Commentary for Shevuot 9:7

רבי אומר אינו צריך הרי הוא אומר ונעלם מכלל שידע והוא ידע הרי כאן שתי ידיעות א"כ מה ת"ל ונעלם לחייב על העלם טומאה ועל העלם מקדש:

Rabbi said: This deduction is not necessary. Scripture says: It was hidden from him, - therefore it must have been known to him at the beginning; then Scripture says: And he knows of it [i.e., at the end], hence, knowledge is essential both at the beginning and at the end.
