DEUT1457 Our ethical literature of bounds in stories describing the meticulous honesty of great men who shunned every form of deception, especially when the victim was a non-Jew. (Hull. 94a; B. Bath 90b; Deuteronomy R. iii. 3). The most famous being that of R. Shimeon b. Shetah who returned the gem found in the saddle of an ass he had bought from an Arab. This honesty caused the owner of the gem to praise the God of the Jew.
