If Moshe Rabbeinu was taught the entire Torah on Mt. Sinai ([Rashi on Vayikra 25:1][1], [Rambam][2]), how do we explain events such as the incident involving the Bnos Tzelafchad ([Bamidbar 27:1-11][3]), or the tamei people who wanted to bring the Korban Pesach ([Bamidbar 9:1-14][4]), where Moshe evidently did not know the end of the story as recorded in the Torah?
