רבי חנינא מיעטף וקאי אפניא דמעלי שבתא אמר בואו ונצא לקראת שבת המלכה רבי ינאי לביש מאניה מעלי שבת ואמר בואי כלה בואי כלה רבה בר רב הונא איקלע לבי רבה בר רב נחמן קריבו ליה תלת סאוי טחיי א"ל מי הוה ידעיתון דאתינא אמרו ליה מי עדיפת לן מינה
[The continuation of a larger exploration of delight in and deference to Shabbat:] Rabbi Ḥanina would wrap himself (in his garment or tallit) and stand at nightfall on Shabbat eve, and say: Come, let's go out to greet Shabbat the queen! Rabbi Yannai put on his garment on Shabbat eve and said: Enter, O bride. Enter, O bride. Rabba bar Rav Huna happened to come to the house of Rabba bar Rav Naḥman. They brought before him three se-ah of oiled biscuits. He said to them: Did you know I was coming and prepared all of this in my honor? They said to him: Are you more important to us than Shabbat?
