8 Hence if he did not nullify [it] before six [hours]; and he found chametz from six hours and onward that he had his mind upon and he forgot it at the time of the destruction and did not destroy it - this one has surely transgressed, "it shall not be seen," and "it shall not be found." For he surely did not destroy [it], nor did he nullify [it]. And nullification now does not help him at all, since [the chametz ] is not in his possession. Yet Scripture made it as if it was in his possession, to make him liable for "it shall not be seen," and "it shall not be found." So he is obligated to destroy at any time that he finds it. However if he found in on the holiday, he covers it with a vessel until the evening and destroys it [then]. And if it is of consecrated [foods], he does not need to cover it with a vessel, since all separate from it [regardless].
