His unique commentary sheds light on even its most cryptic passages. The \u003ci\u003eAlshich\u003c\/i\u003e poses questions that perplex the intelligent reader of the \u003ci\u003eTorah\u003c\/i\u003e and then offers in-depth analyses and original interpretations of the text. Time and again, he points out how seemingly haphazard sentence structures are rife with nuances that are pivotal to our understanding of the \u003ci\u003eTorah's\u003c\/i\u003e text. The Alshich’s explanations demonstrate the Divine nature of the \u003ci\u003eWritten Torah\u003c\/i\u003e and show us how the \u003ci\u003eOral Torah\u003c\/i\u003e and its teachings are implicit in the wording of the \u003ci\u003eTorah\u003c\/i\u003e itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nHe poses such diverse questions as:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\r\nOur Sages tell us that \u003ci\u003eHashem\u003c\/i\u003e sent an angel in the form of a snake to swallow \u003ci\u003eMoshe\u003c\/i\u003e.
