Commentary for Berakhot 20:7
על ג' הודו לו גנז ספר רפואות והודו לו כתת נחש הנחשת והודו לו גירר עצמות אביו על מטה של חבלים והודו לו
For three they praised him: he hid away the Book of Healing – they praised him. He ground up the bronze snake – they praised him. He dragged the bones of his father on a bed of ropes – they praised him.
