Midrash for Sotah 81:8
וגולל את התורה ומניחה בחיקו כו' וכל כך למה שלא להוציא לעז על ס"ת
THEN HE ROLLS THE TORAH-SCROLL TOGETHER, PLACES IT IN HIS BOSOM etc. Why all this?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Viz., his exclamation, 'More than I have read' etc. ');"><sup>7</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
"who is not your brother": This is a slave. When (King) Agrippas came to this verse, he would burst into tears, (his father being a non-Jew), whereupon all of Israel said to him: "Fear not, Agrippas; you are our brother, you are our brother," (his mother being Jewish).
