Reference for Sotah 65:3
לימא קסברי רבנן כל התורה כולה בלשון קודש נאמרה דאי סלקא דעתך בכל לשון שמע דכתב רחמנא למה לי
It is likewise possible to say that the Rabbis hold that the whole Torah must be read in the holy tongue; for if you maintain that it can be read in any language, wherefore had the All-Merciful to write the word 'Hear'? — It is necessary because it is written 'And [these words] shall be'.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which might otherwise be taken to indicate that the Shema' must be read in Hebrew.
