Ten things were created on the first Sabbath eve at twilight, and these are they: (1) the opening of the earth's mouth, (2) the mouth of [Miriam's] well, (3) the mouth of the donkey, (4) the rainbow, (5) the manna, (6) the staff, (7) the shamir worm, (8) the script, (9) the reading, (10) and the Tablets. And some say, also the destructive spirits, Moses' burial place, and the ram of our father Abraham. And some say, also [the first man-made] tongs were made with [Heavenly] tongs.

Seven things [are found] in a crude person and seven in a wise person: (1) A wise person does not speak before someone who is greater than himself in wisdom or in number; (2) he does not interrupt the words of his friend; (3) he does not hasten to answer; (4) he asks relevant questions and answers appropriately; (5) he discusses first things first and last things last; (6) about that which he has not heard he says, “I have not heard”; (7) and he concedes the truth. And the opposite [is found] in a crude person.
