6. “How far does he repeat?” The school of Shammai say, till “a joyful mother of children.”[186] But the school of Hillel say, till “the flint into a fountain of waters,”[187] and he finished with a “blessing for redemption.” Rabbi Tarphon said, “ ‘Who redeemed us and redeemed our fathers from Egypt,’ and he does not end with any other blessing.” Rabbi Akiba adds, “So the Lord our God and the God of our fathers shall bring us to holidays and other feast-days yet to come to us in peace, rejoicing in the building of THY city, and delighting in THY service; and we shall eat there the sacrifices [pg 107] and the passovers, etc., until ‘Blessed be Thou, Lord, the Redeemer of Israel.’ ”
7. When the attendants mixed for him the third cup[188] he says the blessing for his food, with the fourth cup he finished the hallel, and said over it the blessing of the Song.[189] Between the first and second cups if he wish to drink, he may drink as much as he likes. Between the third and fourth he must not drink.
8. Persons are not free after the passover to ask for more food. “If some fall asleep during the passover?”[190] “They may afterward eat of it.” “All?” “They must not eat of it.” Rabbi José says, “If they dozed?” “They may eat of it.” “If they slept?” “They must not eat of it.”
9. The passover after midnight renders hands legally unclean. False intention and the remains of the feast render hands legally unclean.[191] “When one repeated the passover-blessing?” “He is free from the sacrifice-blessing, but the sacrifice-blessing does not free him from that of the passover.” The words of R. Ishmael. Rabbi Akiba said, “this does not free from that, nor that from this.”
