"And
Rabbi Levi bar Chama said in the name of Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish: What
is the meaning of that which is written: 'I shall give you the Tablets
of stone, and the Torah, and the commandments which I have written, to
teach them' (Exodus 24:12)? 'Tablets' - these refer to the Ten
Commandments; 'Torah' - this refers to the Pentateuch; 'and the
commandment' - this refers to the Mishnah; 'which I have written' -
these refer to the Prophets and the Writings; 'to teach them' - this
refers to the Gemara. The verse thus teaches that all of them were given
to Moses at Sinai."
