Talmud su Salmi 55:14

וְאַתָּ֣ה אֱנ֣וֹשׁ כְּעֶרְכִּ֑י אַ֝לּוּפִ֗י וּמְיֻדָּֽעִי׃

Ma eri tu, un uomo uguale al mio, mio ​​compagno e mio amico familiare;

Tractate Kallah Rabbati

Whoever learns from his fellow a single chapter, a single rule, even a single verse or even a single small letter18The spelling of a word. Cf. the Gemara below. must treat him with honour; for so we find with David, king of Israel, who learnt from Ahitophel only two things,19For the two lessons, cf. Aboth, Sonc. ed., p. 81, n. 6. yet he treated him as his teacher and guide, as it is stated, But it was thou, a man mine equal, my companion, and my familiar friend.20Ps. 55, 14. Now is there not an argument from minor to major? If David, king of Israel, who learnt from Ahitophel only two things called him his teacher and guide, how much more so must one who learns from his fellow-man a chapter, a rule, a verse, a word or even one letter treat him with honour! And ‘honour’ means nothing but Torah, as it is stated, The wise shall inherit honour;21Prov. 3, 35. [it is also stated,] The whole-hearted shall inherit good,22ibid. XXVIII, 10. and good is nothing else than Torah, as it is stated For I give you good doctrine; forsake ye not my teaching.23ibid. IV, 2.
