Rashi, on Ezek 16:44

“Behold every one that useth a common proverb, shall use this against thee, saying: As the mother was, so also is her daughter.”

“whoever uses proverbs Heb. הַמֹשֵּׁל. This is an expression of a proverb and a riddle “Like mother, like daughter” Heb. כְּאִמָה בִּתָּה. The ‘hey’ of כְּאִמָה is not a ‘mappiq [aspirate] hey,’ [to read her mother; i.e. it is not the third person possessive] because it does not serve for any noun but it means, as the mother, so is her daughter.”

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
