Correction of dimensions
Hello,
I saw on the Atzor forum that they think the rabbi was referring to Midot and Maimonides in the Book of Numbers 8, which indicates that there are commandments regarding Midot.
I don’t know when all the litigation was, though,
In what I skimmed through the thread, two sources that discuss the subject were not addressed:
Os Reish Hilchot 1000, in his remarks on the commandments of 1000, briefly addresses why the Torah did not command about measurements.
And at length, Tefai Kedushin Pa Mishnah 10 Letter E9.
From these words it emerges that Mitzvah 8 speaks of a goal, namely, one must be merciful and compassionate like God, one must strive for good qualities.
But the Torah does not command to be humble or not to be angry as a defined and fixed measure, the reason being that measures that are not according to the commandments are not a defined unit and do not change; they depend on the person, place, time, and context.
The Tefai cites cases in which one should be angry, etc. It cites Moses, who sometimes got angry and was punished, and sometimes not.
Therefore, the Torah did not command this as a clear and permanent commandment, making it impossible.
Good day,
