How is the Torah "Temimah"?
Shloymie: If the Torah is "Temimah" how come certain things are omitted, for instance, the prohibition against Rape?
RRW: Good point. Maybe because given everything else in the Torah, we can figure that out ourselves!?
Shloymie: Fine, but surely there are many other things we "could have" figured out, EG Lo Tignov! So, is this consistent?
RRW: OK - maybe Temimah means "wholesome" not "comprehensive" - which might explain its context in the passuk preceding Mesheevat Nefesh?
Shloymie: So does that mean that Temimah implies that Torah is "Nutritious" for the soul?
RRW: Indeed! And perhaps that approach works better, both in context and in reality.
Best Regards,
RRW
