ben Jose, who followed in his father's footsteps and became a great rabbinic authority. Teachings Jose frequently showed a tendency to revert to the older Halakha, explaining the text according to its literal meaning Generally, though, his halakic exegesis differed little from that of Akiva, and both often employed the same rules of interpretation. He taught that poultry may be cooked in milk and eaten, as was done in his own native town; and that during Passover one may enjoy anything that is leavened, except as food. Of his aggadic opinions the two following may be mentioned: The command of the Torah that the "face of the old man" shall be honored includes, by implication, the young man who has acquired wisdom. The words "He shall rule over thee" do not include every form of power. Quotes The righteous have their desires in their power, but the wicked are under the power of their desires.
