English: A teaching of the school of Rabbi Yishmael: A person should always speak in clean language, for regarding a zav they said “riding” and regarding a woman “sitting”… And as for the verse “and they rode on the camels,” there it is because of the height of the camels that it is the natural way [for a woman to ride].
On the daf / in context: The preference for refined speech is illustrated by the different terms used for the same conveyance; the exception of camel-riding is explained by practical necessity.
Type of Learning
Custom (Bavli — clean language; exception for camels)
What Is Learned
One should prefer clean speech; the Torah itself models this by varying terminology. Camel-riding by women is an exception justified by the animal’s height.
