Regulations – Their Origin and Authority
Hello Rabbi,
1.
I wanted to know what is the source and authority of the Sage regulations, decrees, and restrictions? Surely you cannot deny that it is not their source, because it is completely uninterpretable. And so it is in other places.
Isn't it absurd that the source of authority for the Sages is the Midreshet Chachamik!?
2.
Does the rabbi know of examples of ancient regulations in the Bible? That they obligated the public?

Hello Moshe.
- This is the plain meaning of the verses. See my response to igod. It is not absurd, just as in Israeli law the Supreme Court determines its own powers. At the top of each pyramid stands only one entity, and by definition it determines its own powers (because there is no one above it). And is it not absurd that God, the Holy One, determines His own powers?
- Ancient regulations are not explicitly documented, but our sages told us that there were ancient regulations, of Moses, King Solomon, and more. You can see a review at the beginning of the first volume of Y. Szczypanski's book, Regulations in Israel.
