Oral Torah I

"Vayidaber Hashem el Moshe Leimor"

The most common Pasuk in all of Chumash.

Rabbeinu Bechayeh points out:

Vayidaber - Torah Shebiksav

Leimor - Torah Shel Baal Peh

Every conversation Moshe had with Hashem is split into two parts.

Part of it was written down and forms the Written Torah.

The other part is relayed orally and becomes a part of Oral Torah.

A fraction of what Hashem told Moshe is actually written down.

But it is all Torah.

And it was all told to Moshe...

Who taught it to Yehoshua and the Zekeinim [elders]...

Who taught it to the Elders to the Prophets...

Who taught it to and the Prophets gave it over to the Men of the Great Assembly...

Who Taught it to...

Who Taught it to... [70x]

Who Taught it to ME and YOU.
