Thanks much for such an in depth explanation, although well beyond my grasp. The question came up as I was discarding some very old notes taken from a speaker on the Torah. He left off the Torah would bring them back. This was 40 years ago and could no longer remember where to locate the verses. Still not sure where I found them in Christian Scripture. Again, thankyou.

Humbly, it doesn't surprise me. Consider the difference in messaging when part of the passage is brought as opposed to bringing the entire passage: in the first case, "the rabbis" attempting to preserve their political control over the lowly Jews, invent the idea that the man-made law is more important than God. In the second case, God reveals that the law, the Torah, is a clear pipeline to Him. Even if it seems that the connection has been lost, if you keep the Torah, you'll find your way back to God.I was raised a Methodist and questioned why the presenter didn't complete the passage.
