And the custom of the language is that a noun indicating generality and the noun that comes next to it will come in singular, while the verb will come in plural.כי מכרו מצרים איש שדהו (For the Egyptians sold every man his field)³⁸². לקטו ממנו איש לפי אכלו (Gather you of it every man according to his eating)³⁸³, etc. And this is the sign that the noun indicates generality. And whenever the noun indicating generality is איש (man), it will not exclude a woman. But nevertheless, whenever the Scripture uses this language, the matter must apply to everyone together and also apply to everyone individually.
