    • Tanach, 1 Samuel 13:19, with translation of the Jewish Publication Society:
      וְחָרָשׁ לֹא יִמָּצֵא בְּכֹל אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי־אָמְרוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים פֶּן יַעֲשֹוּ הָעִבְרִים חֶרֶב אוֹ חֲנִית:
      weḥārāš lo yimmṣē beḵol ʾereṣ yisrāʾēl ki-āmru felištīm pen yaʿǎsū hāʿivrīm ḥerev ʾō ḥǎnīṯ

      ʾamar rabi zeʿeyra ʾafilu siḥaṯan shel beney ʾereṣ yisraʾel tora, ha ḵeyṣaḏ?
      Rabi Zeira said, "Even the conversation of the people of Eretz Yisrael is of Torah; how can this be?
