Musar for Yoma 138:7
נפל להו פיתקא מרקיעא דהוה כתב בה אמת
who has destroyed the Sanctuary, burnt the Temple, killed all the righteous, driven all Israel into exile, and is still dancing around among us! Thou hast surely given him to us so that we may receive reward through him.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For resisting him successfully Israel would be rewarded.');"><sup>12</sup></span> We want neither him, nor reward through him! Thereupon a tablet fell down from heaven for them, whereupon the word 'truth'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., I agree with you: you spoke the truth.');"><sup>13</sup></span> was inscribed.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
When Moses, the man described as the most humble man who ever lived, permitted himself to say: "Any matter which is too difficult for you bring to me," G–d reacted by proving that he could not even deal with a problem that women knew the answer to, i.e. the problem presented by the daughters of Tzlofchod (Deut. 1,17, concerning Numbers 27,4-5).
