"english": "3 Someone who learns a single chapter, a single law, a single verse, a single statement, or even a single letter of Torah from his friend must treat him with honor.1 For we find this by David, the king of Israel—that he learned only two things from Achitofel2—to learn together with other people rather than alone, and to walk with others and with excitement when going to learn—and he called him his rabbi, his leader, and his teacher. As King David says to Achitofel in Psalms: You are a man equal to me; you are my leader and my teacher. Surely this leads us to an obvious conclusion: If David, the king of Israel, learned only two things from Achitofel, and still called him his rabbi, his leader, and his teacher, then if an ordinary person learns a single chapter, a single law, a single verse, a single statement, or even a single letter of Torah from his friend, how much more so must he treat him with honor. Honor is deserved only for Torah. As it says in Proverbs: The Sages will inherit honor; the perfect ones will inherit good. And only Torah is truly good. As it says in",
