mishnah

pronounced mish-NAH

Repetition, study — the early rabbinic compilation of oral Jewish law and practice

In Scripture World English Bible

and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

Deuteronomy 6:7 The later Mishnah is not Scripture; this command supplies a biblical pattern of repeated, embodied teaching.

It shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write himself a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the priests the Levites.

Deuteronomy 17:18 Mishneh here means a copy of the Torah and shares the linguistic field of repetition behind the later title Mishnah.
