And as it is written: the repetition of the Torah to these against Moses
See ⟦Rebecca⟧ son of the prophecy of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
In the name of the foundation of its foundation, that is, the Torah is a part
the seventh, supreme Grace; and so King David, peace be upon him, is the part
of Sovereignty in the Torah, and she has five names
however to these they are: David King of Israel lives and endures
and from there the Torah descends through Moses our Teacher
peace be upon him, and as it is written: And this is the Torah which Moses set before
the children of Israel, and as it is written: Remember the Torah of Moses My servant
which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, statutes
and ordinances, and as it is written: <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> The Torah Moses commanded us
as an inheritance of the congregation of Jacob, and as it is written: The Torah of the Lord is perfect,
restoring the soul; and as it is written: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise
the simple; and as it is written: the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
and as it is written: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; and as it is written:
the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; and as it is written: the judgments of
the Lord are true, they are righteous altogether; and as it is written: More to be desired are they than gold,
yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Moreover by them is Thy servant warned; in keeping of them there is great reward.
Who can discern errors? Clear Thou me from hidden faults. Keep back Thy servant also from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me; then shall I be faultless, and I shall be cleared
from great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable
before Thee, O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer. O Lord, open Thou my lips, and my mouth
shall declare Thy praise. And as it is written: And it came to pass, when the ark set forward,
that Moses said: 'Rise up, O Lord, and let Thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate Thee flee
before Thee.' And when it rested, he said: 'Return, O Lord,
unto the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel.' And as it is written: 16 And this for Judah,
and he said: 'Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people.'

And ⟦Moses took the⟧ bones of Joseph with him, for
he had ⟦solemnly adjured the⟧ children of Israel, saying: God will surely
remember ⟦you; and you⟧ shall carry up my bones
from here with you. And our Sages of blessed memory said:
How did Moses know where Joseph was buried?
They said: Serach the daughter of Asher remained from that
generation. Moses went to her and said to her: Do
you know at all where Joseph is buried? She said to him:
A metal coffin the Egyptians made for him, and they fixed it
in the midst of the Nile so that its waters would be blessed.
Moses went and stood on the bank of the Nile
and called out and said: Joseph, Joseph, the oath has arrived
that the Holy One, Blessed be He, swore to Abraham our father
to redeem His children. If you show yourself,
well and good; but if not, we are cleared
from your oath. Immediately, the coffin of Joseph floated.
And do not wonder how the iron floated, for behold,
Elisha made the iron float; and is this not a fortiori
argument? If Elisha, the disciple of Elijah,
made the iron float, Moses, the teacher of Elijah, how
much more so.
