Talmud zu Könige II 22:11

It is written: “Cursed be he who would not raise all the words of this Torah.” Can the Torah fall down? Simeon ben Yaqim¹¹⁰Nachmanides (Commentary to Deut. 27:26) reads Rebbi Simeon ben Yaqim. says, that is the ḥazzan who stands¹¹¹Nachmanides does not read the last two words. It would seem that his reading is correct. In Europe, the word חזן always denoted the reader who stood before the congregation and led it in prayer. However, in the East, the חזן was always the employee of the congregation who functioned as rabbi, reader, ritual slaughterer, and general organizer of the community (cf. Berakhot 3:1, Note 60). At Torah readings, the ḥazzan had to see to it that the Torah scroll was lifted and shown to all present.. Rebbi Simeon ben Ḥalaphta says, that is the earthly house¹¹²Nachmanides reads זֶה בֵּית דִּין שֶׁלְּמַטָּה “that is the earthly court” (which has to supervise the moral state of the community.), as Rav Ḥuna, Rav Jehudah said in the name of Samuel: Josia tore [his garments] about this verse¹¹³2K. 22:11. He asserts that upon hearing the Torah [which by tradition had been forbidden by his father Amon (cf. Midrash Haggadol Deut. on Deut.27:26)], Josia tore his garments on hearing Deut. 27:26. and said, I have to raise.
