Sefer HaChinukh 15
שֶׁלֹּא לְהוֹצִיא מִבְּשַׂר הַפֶּסַח חוּצָה – לֹא לְהוֹצִיא מִבְּשַׂר הַפֶּסַח מִמְּקוֹם הַחֲבוּרָה, (פסחים פה, ב) שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (שמות יב מו) לֹא תוֹצִיא מִן הַבַּיִת מִן הַבָּשָׂר חוּצָה.
Not to take out from the meat of the Pesach-offering outside: Not to take from the meat of the Pesach-offering out of the place of the assemblage (Pesachim 85b), as it is stated (Exodus 12:46), “you shall not take any of the meat outside the house.”
מִשָּׁרְשֵׁי מִצְוָה זוֹ. מָה שֶׁכָּתַבְנוּ לְזֵכֶר נִסֵּי מִצְרַיִם. וּמִפְּנֵי שֶׁנַּעֲשֵׂנוּ בְּנֵי חֹרִין וַאֲדוֹנִים בָּאָה הַמִּצְוָה עָלָיו שֶׁיְּהֵא נֶאֱכָל בִּמְקוֹם הַחֲבוּרָה וְלֹא נוֹצִיאֵהוּ לַחוּץ, כְּדֶרֶךְ מַלְכֵי אֶרֶץ, שֶׁכָּל הַמּוּכָן לָהֶם נֶאֱכָל בְּהֵיכָלָם בְּרֹב עַם שֶׁלָּהֶם. וְדַלַּת הָאָרֶץ בְּעֵת יָכִינוּ סְעֻדָּה גְּדוֹלָה, יִשְׁלְחוּ מִמֶּנָּה לַחוּץ מָנוֹת לְרֵעֵיהֶם, לְפִי שֶׁהוּא חִדּוּשׁ אֶצְלָם.
From the roots of this commandment is that which we have written — to remember the miracles of Egypt. And since we were made into free men and lords, this commandment came to us that we should eat [it] in the place of the assemblage and not take it outside — like the kings of the land. As everything that is prepared for them is eaten in their chambers with their large retinues. But when the poor of the land prepare a large meal, they send portions to their friends outside, since it is a novelty for them (to have a lavish meal).
דִּינֵי הַמִּצְוָה, כְּגוֹן זֶה, מַה דִּינוֹ שֶׁל בָּשָׂר כְּשֶׁיּוֹצֵא חוּץ, (פסחים שם, א) וְהַהֶקֵּף שֶׁצְּרִיכָה הַחֲבוּרָה לַעֲשׂוֹת, (רמב"ם ק"פ ט, ג) וְדִין מְחִצָּה שֶׁנִּפְרְצָה בֵּין הַחֲבוּרוֹת, (פסחים ס, ב) וְיֶתֶר פְּרָטֶיהָ מְבֹאָרִים בִּפְסָחִים (שם).
The laws of the commandment — for example, what is the law of [the] meat when he takes [it] out (Pesachim 85a); the border that they must make (Mishneh Torah, Laws of Paschal Offering 9:3); the law of a partition between two assemblages that is breached (Pesachim 60b); and the rest of its details — are [all] elucidated in Pesachim.
וְנוֹהֶגֶת בִּזְמַן הַבַּיִת בִּזְכָרִים וּנְקֵבוֹת. וְעוֹבֵר עָלֶיהָ וְהוֹצִיא מִן הַבָּשָׂר לַחוּץ, עָבַר עַל לָאו וְלוֹקִין עָלָיו, וְהוּא שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה בָּהּ עֲקִירָה מִן הַבַּיִת וְהַנָּחָה לַחוּץ, כַּדִּין הַיָּדוּעַ בְּהוֹצָאָה שֶׁל שַׁבָּת (פסחים שם)
And [it] is practiced at the time of the [Temple] by males and females. And one who transgresses it and takes of the meat outside violates a negative commandment. And we administer lashes for it — and that is when he dislodges [it] from the house and places [it] outside, like the well-known law about [carrying on] Shabbat (Pesachim 60b).
