the talmud is encylopedic & excruciating if the torah says "thou shalt not steal" it break it down to "what if you find something? what if it's small/expensive? what if it's large/cheap? are those stealing?" it's not even in hebrew. a talmudic scholar is the acme of Jewish study https://twitter.com/Matthew66847437/status/1115692041382633473 …
