וקשרתם. אלו בקשירה, ואין "ויאמר" בקשירה. שהיה בדין: ומה אם "קדש לי", "והיה כי יביאך", שאינו בשנון, הרי הם בקשירה - "ויאמר", שהוא בשנון, אינו דין שיהא בקשירה? - ת"ל "וקשרתם": אלו בקשירה ואין ויאמר בקשירה.
(Devarim 6:8) "And you shall bind them (as a sign upon your hand"): These (Shema, Vehaya im shamoa, Kadesh li and Vehaya ki yeviacha) are (included) in (the mitzvah of) "binding," but Vayomer (i.e., the mitzvah of tzitzith) is not included in "binding." For it would follow a fortiori (that it is included in "binding"), viz.: If Kadesh li and Vehaya ki yeviacha, which are not included in "repetition," are included in "binding," then Vayomer, which is included in "repetition," how much more so should it be included in "binding"! It is, therefore, written "And you shall bind them" — These are included in "binding," but Vayomer is not included in "binding."
