![Rabbi Shimon ben Yoḥai says: [This is analogous] to one who would reject women *He would reject women as marriage partners. and was steeped in promiscuity. He would say: ‘What woman whom I would want? Is this the woman I would want?’ He grew old and sought to marry a woman. They said to him: ‘Unlucky, unfortunate one, what woman would want you now that your nose runs, you are hard of hearing, and your eyesight is dim?’ So too, “but know that for all these, God will bring you to judgment.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hvewqubhepq5iqpuhinzjmys/bafkreifbusxyrnxrxumvywkvl3zeg5iykpc6k7zqcgltyppy4jder6bxze)

R. Yehuda HaNasi: It is revealed and known that there are more non-kosher animals than kosher ones, so Torah lists the kosher ones. More kosher birds than non-kosher birds, so Torah lists kosher ones R. Huna cit. Rav or R. Huna Rav cit. R. Meir: This teaches to always teach concisely #DafYomi 63b
