===Revealed and hidden righteous===


Commenting on {{Bibleverse|Daniel|12:3|HE}} ("...those who lead the masses to righteousness will be like the stars forever and ever"), the [[midrash]] explains that "just as the stars are sometimes revealed and sometimes hidden, so, too with righteous people. And just as there are innumerable clusters of stars, so, too, there are innumerable clusters of righteous people," which indicates that there are significantly more than 36 in the world.<ref>[https://www.sefaria.org/Sifrei_Devarim.47.6?ven=Sifrei_by_Rabbi_Shraga_Silverstein&vhe=Sifrei_Devarim,_Hebrew&lang=bi&with=all&lang2=en Sifrei Devarim 47:6]</ref>
