Hebrew · Sifrei Devarim (Hebrew)ודברו שוטרים. יכול דברים (אחרים) [של עצמם]? כשהוא אומר ויספו שוטרים לדבר אל העם, מלמד שהם הדברים [של עצמם]. ומה תלמוד לומר ודברו השוטרים? כיון שהתחיל (שוטר) [כהן] לדבר, (כהן) [שוטר] משמיע להם כתנאים האלו.
English · Shraga SilversteinThus far the Cohein anointed for war speaks; from this point on, the officers. I might think (that they speak) their own words, but (8) "Then the officer shall speak further" already speaks of their own words. How, then, are we to understand "Then the officers shall speak"? As referring to the words of the Cohein appointed for war. How so? The Cohein spoke and an officer relayed what he said.
