("In whom will you rejoice? In whom will you enlarge your mouth? In whom will you lengthen your tongue? Are you children of transgression, a seed of lies?" - Isaiah 44, and so on: "And we found that the bronze laver which Moses had made was strong, and the women of the great assembly added a third of a shekel to the half shekel which the Lord had commanded Moses, and it was too much to stretch. In words, there is a limit from the Torah, and from the Talmud, that the wise men of the generations and those who know the Name will be able to re-establish according to what seems right to them, according to which the great Rabbi and his companions established the rejections, and the Rabbi transmitted the secret of the embryo, as he received from the house of my father Abba in Kabbalah from the people of the Synod of the Great Talmud, the disciples of Haggai Zechariah. And my angels. And the word of the Lord is the Sabbath, and the rod is the rod of the sword" - Shekel Tov (Buber) at the beginning of chapter 17, and so: "A man will always sleep to learn his lesson in a short way. This is the one who learns a lot so that he will not be confused by a long tongue. But the student who learns the truth is more than many with a clean, clear tongue and does not sell a short tongue" - Shu"t 5771, Part 3, Simeon And so: "There was a wise man of Judah who was astonished by the long talk with him" - Y. Burla/ Silver, 192)
