15. Come and behold: there is a king of flesh and blood. It is no honor for him to have simple talk and, most certainly, to write these simple things down. Could you imagine if the exalted King, the Holy One, blessed be He, had no holy things to write about with which to produce the Torah, but He merely gathered all the simplest matters, such as: the utterings of Esau; the utterings of Hagar; the utterings of Laban to Jacob; the utterings of the mule; the utterings of Bilaam; the utterings of Balak and the utterings of Zimri. And then He gathered them and all the stories that were written and made a Torah out of them.
15. תָּא חֲזֵי, מֶלֶךְ בָּ"וָ, לָאו יְקָרָא דִּילֵיהּ הוּא, לְאִשְׁתָּעֵי מִלָּה דְּהֶדְיוֹטָא, כ"ש לְמִכְתַּב לֵיהּ, וְאִי סָלִיק בְּדַעְתָּךְ, דְּמַלְכָּא עִלָּאָה קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, לָא הֲווֹ לֵיהּ מִלִּין קַדִּישִׁין, לְמִכְתַּב וּלְמֶעְבַּד מִנַּיְיהוּ אוֹרַיְיתָא, אֶלָּא דְּאִיהוּ כָּנִישׁ כָּל מִלִּין דְּהֶדְיוֹטִין, כְּגוֹן מִלִּין דְּעֵשָׂו. מִלִּין דְּהָגָר. מִלִּין דְּלָבָן בְּיַעֲקֹב. מִלִּין דְּאָתוּן. מִלִּין דְּבִלְעָם. מִלִּין דְּבָלָק. מִלִּין דְּזִמְרִי. וְכָנִישׁ לְהוּ, וְכָל שְׁאָר סִפּוּרִין דִּכְתִּיבִין, וְעָבֵיד מִנַּיְיהוּ אוֹרַיְיתָא.
