Similarly, Rabbi Isaac read to teach that the prophets received from the Revelation at Sinai all the messages that they were to prophesy to subsequent generations. For does not say, "who are not here "standing" with us this day," but just "who are not with us this day." Rabbi Isaac taught that thus refers to the souls that were to be created thereafter; because these souls did not yet have any substance in them, they could not yet be "standing" at Sinai. But although these souls did not yet exist, they still received their share of the Torah that day. Similarly, Rabbi Isaac concluded that all the Sages who arose in every generation thereafter received their wisdom from the Revelation at Sinai, for says, "These words the Lord spoke to all your assembly . . . with a great voice, and it went on no more", implying that God's Revelation went on no more thereafter.
