"For they delight in the Torah of the Lord, and in His Torah they meditate day and night." This is what the verse means when it says, "And the way of your word leads to success." The generation refers to the one that teaches by gathering the wise, not to flatter them, but to speak the truth. The generations are praised for their teachings, like those of Rabbi Yochanan and Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish, who would sit and discuss them.
"Your Torah is full of wonders" (Psalms 119:129). Rabbi Chiya said, "If you desire the Torah that was written with wonders and given with the right hand, as it says, 'From His right hand came a fiery law for them' (Deuteronomy 33:2), then you are destined to sit and teach and impart knowledge." Rabbi Abba said, "If you desire the Torah that has a final outcome, it will be named after you, like the Mishnah of Rabbi Hoshaya and Bar Kappara, and others like them.
And why are they named after them? Because they delved deeply into it." You should know that this is the Torah of the Holy One, blessed be He, as it says, "The Torah of the Lord is perfect" (Psalms 19:8). Moses ascended to the heavens and spent forty days there, and he gave his life for it, and that is why it is named after him, as it says, "Remember the Torah of Moses, My servant" (Malachi 3:22).
