[QUOTE="kaganate, post: 2652072, member: 867993"] Deuteronomy 4:1: "And now, O Israel, hearken unto the statutes and unto the ordinances, which I teach you, to do them; that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, giveth you." ------- "hearken" (in modern English "listen to" - "Shema" - ie: he here references the oral teachings. "I teach you" - "Anohi Melamed" - this refers to the explanation by Moses of all the details of what is in the Torah. The word Talmud comes from this - a noun version of the verb "to teach" Moses gave the written Torah, set up the Jewish judiciary and legislature and then taught the detailed explanations of what was in the writing. --- The people he taught passed this teaching and it continues to be passed to the present day. ========== However, Judaism has laws that are called "D'oraita" and "D'rabanan" The first are directly transmitted from the Sinai covenant The second are laws made by the legislature (the rabbis) according the principles and authority coming from the Sinai covenant (even a law from Moses may be "D'rabanan" if it was a law he made according to his position as the legislative leader as opposed to a law that he received from Sinai) All properly educated Jews are always fully aware which law is which.
