Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Mechilta (via Torah Temimah)
מַה תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר ״עַד בֹּקֶר״? בָּא הַכָּתוּב לִיתֵּן תְּחוּם לְבָקְרוֹ שֶׁל בֹּקֶר.

English: Why does it say “until morning”? Scripture comes to set a boundary for the “morning of morning” [i.e., the start of true morning at sunrise].

Type of Learning

Boundary derash of the doubled “morning.”

What Is Learned

The doubled wording marks the beginning of morning at sunrise, not a later hour of the day.
