אזל לגביה א"ל ממנו לא שמעתי אלא כך אמר לי שמואל בר נחום אחי אמו של רב אחא ברבי חנינא ואמרי לה אבי אמו של רב אחי ברבי חנינא הואיל וסופן להשתבר

Go therefore to R. Tanhum b. Hanilai who was intimate with R. Joshua b. Levi, who was an expert in <i>Aggadah</i>. When he came to him he was told by him thus: 'From R. Joshua b. Levi I have not heard anything on the matter. But R. Samuel b. Nahum the brother of the mother of R. Aha son of R. Hanina, or as others say the father of the mother of R. Aha son of R. Hanina, said to me this: Because the [first tablets containing the] Commandments were destined to be broken.'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ex. XXXII, 19. ');"><sup>3</sup></span> But even if they were destined to be broken, how should this affect [the mention of wellbeing]? — R. Ashi thereupon said: God forbid! Wellbeing would then have ceased in Israel.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e. if it would have been inserted in the first Decalogue it would have ceased altogether when the two tablets were broken. ');"><sup>4</sup></span>
