Commentary for Avodah Zarah 53:7
ואידך הכתיב לה' המול ההוא בפסח כתיב ואידך נמי הכתיב המול ימול דברה תורה כלשון בני אדם
But as to the other [R. Yose], is it not written “the Lord he shall circumcise? That refers to the Pesah sacrifice. as to the other [R. Judah] is it not written, “Circumcise, he shall circumcise”? The Torah speaks in human language.
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
Each tanna now must explain how he uses the verse that the other tanna uses. R. Yose says that the words “to the Lord” refer to the words above, “he shall make a pesah sacrifice to the Lord.”
R. Judah says we do not learn from repetitions of words because “the Torah speaks in human language.” Normal grammatical constructs, which this is, are not subject to midrash.
