and he gave two more examples of that practice.

I'd just like to add another: "Not by bread alone does man live" --- which is all too often quoted without the ending: "but by all that comes out of Hashem's mouth does man live." (Devarim 8:3)

(By the way, even if the oft-deleted ending is included, it is *still* only half of a pasuk! Look it up!)
