אוּמָן. אָדָם שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ מִקְצוֹעַ הַכָּרוּךְ בִּתְבוּנַת כַּפַּיִם. מִי שֶׁעוֹסֵק בִּמְלָאכָה מְסֻיֶּמֶת.

("מָשָׁל לְמֶלֶךְ שֶׁעָשָׂה סְעוּדָה גְּדוֹלָה,וְאָמַר לָאַפִּיטְרוֹפִּין שֶׁלּוֹ זָמִין לִי בְּנֵי אָדָם תַּגָּרִים, וְאַל תַּזְמִין לִי בַּעֲלֵי מְלָאכָה, אָמַר לוֹ אֲדוֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ סְעֻדָּתְךָ גְּדוֹלָה הִיא, וְהַתַּגָּרִין לֹא יַסְפִּיקוּ לְאוֹכְלָהּ, אֶלָּא עִם בַּעֲלֵי מְלָאכָה"- מִדְרַשׁ תְּהִלִּים (בּוּבֶּר) מִזְמוֹר כֹּה, וְכֵן:"הֲלֹא אַף אַתָּה כְּפִי שֶׁאֲנִי רוֹאֶה בַּעַל מְלָאכָה אַתָּה כְּמוֹתִי וְכַמּוּת הַנַּגָּר"- עַגְנוֹן/ עַד הֵנָּה, 103)
