From David to Destruction
Likewise, Rashash believes that the king’s “Mishneh Torah” is also a bullet point summary of the Mitzvot. He bases his interpretation on Targum Onkelos, which renders “Mishneh Torah” as “Patshegen Oraiyta,” meaning the essence or summary of the Torah.1This interpretation of “Patshegen” is based on an understanding of Esther 4:8, in which Mordechai gives Hatach the “Patshegen Ketav HaDat,” “written text of the law” that proclaims the destruction of the Jews. Presumably, this “written text of the law” is a summary of the full legislation. See the Malbim’s commentary on Esther 4:8.
