Responsa zu Zechariah 2:12
כִּ֣י כֹ֣ה אָמַר֮ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאוֹת֒ אַחַ֣ר כָּב֔וֹד שְׁלָחַ֕נִי אֶל־הַגּוֹיִ֖ם הַשֹּׁלְלִ֣ים אֶתְכֶ֑ם כִּ֚י הַנֹּגֵ֣עַ בָּכֶ֔ם נֹגֵ֖עַ בְּבָבַ֥ת עֵינֽוֹ׃
Denn so spricht der Herr der Heerscharen, der mich nach Herrlichkeit zu den Völkern gesandt hat, die dich verwöhnt haben: 'Wahrlich, wer dich berührt, berührt den Apfel seines Auges.
Shut min haShamayim
They answered: "Now you stand here with me" (Deuteronomy 5:27) "And I shall give you the instructions and the laws that I have written to inform them" (Exodus 24:12) "Let no hand touch it, for stoned or shot" (Exodus 19:13) will be anyone who touches their words, "it is like touching the pupil of their own eye." (Zechariah 2:12) For in many places, the sages made their own laws stricter than those of the Torah. All this they responded to me.
