The elders of the court handed him over to the elders of the priesthood and they took him up to the upper Chamber to the house of Abtinas. They adjured him, took their leave, as they said to him: Sir High Priest, we are messengers of the Beth Din and you are our messenger and the messenger of the court. We adjure you by him that made his name to dwell in this house that you do not change anything of what we said to you. He turned aside and wept and they turned aside and wept.
