[א] "וקרע" – יכול יקרע בו קרע קטן יקיים בו מצות קריעה? ת"ל "אותו". אי "אותו", יכול ישצפנו ויניחנו במקומו? ת"ל "מן הבגד" – ינתקנו מן הבגד.
1) (Vayikra 13:56) ("And if the Cohein saw, and, behold, the plague-spot became dim after it was washed, then he shall tear it from the garment, or from the skin, or from the warp, or from the woof, (Vayikra 13:57). And if it be seen again in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any article of skin, it is porachath. In fire shall you burn it, what contains the plague-spot.") "then he shall tear": I might think that he tears it just a little to fulfill the mitzvah of tearing; it is, therefore, written "it." If "it," I might think that he might slash it and leave it in its place; it is, therefore, written "from the garment" — he must remove it from the garment.
