("And a son of a sorcerer and a teacher, whose father and mother wanted to forgive him a sin. And an old man from Mera, whose house of law wanted to forgive him a sin. And when I returned to my friends in the south, they thanked him for two things, but they did not thank him for the old man from Mera, so that there would be no divisions in Israel" - Midrash Tanai'im Lidbarim, chapter 17, and so on: "A teacher on a writer The scribes... and on the side of the law, and said that in this place, where the old man of the mirror and the two players of the Ishkoki are now sitting..." - Life in the Light/ Feathers, 116)
