And many times, the sages of blessed memory interpret that a repeated noun is not the first noun literally.

As when they interpret והקריבו את הדם, וזרקו את הדם (And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood, and dash the blood)²⁷⁹ – even if it is spilled from the vessel onto the floor. Perhaps even if it is spilled from the neck of an animal onto the floor? The word הדם teaches otherwise. It means to say that since it does not say וזרקוהו with a pronoun, it is implied that it is another noun, that it is not the blood that was dashed, which is the blood in the vessel. However, the custom of the language is such that the new noun that was not mentioned should come without a definite article ה (and as I explained it, the ה indicates the noun that was already mentioned and known) and hence it is proven that from one perspective, it is blood that was mentioned – that it was received in a vessel, and from another perspective it is different blood, since it was spilled from the vessel.
