Commentary for Zevachim 79:2

מתן ארבע מנין ת"ל כן יעשה מ"ש מתן ז' דכתיבן וכפילן מתן ד' נמי כתיבן וכפילן

'How do we know [it] of the four applications? Because it is written, so shall he do'. Why do the seven applications differ? [presumably] because they are prescribed and reiterated? Then the four applications too are prescribed and reiterated? - Said R. Jeremiah: This is necessary only according to R. Simeon. For it was taught: In the upper section 'horns' is written, [where] horn [would suffice] [which implies] two, and in the lower section 'horns' is written [instead of] horn, which implies four: this is R. Simeon's view. R. Judah said: It is unnecessary, [for] surely it says, [which] is in the tent of meeting, [intimating,] upon all which is mentioned in the tent of meeting. <br>
