Part 2

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Now that we are moving on to the second part of the lecture, which is the scientific evidence that the Torah of Israel could never have been given by a flesh- and-blood man, first of all, right at the beginning, the Torah tells the people of Israel something very interesting in Chapter 4 of Deuteronomy, Chapter 4 verses up to it. It says that they asked for the first days, but look into history. The Torah speaks to all the generations of the history. The Torah speaks to all the generations of the people of Israel until the end of the material world. The Torah says that they asked for the first days, from the day that God created man on the earth, the day that the Creator of the world created man, from one end of the sky to the other end of the sky. Is this great thing or what is heard like it? Hear with a question mark. Hear with all. G-d speaks from the question mark. Hear with all. G-d speaks from the fire. When you heard it, you will live. The Creator of the world turns to the people of Israel and says to them, my sons, go and check in history whether such a thing has ever happened. Did a group of people ever come and claim that I spoke to them? It is not a question of whether it was or was not. If they only claimed, even a claim that you heard or did I ever perform miracles like I did for you in the Exodus from Egypt or the Ascension. God came to take for himself a nation
