Definition (Hebrew)

חַיָּב אָדָם לוֹמַר דְּבָרִים בְּשֵׁם אוֹמְרָם וְלֹא לְהַצִּיגָם כְּאִלּוּ הֵם שֶׁלּוֹ. צָרִיךְ לָתֵת אֶת הַכָּבוֹד לַדּוֹבֵר הַמְּקוֹרִי שֶׁל הַדְּבָרִים.

("הִלֵּל אוֹמֵר: מְלֹא הִין מַיִם שְׁאוּבִין פּוֹסְלִין הַמִּקְרֶה, אֶלָּא שֶׁאָדָם חַיָּב לוֹמַר בִּלְשׁוֹן רַבּוֹ. וְשַׁמַּאי אוֹמֵר: תִּשְׁעָה קַבִּין, וַחֲכָמִין אוֹמְרִים: לֹא כְּדִבְרֵי זֶה וְלֹא כְּדִבְרֵי זֶה" - עֵדוּיוֹת א ג)
