Sastra Bait Kedua Ulangan 17:11: Megillat Ta'anit

עַל־פִּ֨י הַתּוֹרָ֜ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר יוֹר֗וּךָ וְעַל־הַמִּשְׁפָּ֛ט אֲשֶׁר־יֹאמְר֥וּ לְךָ֖ תַּעֲשֶׂ֑ה לֹ֣א תָס֗וּר מִן־הַדָּבָ֛ר אֲשֶׁר־יַגִּ֥ידֽוּ לְךָ֖ יָמִ֥ין וּשְׂמֹֽאל׃

Sesuai dengan ajaran yang mereka ajarkan kepadamu dan sesuai dengan keputusan hukum yang mereka katakan kepadamu, haruslah engkau bertindak; janganlah engkau menyimpang dari keputusan yang mereka beritahukan kepadamu, baik ke kanan maupun ke kiri.

Megillat Ta'anit

The Tzaddukim had a book of laws - "These are stoned, these are burned, these are killed by sword, these are stangled."  When it was written, a person would ask (what to do) and go look in the book.  If you asked them, "How do you know this one is stoned or burned or decapitated or strangled?", they wouldn't be able to bring a proof from the "the instructions given to you" (Devarim 17:11).  Because we don't write laws in a book. ... The day that it was destroyed, they made a holiday.
