How say you, “We are the Wise, VIII. 8
The Law of the Lord is with us.”
But lo, the falsing pen of the scribes
Hath wrought it to falsehood.
Torah, literally direction or instruction, is either a single law or a body of law, revealed by God through priests or prophets, for the religious and moral practice of men. Here it is some traditional or official form of such law, for which the people have rejected the Word of the Lord—His living Word by the prophets of the time (verse 9).
Put to shame are the wise, 9
Dismayed and taken.
Lo, they have spurned the Word of the Lord—
What wisdom is theirs?
Was this Torah oral or written? And if written was it the discovered Book of the Torah, which in part at least was our Deuteronomy?
