כִּ֣י שְׁאַל־נָא֩ לְיָמִ֨ים רִֽאשֹׁנִ֜ים אֲשֶׁר־הָי֣וּ לְפָנֶ֗יךָ לְמִן־הַיּוֹם֙ אֲשֶׁר֩ בָּרָ֨א אֱלֹהִ֤ים ׀ אָדָם֙ עַל־הָאָ֔רֶץ וּלְמִקְצֵ֥ה הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְעַד־קְצֵ֣ה הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם הֲנִֽהְיָ֗ה כַּדָּבָ֤ר הַגָּדוֹל֙ הַזֶּ֔ה א֖וֹ הֲנִשְׁמַ֥ע כָּמֹֽהוּ׃
Pergunte, por favor, pelos dias antigos que precederam vocês, desde o dia em que Deus criou o homem sobre a terra, e de um extremo do céu ao outro, se já aconteceu algo tão grandioso quanto isto, ou se algo assim já foi ouvido?
Tosefta Chagigah (Lieberman)
2:7 Those who contemplate four things; what's above, what's below, what's inside, and what's beyond, it would have been better if they weren't born. Scrpiture prohibits investigation in certain areas. One can discuss what happened since the creation of humans on earth. But one must not seek to know what is above, what is below, what is inside, and what is beyond.
