And through it does a person ‘ask according to the subject, and respond in accordance with the law’.xxiMishnah Avot 5:7
‘That which is heard’ (shama)’atta of tradition – it is in the heart, for thought is there.
‘Inconclusive’ (teiyqu) – is when the King withdraws from Her. It is this that is written: (Ps. 39:3) I was struck dumb, I was silent from the good – and in it is silent prayer. And when She is teyqu (inconclusive), it is stated of Her: (Prov. 1:28) Then shall they call me, and I will not answer.
