Reference for Shevuot 8:8
ורבנן דרשי כללי ופרטי ופדויו מבן חדש כלל בערכך כסף חמשת שקלים פרט תפדה חזר וכלל
by all things except bonds; but the Rabbis<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Representing the opinion of teachers in general. And those that are to be redeemed is a general statement, implying that they may be redeemed with all things; this is followed by a particular statement five shekels of silver, limiting redemption to that alone; then follows another general statement shalt thou redeem - apparently with all things. According to Rabbi, the particular (five shekels) implies that the first generalisation is to be taken as including all things which are similar to the particular, and the final generalisation adds even things which are not entirely similar to the particular, excluding only that which is most dissimilar. According to the Rabbis, the particular limits the first generalisation to that particular alone, excluding even similar things, but the final generalisation adds all similar things, excluding all things which are dissimilar. Though in this verse both generalisations precede the particular (and those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thy valuation, for five shekels of silver) , the procedure is, in such a case, to assume that the particular is between the two yughnu huchr generalisations. Rabbi's method of exposition is called 'amplification and limitation' (Ribbu u-Mi'ut) ; the other is called yrpu kkf 'generalisation and specification' (Kelal u-ferat) . The former is more inclusive than the latter.');"><sup>6</sup></span>
