Commentary for Megillah 46:7
מאי משמע דתני ר' חייא אתיא תוך תוך כתיב הכא ונקדשתי בתוך בני ישראל וכתיב התם (במדבר טז, כא) הבדלו מתוך העדה
How does the verse say this? As R. Hiyya taught: The word "among" is understood in reference to its use in another place. It is written here, "But I will be sanctified among the children of Israel" and it is written elsewhere, "Separate yourselves from among this congregation" (Numbers 16:21);
Tosafot on Megillah
This was only taught regarding a place where they do not translate - We rely upon this [for our practice] of not translating the haftarot all year, and so too [of not translating] the parashiot.
