Quoting%20commentary for Bava Kamma 125:8

אמרי בכל כללא כל ריבויא הוא ואיבעית אימא כל כללא הוא מיהו כל דהכא ריבויא הוא

[Does this mean to say that] whenever the Divine Law uses [the word] 'all' it is an amplification? What about tithes, where 'all' occurs and we nevertheless expounded it as a case of generalisation and specification? For it was taught: <i>And thou shalt bestow that money for all that thy soul lusteth after</i><span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deut. XIV, 26. ');">¹⁵</span> is a generalisation; <i>for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink</i> is a specification; <i>or for all that thy soul desireth</i> is again a generalisation. Now, where a generalisation precedes a specification which is in its turn followed by another generalisation, you include only that which is similar to the specification. As then the specification [here] mentions produce obtained from produce<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Such as wine from grapes. ');">¹⁶</span>
