("Motenitin: These are the laws said at the ascension of Hananiah son of Hezekiah son of Garon when they went to visit him, etc. That day was hard for Israel like the day the golden calf was made. Rabbi Leizer says about it: 'On that day they overfilled the se'ah' - Jerusalem Talmud Shabbat 1, 4. Also: 'The intelligence... as when it overfilled the se'ah, until it began to dig a tunnel under the flag of the nation and its existence, and many of the Jews began to dig a tunnel under the flag of the nation, and many of the Jews began to transfer their seed to Moloch' - Berdyczewski/Writings, 2, 84. Also: 'The prophet Halah from the beginning, for so the matter will be. Except that he slightly overfilled the se'ah' - Shalom Aleichem/In the Prison, 273. Also: 'The se'ah was overfilled... every wrath of his gaze and evil of his eyes in a single point' - Bialik/Arieh Baal Guf, 7, Led.)
