וְכָתַבְתָּ֣ עֲלֵיהֶ֗ן אֶֽת־כָּל־דִּבְרֵ֛י הַתּוֹרָ֥ה הַזֹּ֖את בְּעָבְרֶ֑ךָ לְמַ֡עַן אֲשֶׁר֩ תָּבֹ֨א אֶל־הָאָ֜רֶץ אֲֽשֶׁר־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֣יךָ ׀ נֹתֵ֣ן לְךָ֗ אֶ֣רֶץ זָבַ֤ת חָלָב֙ וּדְבַ֔שׁ כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבֶּ֛ר יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵֽי־אֲבֹתֶ֖יךָ לָֽךְ׃
Haruslah engkau menuliskan padanya segala perkataan Taurat ini ketika engkau menyeberang, supaya engkau masuk ke negeri yang diberikan Yang Mahakekal, Allahmu, kepadamu, suatu negeri yang berlimpah susu dan madu, sebagaimana telah difirmankan Yang Mahakekal, Allah nenek moyangmu, kepadamu.
Sifrei Devarim
"And you shall write them": I might think (that he could write them) on stones — you, therefore, reason: It is stated here "writing," and, elsewhere (Ibid. 24:1) "writing." Just as there, on a scroll, here, too, on a scroll. You reason this way; but I can also reason: It is stated here "writing," and, elsewhere (Ibid. 27:8) "writing." Just as there, on stones, here, too, on stones! — Would you say this? There is a difference. I can learn one thing from another, and I can deduce one thing from another. I can learn one thing that obtains for all generations from another than obtains for all generations; but we do not deduce a thing that obtains for all generations (i.e., our instance) from something that obtains only for that time (i.e., the instance of the stones). As it is written (Jeremiah 36:18) "And Baruch said to them: From his mouth he read all these words to me, and I wrote it in the book with ink."
