[Avodah] who do you ask to explain a pasuk

[Ben Waxman]

Rav Yehoshua Reiss, in an article in the book "Hi Sichati" in which he 
reviews the history of learning Tanach in Am Yisrael, brings the 
following story:

Rav Hai Gaon was learning with his students and they came across a pasuk 
from Tehillim (141:5). There was a difference of opinion about its 
meaning. Rav Hai told Rav Mazliach to go to the Catholic (monestary?) 
and ask him how he explains this verse.
