Greater than him in wisdom and in number

Greater than him in wisdom and in number

A person who is wiser and also older than him.

(A court cannot annul the words of its fellow judge until there is someone greater than him in wisdom and in number. There was someone greater than him in wisdom but not in number, or in number but not in wisdom, he cannot annul his words until there is someone greater than him in wisdom and in number - Testimonies 1:5, and likewise: "I will reveal to you in a whisper a great secret that even the words of the greatest and best scribes greater than him in wisdom and in number are filled with contradictions on all their edges" - Berdyczewski, Writings, 2, 104)
