Today we discuss the mysterious phrase 8:12 -
'אכתוב לו רובי תורתי כמו זר נחשבו'
Either:
"Though I write for him the great things of My
Torah, they are reckoned a strange thing"
Or the Midrash (Tanchuma Ki Tissa 34):
"I write the majority of the Torah [but leave the Mishnah unwritten] so that the [Oral Torah] remains undecipherable [strange] to the Nations of the World.
