Talmud su Proverbi 13:7

יֵ֣שׁ מִ֭תְעַשֵּׁר וְאֵ֣ין כֹּ֑ל מִ֝תְרוֹשֵׁ֗שׁ וְה֣וֹן רָֽב׃

C'è che si finge ricco, ma non ha nulla; C'è che si finge povero, ma ha una grande ricchezza.

Jerusalem Talmud Shevuot

53A slightly reduced form of this text is in Bava qamma6:7 (Notes 111–115) and Alfasi Bava qamma No. 125. It is clear that R. Joḥanan and the editors of the Yerushalmi endorse R. Ḥiyya’s judgment and reject R. Ismael ben R. Yose’s. May one claim extraordinary things? One may, following what Rebbi Joḥanan said, a person may be rich on the market place and poor in his house; rich in his house and poor in the market place. There is one who poses as richand has nothing, poses as poor and has great wealth54Prov. 13:7.. Rebbi Abba told55This introduction, missing in both Bava qamma texts, makes it questionable whether a real case is recounted here.: Bar Ziza’s sharecropper deposited a pound of gold56An enormous fortune, under the Severan emperors the equivalent of 900 ketubot. with somebody. Bar Ziza and Bar Ziza’s sharecropper died; the case came before Rebbi Ismael ben Rebbi Yose. Would one not say that all that Bar Ziza’s sharecropper had was Bar Ziza’s property? It should be given to Bar Ziza’s sons. Bar Ziza’s sons came. He said, the adult ones should take half and when the underage grow up they should take half. Rebbi Ismael ben Rebbi Yose died; the case came before the Elder Rebbi Ḥiyya who said, that argument means nothing since there are people who do not advertise themselves. It should be given to the sharecropper’s sons. The trustee told him, I already disbursed half of it. He told him, what you gave, you gave by court order and what you will give, you will give by court order. May the sharecropper’s sons say to Bar Ziza’s sons, give us what you took? They can tell them, what was done was done by court order. May the underage ones say to the adult, let us share with you? May they tell them, we found a find? Rebbi Isaac said, the case between the adult and underage ones is only comparable to a gift given to them.
