contact with water from the time it was harvested. Likewise, as on Pesach Rishon, the Marror eaten with Pesach Sheni should preferably be what the Mishna calls “Hazeret,” also known as “Hasa.” One of the reasons why this vegetable is preferred, as the Sefer Ha’hinuch writes, is because the word “Hasa” alludes to the fact that the Almighty had pity (“Has”) on our ancestors and miraculously rescued them from bondage. This Misva, quite obviously, applies only in the times of the Bet Ha’mikdash, when sacrifices were offered. It is binding only upon men, as women who could not offer Pesach Rishon are not obligated to offer Pesach Sheni, though they have the option of doing so. A woman who could not offer Pesach Rishon and decides to voluntarily offer Pesach Sheni is not required to eat the meat with Masa and Maror. A man who is required to bring Pesach Sheni and eats the meat without Masa and Marror has transgressed this affirmative command. In the next verse (9:12), the Torah introduces the command not to leave over the meat of Pesach Sheni until the next morning. The animal is sacrificed on the 14 th of Iyar and then eaten that night – just as Pesach Rishon is slaughtered on the 14 th of Nissan and eaten that night – and one may not leave any meat over until the morning. In this same verse, the Torah commands that one may not break any bones of the Pesach Sheni sacrifice – just as it is forbidden to break a bone of Pesach Rishon. Although there are several differences between Pesach Rishon and Pesach Sheni, these three Misvot mark points of similarity between these two sacrifices.
