It</b> also <b>says</b> there: <b>The beauty of young men is their "strength," and the beauty of old men is "ripe old age." It</b> also <b>says</b> there: <b>Grandchildren are the crown of the elderly, and the glory of "children" are their fathers. And it says</b> in Isaiah: Due to their painful <b>embarrassment and shame,</b> the wicked will see even <b>the moon and sun</b> to be dark <b>when the Lord,</b> God <b>of all creations, rules on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and "honor" is</b> given <b>before His "mature"</b> and wise elders. <b>Rabbi Shimon ben Menatya says: These seven traits the Sages listed</b> as being fitting <b>for the righteous—all of them were fulfilled by Rabbi</b> Yehudah Hanassi <b>and his sons,</b> who possessed all these traits. ח ra|BI shim|ON ben ye|hu|DAH mi|SHUM ra|BI shim|ON ben yo|CHAI o|MER: ha|NOY, ve|ha|KOACH, ve|ha-o|SHER, ve|ha|ka|VOD, ve|ha|choch|MAH, ve|ha|zik|NAH, ve|ha|sei|VAH, ve|ha|ba|NIM, na-EH la|tza|di|KIM ve|na-EH la-o|LAM, she|ne-e|MAR: a|TE|ret tif|E|ret sei|VAH, b'DE|rech tz'da|KAH ti|ma|TZEI. ve-o|MER: tif|E|ret ba|chu|RIM ko|CHAM, va|ha|DAR z'ke|NIM sei|VAH. ve-o|MER: a|TE|ret z'ke|NIM b'NEI va|NIM, ve|tif|e|RET ba|NIM a|vo|TAM. ve-o|MER: ve|chaf|RAH ha|le|va|NAH u|vo|SHAH ha|cha|MAH, ki ma|LACH a|do|NAI tz'va-OT be|HAR tzi|YON u|vi|ru|sha|LA|yim, ve|NE|ged z'ke|NAV ka|VOD. ra|BI shim|ON ben me|nas|YA o|MER: e|LU SHE|va mi|DOT she-a|me|RU cha|cha|MIM la|tza|di|KIM, ku|LAM nit|kay|MU b'ra|BI u|ve|va|NAV. ח rab|BI shim|ʿON ben ye|hu|DHAH mis|SHUM rab|BI shim|ʿON ben yo|ḥAIʾ ʾo|MER: han|NOY, ve|hak|KOAḥ, ve|ha|ʿo|SHER, ve|hak|ka|VODH, ve|ha|ḥokh|MAH, ve|haz|ziq|NAH, ve|haś|śe|VAH, ve|hab|ba|NIM, na|ʾEH lat|tzad|di|QIM ve|na|ʾEH la|ʿo|LAM, shen|ne|ʾe|MAR: ʿa|ṭE|reth tif|ʾE|reth śe|VAH, be|DHE|rekh tze|dha|QAH tim|ma|TZEʾ. ve|ʾo|MER: tif|ʾE|reth ba|ḥu|RIM ko|ḥAM, va|ha|DHAR ze|qe|NIM śe|VAH. ve|ʾo|MER: ʿa|ṭE|reth ze|qe|NIM be|NE va|NIM, ve|thif|ʾe|RETH ba|NIM ʾa|vo|THAM. ve|ʾo|MER: ve|ḥa|fe|RAH hal|le|va|NAH u|vo|SHAH ha|ḥam|MAH, ki ma|LAKH a|do|NAI tze|va|ʾOTH be|HAR tziy|YON u|vi|ru|sha|LA|yim, ve|NE|ghedh ze|qe|NAV ka|VODH. rab|BI shim|ʿON ben me|nas|YAʾ ʾo|MER: ʾel|LU SHE|vaʿ mid|DOTH she|ʾa|me|RU ḥa|kha|MIM lat|tzad|di|QIM, kul|LAM nith|qay|ye|MU be|rab|BI u|ve|va|NAV. ח rab|BI shim|ʿON ben ye|hu|DAH mis|SHUM rab|BI shim|ʿON ben yo|ḥAI o|MER: han|NOY, ve|hak|KOAḥ, ve|ha|ʿo|SHER, ve|hak|ka|VOD, ve|ha|ḥokh|MAH, ve|haz|ziq|NAH, ve|has|se|VAH, ve|hab|ba|NIM, na|EH lat|tzad|di|QIM ve|na|EH la|ʿo|LAM, shen|ne|e|MAR: ʿa|TE|ret tif|E|ret se|VAH, be|DE|rekh tze|da|QAH tim|ma|TZE. ve|o|MER: tif|E|ret ba|ḥu|RIM ko|ḥAM, va|ha|DAR ze|qe|NIM se|VAH. ve|o|MER: ʿa|TE|ret ze|qe|NIM be|NE va|NIM, ve|tif|e|RET ba|NIM a|vo|TAM. ve|o|MER: ve|ḥa|fe|RAH hal|le|va|NAH u|vo|SHAH ha|ḥam|MAH, ki ma|LAKH a|do|NAI tze|va|OT be|HAR tziy|YON u|vi|ru|sha|LA|yim, ve|NE|ged ze|qe|NAV ka|VOD. rab|BI shim|ʿON ben me|nas|YA o|MER: el|LU SHE|vaʿ mid|DOT she|a|me|RU ḥa|kha|MIM lat|tzad|di|QIM, kul|LAM nit|qay|ye|MU be|rab|BI u|ve|va|NAV. ח ra|BI shim|OYN ben y'hu|DOH mi|SHUM ra|BI shim|OYN ben yoy|CHAI oy|MEIR: ha|NOY, v'ha|KOYACH, v'ho-oy|SHER, v'ha|ko|VOYD, v'ha|choch|MOH, v'ha|zik|NOH, v'ha|sei|VOH, v'ha|bo|NIM, no-EH la|tza|di|KIM v'no-EH lo-oy|LOM, she|ne-e|MAR: a|TE|res tif|E|res sei|VOH, b'DE|rech tz'do|KOH ti|mo|TZEI. v'oy|MEIR: tif|E|res ba|chu|RIM koy|CHOM, va|ha|DAR z'kei|NIM sei|VOH. v'oy|MEIR: a|TE|res z'kei|NIM b'NEI vo|NIM, v'sif|e|RES bo|NIM a|voy|SOM. v'oy|MEIR: v'chof'|ROH hal'|vo|NOH u|voy|SHOH ha|cha|MOH, ki mo|LACH a|do|NOY tz'vo-OYS b'HAR tzi|YOYN u|vi|ru|sho|LO|yim, v'NE|ged z'kei|NOV ko|VOYD. ra|BI shim|OYN ben m'nas|YO oy|MEIR: ei|LU SHE|va mi|DOYS she-om'|RU cha|cho|MIM la|tza|di|KIM, ku|LOM nis|kay'|MU b'ra|BI uv'|vo|NOV.
