Halakhah (Heb., from
halak, ‘he went’). A particular
law or the whole Jewish legal system. The halakhah is traditionally believed to go back in its entirety to
Moses. The halakhah is composed of the written law (the
six hundred and thirteen commandments of the
Pentateuch), the statements handed down by tradition (such as the words of the
prophets and the hagiographa (
Writings), the
oral law (which includes interpretations of the written law), the sayings of the
scribes, and established religious custom. Written law is
Torah she-bi-khetav, oral law is
Torah she-beʾal peh (‘… by mouth’).
