		The Tosefta, the Palestinian Gemara and the Babylonian Gemara, depict Ben Stada as a Jewish sorcerer living around 100 CE and as having brought spells out of Egypt by marking them in his skin (hiding a parchment with them written on it in a cut in his thigh) on a Sabbath.

		This, Rabbi Ishmael explained, means that if a man of good family is ashamed to ask for charity, it is our duty to "open" to him with words, saying, "My son, perhaps you need a loan?" This man would more readily accept, a "loan" which the giver should really treat as a gift.
