Quotes

...See Vayikra Rabba 16:4: "Ben 'Azzai was sitting and expounding Scripture, and a flame was burning round him. They said to him: 'Are you perhaps engaged in the study of the sections of Scripture describing the theophanies?' He answered: 'No, I am but finding in the Torah parallels to expressions in the Prophets, and in the Prophets parallels to expressions in the Hagiographa; and the words of the Torah are joyful even as they were on the day they were being given at Sinai, and they were originally given in fire, as it is said, 'And the mountain burned with fire' (Devarim 4:11). I hope to return to this idea at a future date."
