[א] "ואל בני ישראל תאמר", "ואל בני ישראל תדבר", "אמור אל בני ישראל", "דבר אל בני ישראל", "צו את בני ישראל", "ואתה תצוה אל בני ישראל" – ר' יוסי אומר דברה תורה כלשון בני אדם בלשונות הרבה וכולם צריכים להדרש. "גר" – אלו הגרים. "הַגָר" – לרבות נשי הגרים. "בישראל" – לרבות נשים ועבדים.

1) (Vayikra 20:2) ("And to the children of Israel you shall say: A man, a man, of the children of Israel, and of the stranger who sojourns in Israel, who gives of his seed to the Molech, he shall die; the people of the land shall stone him with a stone.") "And to the children of Israel you shall say": "And to the children of Israel you shall speak," "Say to the children of Israel," "Speak to the children of Israel," "Command the children of Israel," "And you command the children of Israel": R. Yossi says: The Torah spoke in the language of man, in many forms, and all require expounding: "Israel" — as stated; "stranger" — these are the proselytes; "who sojourns" — to include the wives of the proselytes. "in Israel" — to include women and servants.
