Ramban on Deuteronomy
V’HAY’THAH’ (AND IT SHALL BE) WITH HIM [“it” refers to] the Torah125Since the word v’hay’thah is feminine [literally: “and she will be”] it must refer to Torah which is also feminine. as mentioned [in the preceding verse]. AND HE SHALL READ ‘BO’ (THEREIN) — “in the book”126The word bo (“in him”), being masculine, cannot refer to Torah which is feminine. It must refer to the masculine word, sefer (book), in the preceding verse. The verse reads: and he [the king] shall write him a copy of this ‘Torah’ in ‘a book.’ mentioned [in the preceding verse]. And by way of the Truth, [the mystic teachings of the Cabala], ‘v’hay’thah’ (and it shall be) with him means that the Torah itself will be with him, similar to what is said, And the Eternal gave Solomon wisdom,127I Kings 5:26. and it is further said, And Solomon sat on the throne of the Eternal as king.128I Chronicles 29:23. — Hence “he who prides himself in his heart over other people is a rebel against the Kingdom of Heaven, for he adorns himself in ‘the robe of the Eternal,’ as it is said, The Eternal reigneth, He is clothed in majesty” (Psalms 93:1) [Ramban in his Letter to his son on the Virtue of Humility, Hebrew Ethical Wills, J.P.S., Vol. I, pp. 94-99].
