61. Tosefta (Addendum). Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Yosi his father-in-law were on their way from Osha to Lod. Rabbi Yosi asked Rabbi Elazar whether he had heard from his father an explanation of the verse written of Jacob: "And Jacob went on his way and angels of Elohim met him" (Beresheet 32:2). He latter replied that he did not know. When they arrived at the cave of Lod, they heard a voice that said: 'Two young deers have pleased me by fulfilling My desire; these are the holy camp that Jacob met on his way.' Those words made Rabbi Elazar very excited, and he then said: Master of the Universe, such are His ways, for it is better for us not to hear. I hear yet do not comprehend.
62. Then a miracle happened to him and again he heard the same voice saying to him that those two were Abraham and Isaac. Then he fell to his face and his father's image appeared before him. He said to him: Father, I have asked ABOUT THE TWO DEERS, and was answered that they were Abraham and Isaac; they met Jacob when he was saved from Laban. He said to him: 'Son, release that which was cut off and accept your NEW source. It was a mouth which speaks greatly.' Furthermore, the souls of the righteous, who are holy supernal angels, come to all the righteous to save them.
63. Come and behold: Isaac was alive at that time, but his holy soul was taken to the Throne of his Master when he was to be sacrificed on the altar. After that, his eyes were dim, as it is written: "Were it not that...the fear of Isaac had been with me" (Beresheet 31:42). End of Tosefta (Addendum).
