רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר וְרַבִּי יוֹסֵי חָמוֹי, הֲווֹ אָזְלוֹ מֵאוּשָׁא לְלוֹד. אָמַר רִבִּי יוֹסֵי לְר' אֶלְעָזָר, אֶפְשָׁר דְּשָׁמַעְתָּ מֵאָבִיךָ, מַאי דִכְתִיב, (בראשית לב) וְיַעֲקֹב הָלַךְ לְדַרְכּוֹ וַיִּפְגְּעוּ בוֹ מַלְאֲכֵי אֱלֹקִים. אָמַר לֵיהּ הָכֵי שְׁמִיעַ לִי מֵאַבָּא, אִינוּן הֲווֹ מַלְאָכִים דְּאוּזְפוּהוּ בְּקַדְמִין מֵאַרְעָא דְיִשְׂרָאֵל. אָמַר לֵיהּ, מָאן אִינוּן. אָמַר לֵיהּ לָא יְדַעְנָא. אָמַר לֵיהּ, יָאוֹת לְכוֹן צַדִּיקַיָא, מִלָּה דְפוּמְכוֹן כְּכִתְרָא דְּמַלְכוּתָא, בְּרֵישָׁא דְמַלְכָּא.
Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Yose his father in law were going from Usha to Lod. Said Rabi Yose to Ravvi Elaza, is is possible that you heard from my father what is written "And Yaakov went along his way and met him angels of God"? He said to him, his is what my father told me. Those are angels that escorted him at first from Israel. He said to him: who are they? He said "I don't know" He said, "appropriate for the rightious, a word from your mouths is like a crown of the king on the head of the king.
עַד דַּהֲווֹ אָזְלֵי מָטוֹ לִמְעַרְתָּא דְלוֹד, שְׁמָעוּ הַהוּא קָלָא דַּאֲמַר, תְּרֵין עוּזְלִין דְּאַיַּילְתָּא, עֲבָדוֹ קֳדָמַי רְעוּתָא דְּנִיחָא לִי, וְאִינוּן הֲווֹ מַשִּׁרְיָיתָא קַדִּישָׁא, דְּעָרַע יַעֲקֹב קַמֵּיהּ. אִתְרְגֵישׁ רִבִּי אֶלְעָזָר, וְאִצְטָעֵר בְּנַפְשֵׁיהּ, וַאֲמַר, מָארֵיהּ דְּעָלְמָא, כָּךְ אוֹרְחוֹי, טַב לָן דְּלָא נִשְׁמַע, שְׁמַעְנָא וְלָא יְדַעְנָא.
As they went, they reached the cave of Lod. They heard a voice that said "two kids of an Ayal, they did something vefore me that was pleasent to me, and they are the holy servants that met jacob before him. Rabbi Elisazer felt and was sad and said "God, this is our way, it would be better that we didn't hear....we heard and didn't know"
אִתְרְחֵישׁ לֵיהּ נִיסָּא, וּשְׁמַע הַהוּא קָלָא דַּאֲמַר, אַבְרָהָם וְיִצְחָק הֲווֹ. נְפַל עַל אַנְפּוֹי, וְחָמָא דִּיוּקְנָא דְאָבִיו, אָמַר לֵיהּ, אֲנָא שָׁאֵילְנָא, וַאֲתֵיבוּנָא, דְּאַבְרָהָם וְיִצְחָק הֲווֹ, דְּעָרְעוּ לְיַעֲקֹב, כַּד אִשְׁתֵּיזֵיב מִלָּבָן.
Then a miracle happened and he heard that voice say "They were Abraham and Isaac". He fell on his face and saw a vision of his father. He said, "I asked and you answered that they were Abraham and Isaac that accomanied Jacob when he was saved from Lavan.
אָמַר לֵיהּ, בְּרִי, פּוּק פִּיקָתָךְ, וְסַב סִיבָתָךְ, דְּפוּם מְמַלֵּל רַבְרְבָן הוּא. וְלָא דָא הוּא בִּלְחוֹדוֹהִי, אֶלָּא לְכָל צַדִּיקָא, נִשְׁמַתְהוֹן דְּצַדִּיקַיָא מְעָרְעָן קֳדָמוֹהִי לְשֵׁזָבוּתֵיהּ. וְאִינוּן מַלְאָכַיָא קַדִּישֵׁי עִילָּאֵי.
He said to him, "my son, go and turn around, because the mouth that speaks is great. Not only this but for all the Rightious. The souls of the rightious are awakened beofre him to save him. And they are holy elevated angels."
וְתָּא חֲזֵי, יִצְחָק קַיָּים הֲוָה בְּהַהוּא שַׁעֲתָא, אֲבָל נִשְׁמָתָא קַדִּישָׁא אִתְנְסֵיבַת בְּכוּרְסֵי יְקָרָא דְמָארֵיהּ, כַּד אִתְעַקַּד עַל גַּבֵּי מַדְבְּחָא, וּמִכְּדֵין אִסְתִּימוּ עֵינוֹי מִלְּמֶחֱזֵי. וְהַיְינוּ דִּכְתִיב, (שם לא) וּפַחַד יִצְחָק הָיָה לִי.
Look, Isaac was still alive then, but his holy soul that is take from the throne of glory of his mater, when he was bound on the alter, and from that point his eyes were blinded from seeing.
This is what is written "and the fear of my father was with me."
He said to him "what are we there?" He said to him, "I and you are elevated angels, to regjoice in the Messiah the king David." He got up, as he got up, he saw his father in law that his face was bright as the sun
