[Avodah] Moshe Rabenu got rich from the shivrei luchos

[Alexander Seinfeld]

Dynastic wealth is so rare there are proverbs about its scarcity:

Chinese proverb, ³Rice paddy to rice paddy in 3 generations.²
Japanese: ³Kimono to kimono in 3 generations.²
Indian: ³Sandals to sandals in 3 generations.²
British: ³Clogs to clogs in 3 generations.²

American: ³Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations.²
