When the river split (part 2)

Hi,

(continued from yesterday:)

"There was also a man who was carrying wheat for Passover. R' Pinchas ben Yair told the river, 'Split for him, to, for he is involved in a mitzvah!' The river split.

"There was also an Arab merchant escorting R' Pinchas and the wheat-carrier. R' Pinchas ben Yair told the river, 'Split for him, too, lest he say, 'This is what is done to those who escort others?' The  river split for him, too."

(Talmud, Chullin 7a)

Have a great day,

Mordechai
