Talmud for Numbers 14:17
וְעַתָּ֕ה יִגְדַּל־נָ֖א כֹּ֣חַ אֲדֹנָ֑י כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבַּ֖רְתָּ לֵאמֹֽר׃
And now, I pray Thee, let the power of the Lord be great, according as Thou hast spoken, saying:
Tractate Soferim
The yod of teshi23Deut. 32, 18, thou wast unmindful. must be smaller than any yod in the Scriptures. The yod of yigdal24Num. 14, 17, let … be great. must be bigger than any yod in the Torah.25So GRA and N.Y. V erroneously ‘big, because they are letters which are in Scripture’. H lacks the sentence. Yisra’el at the end of the Torah26Deut. 34, 12, Israel. must be enlarged, while the lamed in it must be higher than any other lamed.
