Midrash sur Le Deutéronome 6:25
וּצְדָקָ֖ה תִּֽהְיֶה־לָּ֑נוּ כִּֽי־נִשְׁמֹ֨ר לַעֲשׂ֜וֹת אֶת־כָּל־הַמִּצְוָ֣ה הַזֹּ֗את לִפְנֵ֛י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּֽנוּ׃ (ס)
Et ce sera œuvre méritoire pour nous de pratiquer soigneusement toute cette loi devant le Seigneur, notre Dieu, telle qu’il nous l’a prescrite."
Sifrei Devarim
"He did the righteousness (tzedakah) of the L-rd": What kind of tzedakah did he do with Israel? All the forty years that Israel were in the desert, the well (of Miriam) rose up for them, and the manna descended for them, and the quail abounded for them, and the clouds of glory surrounded them! But (the tzedakah was that) he taught Torah to Israel, viz. (Devarim 6:25) "And it shall be (accounted) tzedakah to us if we observe to do all the words of this Torah."
