Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Yevamos 48b
בְּעֶבֶד עָרֵל הַכָּתוּב מְדַבֵּר, אוֹ אֵינוֹ אֶלָּא בְּעֶבֶד מָהוּל? כְּשֶׁהוּא אוֹמֵר לְמַעַן יָנוּחַ עַבְדְּךָ וַאֲמָתְךָ כָּמוֹךָ — הֲרֵי עֶבֶד מָהוּל אָמוּר.

English: The verse speaks of an uncircumcised slave. Perhaps it means a circumcised slave? Since another verse says, “that your male and female slave may rest as you do,” the circumcised slave is already included there.

In context: See the cited source for the full section.
