Talmud for Ketubot 223:5
לשנה איקלע ר' חייא להתם חזנהו דהוו קיימי כעיזי אמר עזים בין הגפנים אמרו ליה זיל לא תעביד לן כי חברך:
A year later R. Hiyya happened to be there and saw them standing up like goats. He said, “Goats among the vines.” They said to him, “Go away, do not you treat us as your friend did.”
Jerusalem Talmud Rosh Hashanah
Why was Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish offended by this? He was worried about what Rebbi Eleazar said, since Rebbi Eleazar said103Ez. 13:9. Babli Ketubot 112a.: My hand will be against the prophets who see vain things and who conjure lies, in my people’s council104Identifying biblical סוד “council” with rabbinic סוד “secret”. they shall not be; that is the secret of intercalation; in the documents of the House of Israel they will not be inscribed; that is ordination; and to the earth of Israel they shall not come; that is the Land of Israel. Rebbi Eleazar said, when I came here, I said, I have one. When they ordained me, I said, I have two. When I was asked to participate in the intercalation, I said, I have all three with me.
