that_o the_o hebrew_n word_n mishn_v do_v not_o signify_v the_o original_a scripture_n but_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o rabbin_n upon_o the_o text_n of_o scripture_n mr._n walker_n it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o rabbin_n call_v their_o exposition_n sometime_o by_o this_o name_n as_o for_o example_n rabbi_n moses_n maymonides_n call_v his_o sum_n of_o the_o talmid_n mishu_v torah_n but_o you_o

text_n of_o the_o law_n write_v in_o double_a form_n which_o double_a form_n of_o writing_n be_v easy_a to_o be_v read_v and_o understand_v and_o be_v a_o exposition_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o

be_v more_o short_a and_o obscure_a and_o the_o jew_n do_v call_v by_o this_o name_n the_o book_n of_o deuteronomy_n because_o it_o be_v a_o exposition_n of_o the_o law_n write_v more_o obscure_o in_o
