he receives two sets of lashes, for violating the prohibitions: “You should not eat it partially roasted” (Exodus 12:9) and: “You should only eat it…roasted with fire” (Exodus 12:9). One who ate it boiled receives two sets of lashes, for the prohibitions: “Nor should it be boiled in any way in water” (Exodus 12:9), and “You should only eat it…roasted with fire.” One who ate the Paschal lamb after it had been partially roasted and then boiled receives 3 sets of lashes, for eating the Paschal lamb partially roasted, for eating it boiled, and for failing to eat it roasted.
אביי אמר: אין לוקין על לאו שבכללות.
Abaye said: One does not receive lashes for a prohibition stated in general terms. The prohibition inferred from the verse "You should only eat it...roasted in fire" includes many types of cooking, and one is not punished with lashes for violating this mitzva, as it is a general prohibition that includes meat cooked in several different ways.
איכא דאמרי: תרתי הוא דלא לקי, חדא מיהת לקי.
Some say that Abaye said: It is two sets of lashes that he does not receive, as the mitzva that the Paschal lamb be roasted with fire does not add to the specific prohibitions against eating it partially roasted or cooked. However, at any rate one set of lashes he does receive. Therefore, one who prepared a Paschal lamb without properly cooking it but without roasting it is punished with lashes for failing to roast it “with fire.”
Some say that one does not receive even one set of lashes for violating this prohibition, as the prohibition he transgressed is not specific to one matter, like the prohibition against muzzling. The principle that one is liable to receive lashes for violating a prohibition is derived from the juxtaposition of the mitzva: “You should not muzzle an ox while it treads out the corn” (Deuteronomy 25:4) with the verses that deal with lashes. It is inferred from this juxtaposition that one is not liable to receive lashes for violating prohibitions that are dissimilar to that of muzzling, e.g., a prohibition that is not specific to one matter.
