Commentary for Megillah 13:1

השנית ואיצטריך למיכתב בכל שנה ושנה דאי מבכל שנה ושנה הוה אמינא כי קושין קא משמע לן השנית ואי אשמועינן השנית הוה אמינא בתחילה בראשון ובשני קמ"ל בכל שנה ושנה

'the second' and it is necessary to write: 'in each and every year'. For if it was from 'each and every year' [only], I might have said this is a difficulty. Thus this informs us that 'the second' [is necessary]. And if it informed us of 'the second' [only], I might have said from the beginning 'the first and the second'. Thus we are informed by: 'in each and every year.'
