Sotah7: 4
חֲלִיצָה כֵּיצַד? «וְעָנְתָה וְאָמְרָה», וּלְהַלָּן הוּא אוֹמֵר: «וְעָנוּ הַלְוִיִּם וְאָמְרוּ». מָה עֲנִיָּה הָאֲמוּרָה לְהַלָּן בִּלְשׁוֹן הַקֹּדֶשׁ, אַף כָּאן בִּלְשׁוֹן הַקֹּדֶשׁ. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: «וְעָנְתָה וְאָמְרָה כָּכָה» — עַד שֶׁתֹּאמַר בַּלָּשׁוֹן הַזֶּה.
From where [is it derived that] chalitzah [must be in Hebrew]? [With respect to chalitzah it is stated:] And she shall speak up and say (Deut. 25:9), and over there it states: And the Leviim shall speak up and say (Deut. 2:14). Just as the speaking up over there means in the Holy Tongue, here too [it means] in the Holy Tongue. R’ Yehudah says: And she shall speak up and say, “So ...” —- [this] implies that she must say it in this [exact] language.
