The Women of Moav
Is the
place name
"Shittim" just the place where the Jews sinned with the women of Moav, or was it named "Shittim" because the Jews sinned in "shtut" - foolishness: Bechorot 5b
How the women of Moav lured the Jewish men: Bechorot 5b
Pinchas
Three thousand laws were forgotten
during the mourning for
Moses
. The people asked
Joshua
to ask Gd to re-teach them, but he refused because the Torah is "not in Heaven."
Samuel
and Pinchas refused, too, arguing that a
prophet is not permitted to institute anything new
: Temurah 15b-16a
