Gittin 60a: "le'man de'amar torah megillah megillah nitnah"

Rashi (DH megillah megillah nitnah): "ke'she'nemra parshah le'mosheh
hayah kosvah u'le'be'sof mem shanah ke'she'nigmeru kol ha'parshiyos
hibrun be'giddin ve'tafran"

be'aznei ha'am ... ve'nirah le'fareish de'lo ka'amar hasumah nitnah
shelo nichtivah ad le'be'sof ela she'al ha'seder nichtivah ...
