פירוש על קידושין 61:8

For six hundred thousand profit: He would have made a profit of six hundred thousand gold dinars.

But the key was placed under his father’s head: In the Yerushalmi, it is found that his legs were stretched over the container, and that is why he did not break it.

Interestingly, the greatest example of honoring one’s parents is brought from a non-Jew, the famous Dama ben Netinah (rhymes with an old favorite, Funky Cold Medina). Dama did not wake up his Dad, even though this would have profited him 600,000 gold dinars. I have told me children that if someone comes by to our house and offers a deal that will make me the equivalent of millions of dollars, I’m okay with being woken up.
