Megilah 021: Is k'Chatzos the same as Ad Chatzos?
alex lebovits asked:
The Gem says that he R' Elazar ben Azaryah learns out from Makas Bechoros that
just like that was *Ad Chatzos* so too we can eat the korbon Pesach *ad
Chatzos*.
*Ad Chatzos* is not the same as *Kechatzos*; so why doesn't he require one to
eat Matzo/Korban Pesach at midnight as the Posuk really says?!

The Kollel replies:
The Madanei Yom Tov in Berachos (9a, note Alef) seems to be bothered by your
question. He explains that the Mitzvah cannot possibly be to eat the Pesach
exactly at Chatzos, as they wouldn't know the exact instant and it takes longer
than an instant to eat. It can't be after Chatzos, as the point of the Pesach
was to protect them from Makas Bechoros. Therefore, being that the Pasuk writes
the same terminology by both, it clearly wants us to learn that we should eat
the Pesach before Chatzos as did Bnei Yisrael.
All the best,
Yaakov Montrose
