Talmud su Kil'ayim 9:4

Rebbi used to ordain double ordinations¹¹⁰This ordination was not simply the granting of an ecclesiastical degree but carried with it the appointment as Ḥakham to a rabbinic post which it was the Patriarch’s duty to see to it that it was filled.. If they were worthy of it they were continuing; if not they were disappearing¹¹¹If those appointed by Rebbi were found worthy of the posts given to them in the eyes of heaven, they lived a long life; otherwise they would die an early death.. When he was to die, he commanded his son; he said, do not act thus but ordain all of them together, and ordain Rebbi Ḥama bar Ḥanina¹¹²One has to read either simply Ḥanina (as in the parallel Eccl. rabba 7(16)) or Ḥanina bar Ḥama (Babli Ketubot103b). As the name Ḥama shows and the story confirms, he was a Babylonian (Babylonian Aramaic from the Accadic ח֗מי “to protect, guard, trust”.) first. Why did he not ordain him himself? Rebbi Derosa said, because the Sepphoreans complained about him¹¹³That he was too strict in his rabbinic rulings, being a recognized scholar but not appointed by the Patriarch.. And because of complaints one acts? Rebbi Eleazar ben Rebbi Yose said, because he corrected him in public. Rebbi was sitting, stating: Their refugees will remember Me¹¹⁴Ez. 7:9., on the mountains like valley doves, all of them cooing¹¹⁵Ez. 7:16. For “cooing”, Rebbi used rabbinic Hebrew hōmiōt.. He said to him, all of them cooing¹¹⁶In correct biblical Hebrew (almost MT) hōmōt.. He asked him, where did you study this text? He said, before the Babylonian Rav Hamnuna. He said to him, if you will descend there, tell him that he should ordain you as Ḥakham. He understood that he¹¹⁷R. Ḥanina understood that he would not become Ḥakham in Rebbi’s lifetime. never would be ordained in his lifetime. After he died, his son wanted to ordain him, but he did not accept to be ordained unless Rebbi Ephes the Southerner was ordained before him. There was there an old man who said, if Ḥanina precedes me, I have to be the second; if Rebbi Ephes the Southerner precedes me, I have to be the second. Rebbi Ḥanina accepted to be ordained as third¹¹⁸According to both parallel sources he agreed to be the third in rank in the Academy of Rebbi’s successor..

MISHNAH: If the widow said, I cannot move from my husband’s house, the heirs cannot say to her, go to your father’s house and we shall support you there, but they support her and give her a dwelling commensurate with her honor.
