("Bar Batani - intestines caused you to become a person of great honour and strength, that I pressed and entered, to be a beautiful spouse for birth, for our heart and to hasten it, as it is said in Tractate Niddah (50a): The last three months are a good time for birth, from which the child comes out white and quick" - Rashi Sanhedrin 56b, and also: "Lehaz - a term of importance like they called 'chamudot'. Wherever it says 'Lehaz' - it means a person of great honour. From here they learned in the Aggadah that Isaac resembled his father in image and form and was called 'this man'... And Joseph was handsome; this is the beauty counted in the Five Books that the father merits his son" - Rashi Daniel 8:16, and also: "Even if she was ugly, charm is false and beauty is vanity, but the commandment of the Lord created her, she will help us bear children of great honour" - Peles Yoetz / Section 7 - Matchmaking, and also: "Some of the people of great honour among us... they were proud in their hearts and boasted in the city... how everyone enjoys the radiance of their faces and delights in the sweetness of their lips" - Mendel Mois / Travels of Benjamin 3:58, and also: "In the house of a certain tailor a guest resides, a Jewish man of great honour, go to him, perhaps you will find there the man you seek" - Mordechai ben Yechezkel / Book of Tales Part Four, Six Hundred Red Gold, 82, and also: "But people of great honour, before they love peace, must love truth" - H. Bar / To Where the Wind Goes, 101)
