Rabbi Yaakov Emden ( d. 1776 ) elaborated on the story in a book published in 1748: " As an aside, I ’ ll mention here what I heard from my father ’ s holy mouth regarding the Golem created by his ancestor, the Gaon R. Eliyahu Ba ’ al Shem of blessed memory.
When the Gaon saw that the Golem was growing larger and larger, he feared that the Golem would destroy the universe.
He then removed the Holy Name that was embedded on his forehead, thus causing him to disintegrate and return to dust.
Nonetheless, while he was engaged in extracting the Holy Name from him, the Golem injured him, scarring him on the face.
