[Avodah] Moshe Rabenu got rich from the shivrei luchos

[Michael Poppers]

In Avodah V39n31, RZS replied:
> A more interesting question:  Since Moshe presumably had no particular
use for his riches, and therefore would have left a nice inheritance for
his children beyond whatever allotment they would have received in one
of the Levi'im cities, how did his grandson Yonasan become so poor that
he went to work for Micha (the bad one, not the navi)? <
The *midrash* quoted by RAB (see https://www.etzion.org.il/en/moshes-family,
fn6) implies that MRAH did not consider he had any physical property to
pass on to his sons.

P.S. From the spelling <http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0718.htm>, I
think the name was Y'honasan, not Yonasan.

All the best from
