Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Gezeirah shavah (via Torah Temimah)

הַפֶּסַח אָסוּר לְאוֹנֵן. מַאי טַעְמָא? נֶאֱמַר ״מִמֶּנּוּ״ בְּמַעֲשֵׂר — ״לֹא אָכַלְתִּי בְאֹנִי מִמֶּנּוּ״, וְנֶאֱמַר ״מִמֶּנּוּ״ בַּפֶּסַח; מַה מַעֲשֵׂר אוֹנֵן אָסוּר בּוֹ, אַף פֶּסַח אוֹנֵן אָסוּר בּוֹ.

English: The Pesach is forbidden to an onen. Why? It says “from it” regarding maaser — “I have not eaten of it in my mourning” — and it says “from it” regarding the Pesach; just as an onen is forbidden maaser, so an onen is forbidden the Pesach.
