מִבֶּ֛ן עֶשְׂרִ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה וָמָ֑עְלָה כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ צִוָּ֨ה יְהוָ֤ה אֶת־מֹשֶׁה֙ וּבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל הַיֹּצְאִ֖ים מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
'[Возьми сумму народа] от двадцати лет и выше, как повелел Господь Моисею и сынам Израилевым, которые вышли из земли Египетской.'
Mekhilta DeRabbi Yishmael
Once, Rebbi was sitting and expounding that one woman bore sixty ten thousands, when a disciple interjected: Rebbi, who is greater, the world or the tzaddik? Rebbi replied: The tzaddik. How so? When Yocheved bore Moses, he countervailed the entire world. And where do we find that Moses countervailed the entire world? In (Numbers 26:4) "as the L–rd commended Moses and the children of Israel", and "Then sang Moses and the children of Israel", and (Devarim 34:10) "And there arose no prophet again in Israel like Moses."
