לֵאמֹר — אָמַר רַבִּי (מוּסְיָא בַּר בְּרֵיהּ דְּרַבִּי מַסְיָא מִשְּׁמֵיהּ דְּרַבִּי מוּסְיָא) רַבָּה:
מִנַּיִין לְאוֹמֵר דָּבָר לַחֲבֵרוֹ שֶׁהוּא בְּבַל יֹאמַר עַד שֶׁיֹּאמַר לוֹ לֵךְ אֱמֹר?
שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: וַיְדַבֵּר ה' אֵלָיו מֵאֹהֶל מוֹעֵד לֵאמֹר.

English: “Saying” (leimor) — Rabbi Musya son of the son of Rabbi Masya said in the name of Rabbi Musya the Great: From where do we know that one who says something to his fellow is under a prohibition not to say it further until [the original speaker] says to him, “Go, say [it]”? As it is stated: “And Hashem spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying.”

Type of Learning

Custom (restrictive reading of leimor, classically associated with “do not say”) — private speech may not be repeated without explicit authorization. Related in spirit to notariqon-style readings (cf. R’ Eliezer’s list) but not formally numbered here.

What Is Learned

Private speech is not to be repeated unless the original speaker explicitly authorizes it. (The restriction does not apply when the matter was said for the listener’s own benefit.)
