And it came to pass, when Jacob saw his anger and the roughness of his words, that terrors of death fell upon him. He turned back, and fled from before him, for he saw that he sharpened his eyes upon him. He went to the house of the judge his master. The judge looked at him, and behold, grief bit him with its teeth, so that it changed his likeness and the appearance of his countenance. And the judge said unto him: ‘What ails thee that thou art so changed? Art thou afflicted in aught?’ He replied unto him: ‘My lord, I am in great distress; but I cannot tell my trouble unto thee, lest thou shouldst declare me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth.’ And the judge said unto him: ‘Tell it to me, for in my sight thou art trustworthy in all thy words, and righteous in whatsoever thou sayest.’ Whereupon he related to him all that had happened to him about the necklace, so that his soul chose strangling. The judge then said unto him: ‘Put away vexation from thy heart, and remove grief from thee; be not in pain, and cry not in thy pangs, for I shall restore the necklace unto thee.’ And it came to pass in the morning that the judge sent for the nobles, elders, sages, and wise men of the city to come to the court; for it was his custom to send sometimes for the wise men, and to discuss points of law with them. And they all came to his house to hear the words of his understanding and his wisdom. Now before they came, he said unto his servant: ‘When that nobleman comes, take his shoe,[155] and go to his house, and say unto his wife: “My lord thy husband sent me to thee that thou shouldst give him the necklace which he bought yesterday or the day before yesterday; for he desires to show its goodness and beauty; behold, he gave me his shoe for a testimony and for a sign.”’ When the woman saw her husband’s shoe, she gave him the necklace. The servant brought it to his master, and hid it in his bosom until the men went out from the house of judgment. And it came to pass, when they went out, that his master said unto him: ‘Hast thou brought the necklace?’ And he replied: ‘I have brought it;’ and he took it out from his bosom, and gave it to him. Then he sent and called Jacob the broker, and said unto him: ‘Be still, and groan not, for I have restored the necklace unto thee, and have taken out from the house of the nobleman the thing he gained by oppression.’ When the Jew saw it, he kissed his hands and blessed him. He carried it to his house, joyful and glad of heart. XXVI. SAMUEL B. JUDAH IBN TIBBON [Physician and translator. He was born at Lunel about 1150, and died at Marseilles 1230.
