It is this that is written: (Ez. 1:8) And the hands of a ‘man’ (adam) from beneath their wings... What is ‘man’? He of whom it is stated: (Is. 44:13)... like the glory (tipheret) of a man...

And they accept the present from them, and they give it to the King. And if the gift is not fitting, it is handed to ‘the dog’, and they expel their request [Var. for them] to the outside.

For there are those for whom the gates do not open, and it is stated of them: (Deut. 24:11) Outside you shall stand... And the King speaks with them outside, and grants them their request outside, and then they go away.
