Midrash sur Sotah 9:13
רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן אֶלְעָזָר אוֹמֵר, הַטָּהֳרָה נָטְלָה אֶת הַטַּעַם וְאֶת הָרֵיחַ. הַמַּעַשְׂרוֹת נָטְלוּ אֶת שֹׁמֶן הַדָּגָן. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, הַזְּנוּת וְהַכְּשָׁפִים כִּלּוּ אֶת הַכֹּל:
Le rabbin Shimon ben Elazar dit: [la cessation de l'observation des] lois de pureté a enlevé le goût et le parfum, [la cessation de l'observation de] la dîme a enlevé la graisse du grain. Mais les Sages disent: le libertinage et la sorcellerie ont tout détruit.
Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer
THE CREATION ON THE EVE OF THE SABBATH
TEN things were created (on the eve of the Sabbath) in the twilight (namely): the mouth of the earth; the mouth of the well; the mouth of the ass; the rainbow; the Manna; the Shamir; the shape of the alphabet; the writing and the tables (of the law); and the ram of Abraham. (Some sages say: the destroying spirits also, and the sepulchre of Moses, and the ram of Isaac; and other sages say: the tongs also.)
