18 It must be admitted that this way of interpreting the intent of the law has a long history. According to the Talmud, once when several rabbis were disputing a point of law, a series of miracles seemed to support one of the interpretations. Finally, a voice from heaven said that the interpretation was correct. The other side, however, was not convinced. “Said R[abbi] Jeremiah:… the Torah ha[s] already been given at Mount Sinai; [so] we pay no attention to a Heavenly Voice ….” The Babylonian Talmud (I. Epstein ed.) (Nezikin II, Baba Mezia 59b) (1935).
