There are eight sects of Pharisees, viz, these: — (1.) The shoulder Pharisee, i. <?., he who, as it were, shoulders his good works to be seen of men. (2.) The time-gaining Pharisee, he who says, Wait a while; let me first perform this or that good work." (3.) The compounding Pharisee, i. e., he who says, " May my few sins be deducted from my many virtues, and thus atoned for" (or the bloodletting Pharisee, i. e., he who for fear lest he should look by chance on a woman shuts his eyes and wounds his face). (4.)
The Pharisee who so bends his back, stooping with his head toward the ground, that he wears the appearance of an inverted mortar. (5.) The Pharisee who proudly says, " Remains there a virtue which I ought to perform and have not?w (6.) The Pharisee who is so out of love for the reward which he hopes to earn by his observances. (7.) The Pharisee who is so from fear lest he should expose himself to punishment. (8.) The Pharisee who is born so. Avoth d'Rab.
