It is enough for him; enough for him with…

It is sufficient for him; he has no need for more than…

(“Every day a heavenly voice goes forth from Mount Horeb and says: ‘The whole world is sustained for the sake of My son Ḥanina, and Ḥanina My son—sufficient for him is a measure of carobs from one Sabbath eve to the next.’” — Berakhot 17b; and likewise: “The Holy One, blessed be He, warned that a person should not rob them of the gifts that are fitting to be given to them, for he is poor—his poverty is enough for him; is it not enough for the rich that he lives in comfort while the poor is in distress, but he even robs him of what the Holy One has given him?” — Bamidbar Rabbah (Vilna), Parashat Bemidbar 5; and likewise: “The whole world was created only for the sake of My son Ḥanina… and Ḥanina—not even a fig, not even a pomegranate, not even a single love—as if indeed a measure of carobs from Sabbath to Sabbath is enough for him.” — Natan Yonatan, Ḥanina My Son)
