(דברים יג יג) **כִּי תִשְׁמַע** – וְלֹא הַחוֹזֵר וְהַמְּצַתֵּת.

###### Sifrei Devarim 92:2
[Sifrei Devarim 92:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/92:2)

יָכוֹל יְהֵא רָטוּשׁ? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: ״וְדָרַשְׁתָּ וְחָקַרְתָּ וְשָׁאַלְתָּ הֵיטֵב״, ״וְדָרַשְׁתָּ״ – מִן הַתּוֹרָה, ״וְחָקַרְתָּ״ – מִן הָעֵדִים, ״וְשָׁאַלְתָּ״ – מִן הַתַּלְמִידִים.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
I might think, then, that one need not pursue it, (even if he *did* hear); it is, therefore, written (15) "And you shall inquire, and you shall search out, and you shall ask well."


###### Sifrei Devarim 92:3
[Sifrei Devarim 92:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/92:3)

**בְּאַחַת עָרֶיךָ**, עִיר אַחַת עוֹשִׂים עִיר הַנִּדַּחַת, וְאֵין עוֹשִׂים שָׁלֹשׁ עֲיָרוֹת נִדָּחוֹת. יָכוֹל אַף לֹא שְׁתַּיִם? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **בְּאַחַת עָרֶיךָ**.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"in *one* of your cities": *one* city is made "a condemned city," and not three. I might think, not even two; it is, therefore, written "your cities."
