Since when may one recite the Shema in the evening? Since the time when the kohanim (priests) enter to eat their terumah (agricultural gifts). [It may be recited at any time since then] until the end of the first watch [of the night]; this is the view of Rabbi Eliezer. The Sages say: [The Shema may be recited] until midnight. Rabban Gamliel says: [It may be recited] until dawn breaks (lit. the column of dawn rises). "If so, why did the Sages say [that these precepts can be performed only] until midnight? To keep a person away from sinning."

abstract	Since when may one recite the Shema in the evening? Since the time when the kohanim (priests) enter to eat their terumah (agricultural gifts). [It may be recited at any time since then] until the end of the first watch [of the night]; this is the view of Rabbi Eliezer. The Sages say: [The Shema may be recited] until midnight. Rabban Gamliel says: [It may be recited] until dawn breaks (lit. the column of dawn rises). It once happened that [Rabban Gamliel’s] sons came [home late at night] from a place of feasting. They said to [their father]: “We have not recited the Shema." He said to them: “If dawn has not broken, you are obligated to recite it. "[This is true] not only in this case; rather, in all cases where the Sages said that [some precept can be performed only] until midnight — the precept is [still in force] until the break of dawn. [For example:] Burning the fats and organs [of the sacrifices, on the Temple altar] — this precept [can be performed] until the break of dawn. [Another example:] All [sacrifices] which may be eaten for one day — the precept [of eating them can be performed] until the break of dawn. "If so, why did the Sages say [that these precepts can be performed only] until midnight? To keep a person away from sinning."
