אמר רב מנשיא בר עות שאילית את רבי יאשיה רבה בבית עלמין דהוצל ואמר לי אין שורה פחותה מעשרה בני אדם ואין אבלים מן המנין בין שאבלים עומדין וכל העם עוברין בין שאבלים עוברין וכל העם עומדין:

WHEN HE IS COMFORTED BY OTHERS etc. The schoolmen asked: When he consoled others, what did he say to them? — Come and hear! 'And he said [to them], Be comforted'. On what occasion [did he actually say this]? Shall we say, when others comforted him? But how could he say, 'Be comforted'? He would suggest ill-omen to them! — it must therefore be taken that when he comforted others, he said: 'Be comforted'. Draw your own conclusion! THE KING MAY NEITHER JUDGE etc. R. Joseph said: This refers only to the Kings of Israel, but the Kings of the House of David may judge and be judged, as it is written, O House of David, thus saith the Lord, execute justice in the morning;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Jer.

Tosefta Megillah

They do not make fewer than seven stops during funeral processions, and they do not say the blessing for mourners with less than ten [present] (Meg. 4:3). And the amidah may not be said with less than ten, and mourners do not count as part of the minyan. We do not say the blessing of the bridegrooms with less than ten, and the bridegroom is part of the minyan. The blessing of the bridegroom may be said either at the engagement meal or at the wedding meal, either on a weekday or on Shabbat. Rabbi Yehuda says, if new people came, we may say the blessing of the bridegroom, and if not, we may not say the blessing of the bridegroom.
