And he said unto me, To build her a house in the land of Shinar.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Zech. V, 9f. Shinar is Babylon.');"><sup>11</sup></span> Whereon R'Johanan said: This refers to hypocrisy and conceit, which descended to Babylon! - Yes, it did come down hither, but made its way thither [to Elam]. This follows too because it is written, to build her a house:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Rashi offers two explanations: (i) the inf. 'to build' implies that it was only an intention, not subsequently carried out; (ii) the sing. 'her', instead of 'them', intimates that only one took up her permanent residence in Babylon, viz., hypocrisy.');"><sup>12</sup></span>
