A man with only one son advised him on his death bed to occupy himself with study and charity. Left with 3,000 gold pieces, the latter gave 1,000 to assist marriage, 1,000 to bury a great Rabbi and 1,000 to annul an evil decree forbidding circumcision and marriage.
Elijah appeared to him and gave him ten gold pieces, by means of which he became very wealthy, and showed him his glorious reward in Paradise.
