He also related about the greatness of the shame that was with him — that he was ashamed before Hashem Yisburach and felt the shame literally on his face. And he felt as one who is greatly ashamed before his companion. For he felt that the appearance of his face was literally beginning to change to several hues — as is truly the way of those who are ashamed — without any change. And it has already been explained (342) about the greatness of the shame and fear that was always resting on his face — the like of which has never been seen. And the holy rabbi our teacher Rabbi Nachum, may his memory be for blessing, from Tchernobil (343) — saw him in his youth in the holy community of Medvedevka, and was startled by the extreme fear that was on his face then. And he said that what is written (Shemos 20:17): "So that His fear shall be upon your faces, so that you do not sin" — this is seen literally with him. 342. RAK: See below 210. 343. RAK: One of the younger disciples of the Maggid of Mezeritch and the author of the book "Meor Einayim."
