Core Text — Beitzah 19a
בֵּית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים: מְבִיאִין שְׁלָמִים וְעוֹלוֹת וְסוֹמְכִין עֲלֵיהֶן. … וּבֵית הִלֵּל סָבְרִי: ״לַה׳״ — כֹּל דְּלַה׳.

English: Beis Hillel say: One may bring shelamim and olos and lean on them. … And Beis Hillel hold: “to Hashem” — whatever is for Hashem.

Type of Learning

Inclusive reading of לַה׳: all offerings designated for Hashem may be brought on Yom Tov.

What Is Learned

Beis Hillel permit bringing both shelamim and olos on Yom Tov because the verse says “a festival to Hashem” — anything for Hashem.
