What is the relationship of scriptures and talmud in the Jewish ideas of justice?

∙ 6y ago
The Jewish laws and concepts of all things (includingjustice) are based upon the Hebrew Scriptures (the Hebrew Bible; the Tanakh), together with the Jewish ancient Oral Tradition, which is recorded in the Talmud. The Hebrew Bible by itself would be too brief if not for the Talmud, which serves to elucidate the commands.
For example, the law of honest weights and measures (Leviticus 19:36) does not state if any deviation is permitted. How often do the scales need calibration? What is the penalty for overcharging? Etc.

The laws (Deuteronomy ch.17) concerning the judges (Torah-sages; Sanhedrin) do not say what exactly constitutes bribery (Deuteronomy 16:19). Is it bribery if I compliment a judge before the court case but do not give a gift? And myriad other questions: How many judges are a quorum for Torah-courts? Is there a time limit for court cases? Etc.
The laws concerning restitution for damages (Exodus ch.22) do not tell us if payment needs to be made for emotional stress.
The key Hebrew word in Exodus 22:4 can mean either fire or cattle. Which is it? Or is it both?
In Exodus 22:5, is there a difference in restitution between deliberate and accidental spreading of fire?
So the answer to your question is that the Torah (Hebrew scripture) summarizes our laws, while it is the function of the Talmud to expand upon the details, and to give us the precedents and Torah-tools for determining new cases in the future.

The story of the miracle of the oil is found in the Jewish Talmud, in a passage written in the 3rd Century.

It is understood to be just a legend, and is very popular with children.Answer:The miracle of the oil is documented in the Talmud and in earlier sources too.
