At what time of day is the afternoon Tamid sacrifice offered? And what time is the Passover sacrifice offered? When erev Pesach falls on Shabbat, they would prepare earlier in order to roast the meat before Shabbat. What is the source for the time of the Tamid sacrifice? Rabbi Yehoshua Ben Levi and Rabbi bring different answers. The Gemara quotes a verse in which there is a dispute between Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Yishmael regarding the hours of Passover sacrifice on weekdays and Shabbat. Abaye, Rava and Rabba Bar Ulla bring different interpretations regarding the opinions of Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Yishmael and different understandings regarding the basis of the dispute between them.
