Com ja sabem, la Tor? Escrita necessita les explicacions de la Tor? Oral per tal de ser comprensible. Per exemple, la Tor? diu que hem de degollar els animals per poder consumir-los, per? no diu com es fa el degollament, si ?s clavant un ganivet al cor o al coll, o si es pot fer amb un utensili que no sigui de metall, etc. Tots aquets detalls queden perfectament explicats a la Tor? Oral.

Escrita, per? n?hi ha molts que estan perfectament ?desconnectats? d?ella, i les instruccions foren transmeses oralment de mestres a alumnes, generaci? rere generaci? fins que fa dos mil anys van ?sser posades per escrit a causa del gran desastre de la destrucci? del Segon Temple i la dispersi? que la prossegu?.
