Excluding Prophecy from the Halakhic Process
11. Maimonides, MT Foundations of the Torah 9:1–4
Translated by Bernard Septimus, forthcoming in the Yale Judaica Series (Yale University Press).
As we have already seen, Maimonides grounds the authority of the Torah in the unique prophecy of Moses (5, §12). Therefore, no subsequent prophet can make law. Maimonides here excludes prophets from any participation in the legal process, turning Rabbi Yehoshua’s pronouncement “It is not in heaven” into a constitutional principle.
