Abstract

The research deals with the role played by the Mishnah and Talmud jurists in the development of the law of Moses, peace be upon him, and the stages of this development, and the terms that refer to it with clarification of their linguistic significance, and juristic meaning.
The research aims to provide a linguistic study of some of the juristic terminology, which explains how the law of Moses, peace be upon him, has evolved since it was received in Sinai, and through the transfer of it to those of his successors of the clergy, and until the era of jurists who had the greatest role in this development.
The research follows the descriptive and analytical method of jurisprudence terminology mentioned in Jewish jurisprudence writings, which indicates the development brought about by the jurists in the law of Moses, peace be upon him.

The research concluded several results, the most important of which is that Jewish jurists see that Moses was the first to develop his law, through three axes: transportation, the approach he approached in Sinai, and the syllogism. The jurists have put a definition to their religion (Judaism) based on three terms: Naskh תקנה, Zajr גזרה, and Precaution סייג. The most important topics for developing the law of Moses are prayer, sabbath, holidays, and women's head covering. The texts that include the development of the law of Moses in the Mishnah and the Talmud can be inferred through the linguistic construction of it.
