Editing Chashmal (section)

== In the Book of Yechezkel ==
The Gemara relates: There was an incident involving a child who was reading from the Book of Yechezkel in his teacher's house, and he was contemplating the chashmal, and fire came forth from the chashmal and burned him. They sought to hide away the Book of Yechezkel, but Chananya ben Chizkiya said to them, "If this one is 'wise' (if this child is wise enough to engage with this before his time), are all wise? (this doesn't mean that all children are wise enough to come and engage with this before the proper time)?" But regarding adults, there is no prohibition to engage with it.
