Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Yoma 32a
תני, מניין שכל טבילה וטבילה צריכה שני קידושין? ת"ל ופשט ורחץ ורחץ ולבש.

English: From where do we know that every immersion requires two sanctifications (of hands and feet)? From the wording “and he shall remove… and wash… and wash… and put on.”

Type of Learning

Ribui from doubled language — the doubled “and wash” teaches two kiddushin per tevilah.

What Is Learned

Each of the five immersions of the Kohen Gadol on Yom Kippur is accompanied by two sanctifications of the hands and feet — one before the immersion and one after.
