(1) Not to break a bone from the Pesach sacrifice: Not to break any from all of the bones of the Pesach sacrifice, as it is stated (Exodus 12:46), "and a bone of it, you shall not break."

And now, my son, "If you have understanding" (Job 34:16), "incline your ear and hear" (Proverbs 22:17), and I will teach you to benefit from Torah and the commandments. You must know, that a man is acted upon according to his actions; and his heart and all his thoughts always follow after the actions that he does - whether good or bad. And even he who in his heart is a complete sinner and all the desires of his heart are for only evil, if his spirit shall be enlightened and he will put his efforts and actions to persist in Torah and commandments, even if not for the sake of Heaven, he shall immediately incline towards the good. And from that which is not for its own sake comes that which is for its own sake [as opposed to personal gain], for the hearts are drawn after the actions. And even if a man is perfectly righteous and his heart is straight and innocent, desiring of Torah and the commandments, if he shall constantly deal with improper things, you could compare it to someone who was forced by the king to work a wicked craft; if he constantly works in that wicked craft, eventually from his righteousness he shall have become completely evil, for it is known and true that every man is acted upon according to his actions, as we have said. And the Sages, may their memory be blessed, said about this (Makkot 23b), "God wanted to grant merits to Israel, therefore he gave them many laws and commandments," to occupy all of our thoughts and all our deeds, to benefit us at our end [i.e. in the world to come]. Because from the good actions we are acted upon to be good and we merit eternal life.
