("A parable to a king who had a lover, and a brother-in-law was between him and the king in difficult matters, and the king did not pay attention to him, for days he stood and the brother-in-law before the legions, and sentenced him to death. Yet thus said the Holy One, Blessed be He, to Moses, What have you done between me and you (I did not pay attention), now as against the rabbis, is it possible, that it was said to sanctify me "In the eyes of the children of Israel" - Midrash Tanhuma (Buber) interprets the law of Simeon as follows: "A farmer's heart is not firm, because he is afraid of the mountains of fear, and he asks for work for himself" - Agnon/ Tamol Shilshom, 36, and so on: "He asks her to return to his house, because his heart is weak, but he is afraid of his wife, because she is not firm. He sat down on his bed and lamented that it had become so difficult for him" - H. Hazaz/ Shlulit Genuza, 126)
