Ramban on Exodus 13:6/רמב"ן על שמות י״ג:ו׳

אוְטַעַם וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי חַג לַה' שֶׁיָּבִיאוּ חַגֵּיהֶם בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי, וְלֹא יְאַחֲרוּ עוֹד, שֶׁאֵין לוֹ תַּשְׁלוּמִין אַחַר כָּךְ. אֲבָל הָרִאשׁוֹן יֵשׁ לוֹ תַּשְׁלוּמִין כָּל שִׁבְעָה לְעִנְיַן הֶחָג (חגיגה ט.). וּשְׁנֵיהֶם שָׁוִים לְעִנְיַן מִקְרָא קֹדֶשׁ, כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָמְרוּ לְמַעְלָה (יב טז) "וּבַיּוֹם הָרִאשׁוֹן מִקְרָא קֹדֶשׁ וְגוֹ' וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי מִקְרָא קֹדֶשׁ" וְגוֹ':

1AND IN THE SEVENTH DAY SHALL BE A FEAST TO THE ETERNAL. This means that they are to bring their Festival-offering on the seventh day [of Passover] and are not to delay it any longer, for after that, one can no longer make amends for it. However, as far as the Festival-offering³⁸³, which is the eighth day of Succoth. The Festival of Shevuoth, though only one day, has a similar seven-day extension period (Chagigah 9 a). is concerned, amends can be made for the first day of the festival all seven days. Both [the first and seventh] days of Passover are alike with respect to the law of a holy convocation, as He said above, And in the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation.³⁸⁴
