Torah as Guide, Guardian, and Advocate in Vayetzei

Midrash Tanchuma Buber, Vayetzei 2:2

Curated by Arthur·Translated by Maggid (Beta)·

Another interpretation of "When you walk, it will guide you" (Proverbs 6:22): at the time when a person toils in Torah during his life. "When you lie down, it will watch over you" — [for it watches over him] from worm and from maggot. "And when you awaken, it will converse with you" — in the time to come, when all shall stand in judgment, it is his advocate and pleads merit on his behalf.
