You said it, you are the one who said it

You said it, you are the one who said it

You are the one who phrases things this way. Figuratively: You are right, but I prefer not to say these things explicitly—you are the one who said them. The responsibility for stating it outright is yours.

(He began and said: 'The angels and the distressed seized the Holy Ark, the angels defeated the distressed and the Ark was captured!' They said to him: 'Has her soul found rest?' He replied: 'You said it, not I.' - Ketubot 104a)

אַתָּה אָמַרְתָּ, זֶה אַתָּה אָמַרְתָּ

Definition (Hebrew)

אַתָּה הוּא זֶה שֶׁמְּנַסֵּחַ כָּךְ אֶת הַדְּבָרִים. בְּהַשְׁאָלָה: אַתָּה צוֹדֵק, אַךְ אֲנִי מַעֲדִיף שֶׁלֹּא לְהַגִּיד אֶת הַדְּבָרִים בִּמְפֹרָשׁ- אַתָּה הוּא זֶה שֶׁאָמַרְתָּ אוֹתָם. הָאַחְרָיוּת לַאֲמִירַת הַדָּבָר בִּמְפֹרָשׁ הִיא עָלֶיךָ.

(פָּתַח וְאָמַר: אֶרְאֶלִּים וּמְצוּקִים אָחֲזוּ בָּאָרוֹן הַקֹּדֶשׁ, נִצְּחוּ אֶרְאֶלִּים אֶת הַמְּצוּקִים וְנִשְׁבָּה אָרוֹן הַקֹּדֶשׁ! אָמְרוּ לֵהּ: נֹחַ נְפָשֶׁיהָ? אָמַר לְהוֹ: אָתוֹן קאמריתו וְאָנָּא לֹא קָמִינָא (תַּרְגּוּם: אָמְרוּ לוֹ: נָחָה נַפְשׁוֹ? אָמַר לָהֶם: אַתֶּם אֲמַרְתֶּם, אֲנִי לֹא אָמַרְתִּי)"- כְּתֻבּוֹת קַד ע"א)
