Yes — between traditions
Awaiting editorial review
Drafted with AI assistance; editorial verification pending.
The core of Rabbinic Judaism’s answer. In the priesthood case the same conclusion appears as a reading principle (AM-AX-005); here it is the conclusion under examination, with its own derivations.
Never combined
Levels as proposed in the draft. They have not yet been verified by an editor and may change on review.
The wording is stable across all major witnesses of the cited edition; no known variant affects the proposition.
The plain-sense derivation turns on ʿôlām (AM-CLAIM-000218).
The claim is about what a text says or means, not about an event, date or document, so external corroboration does not bear on it.
Two independent derivations: through rabbinic interpretation (needs AM-AX-007) and from the plain sense of Deuteronomy and the perpetual statutes (needs no axiom, but needs AM-CLAIM-000218).

Each community is given its own law; later revelation may modify earlier precepts.

| Primary witness | Work | Edition cited |
|---|---|---|
| Deuteronomy 4:2 | Deuteronomy | Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, 5th edition |
| Deuteronomy 13:1 | Deuteronomy | Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, 5th edition |
| Maimonides, Mishneh Torah Yesodei HaTorah 9:1 | Mishneh Torah | Mishneh Torah, standard printed edition |
The claim quotes no translated wording.
No variant bearing on this claim is recorded.
A derived claim: it holds only while at least one derivation below holds.
Deuteronomy forbids adding or subtracting; the Talmud reads Leviticus 27:34 as closing prophecy’s power to innovate; Maimonides codifies the rule. Interpretive authority rests with the sages, not with heaven.
An independent route that needs no reading principle: the commandments may not be altered, and several are given “forever”. It does need the perpetual sense of ʿôlām.
An Amoraic dictum, read by later authorities
Permanence is qualified within rabbinic literature itself: “the commandments will be annulled in the time to come”.
Deuteronomy’s prohibition binds within history; it does not settle the status of the commandments for the dead or in the messianic age, which the dictum addresses.
b. Niddah 61b
Christian traditions
The Sinai covenant’s ceremonial provisions are fulfilled in Christ and no longer bind.
Jeremiah’s new covenant and Hebrews 8:13 mark the first covenant as growing old; Paul calls the law a guardian until Christ.
Jeremiah 31:31–34; Hebrews 8:13; Galatians 3:24–25
Sunni and Shiʿi Islam
God gives each community a law and a way; later revelation may lift or modify earlier precepts.
The permanence of the Sinai law is not denied for its community; it does not bind those given a later law.
Q 5:48; Q 3:50; Q 7:157
Latter-day Saint
The law of Moses was fulfilled in Christ and its performances ended.
The risen Jesus declares the law fulfilled to the people of the Book of Mormon.
