Joshua handed it to the elder leaders of his generation. The last of the elders conveyed it to the first of the prophets, Samuel, who conveyed it to later prophets. The prophets delivered it to the Men of the Great Assembly—a body of sages who guided the Jewish Nation once prophecy had ceased. The Men of the Great Assembly taught the following three things: 1. Be patient and reflect with care when rendering a judgment. 2. Instruct and establish many students.3 3. Make a protective fence around the Torah, by setting extra rules to keep you from sinning.",
