R. Yehudah Hanassi says: It is written "And Yaavetz called out to the G–d of Israel, saying: 'If You bless me and expand my borders, etc.'" If You bless me with children and expand my borders with sons and daughters, "and Your hand be with me" — in my dealings, "and You keep (me) from evil" — that the life You have given me be free of intestinal disorder, or eye ailments, or headaches, "not to sadden me" — that the evil inclination not sadden me … But if You do not do this for me, I will descend with my grief to the grave. "And the L–rd brought what he asked" — He granted him what he asked.
