Another explanation: "This commandment etc... is not in heaven." Moses said to them, "Do not say that another Moses stood and brought to us a different Torah from the Heavens, I already informed you all that it is not in Heaven, nothing of it remains in the Heavens." Another explanation: Rabbi Chanina said, It (the Torah) and all the vessels of belief in It were given; "its' humility, its' justice, its' integrity, and the gift of its' reward. Another possibility: What does, "It is not in Heaven" mean? Shmuel said, The Torah was not commanded in astrological signs since belief in them is in the heavens. They said to Shmuel, but hey, aren't you an astrologer and also great in Torah? He said to them, I only look at the astrological signs when I am free from the Torah. When is that? When I enter the bathhouse. Another possibility, "It is not in Heaven." They said to Moses our Teacher, but hey, you said to us, "It's not in Heaven, it's not on the other side of the sea, but where is it? he said to them, in the place that is close, in your mouths, and in your hearts to do it, it is not from from you, it is close to you all.

What did they say to the lazy person? Your rabbi in the city goes and learns Torah from us? But he argued with them and responded. I am afraid from the lion on the way. From where is this learned? (Proverbs 26:13) A lazy man says, “There’s a cub on the road" They said to him, "But hey, your rabbi in the country stands and goes with him." He replied to them, "I'm afraid that there will not be a lion in the street, for it says,"a lion in the street"(proverbs 26:13) They said to him, "But hey, the lazy one lives with/in your house. He said to them, "And the lion is outside. They said to him, "Inside the house, he replied to them and said, (what happens) if I am walking and find the door locked, I return and come? They said to him, it is open, and from where do you know that
