| Apr 23, 2013 at 4:55 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | I agree. But doesn't this imply otherwise: I'm pretty sure that is what the Mishna is indicating with the word "LeShmo". The Sefer Torah the King writes should be specifically written in order to fulfill this Mitzvah. | |
| Apr 23, 2013 at 4:18 | comment | added | Menachem | @DoubleAA: I think it is referring to the King. Since each king has an obligation to write a sefer torah, he is writing it for him (i.e. the king). The Soncino translates it as: "AND HE SHALL WRITE IN HIS OWN NAME A SEFER TORAH." | |
| Apr 23, 2013 at 2:33 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | So you think the object of "LeShmo" is the specific mitzva of writing a Torah for the King? Isn't Mitzva still feminine? It should be "LeshmaH". | |
