Rav Hamnuna: He learns from "Torah Tzivah Lanu Moshe" (Devarim 33,4) - the Gematri'a of Torah is 611; Additionally, Yisrael heard two Mitzvos (the first two utterances) directly from HaShem, "Anochi..." and "Lo Yihyeh Lecha." Dovid haMelech gave 11 Mitzvos for people to focus on (Ramah - through these, HaShem will help them guard all the Mitzvos; others explain, these have exceedingly great reward) Tehillim 15 “Who wishes to live in Your Tent” 1. Chiya bar Aba): "V'Otzem Einav me'R'os b'Ra" - he shuts his eyes to avoid looking at women doing laundry (at the river, for they roll up their clothes to avoid getting wet); It says about one who fulfills these "Hu Meromim Yishkon..." (he dwells above). Yishmael ben Elisha illustrates "Mo'es b'Vetza Ma'ashakos" - he was a Kohen, yet he refused to take Reishis ha'Gez (first shearings) from a party who came for judgment (for this would deprive another Kohen who normally received the man's gifts). Ramah: Originally, if the person observes all the 613 mitzvos, then HaShem provides Divine assistance in protecting a person from the Yetzer HaRa, but does not protect the person that does less than all (even if most). Therefore, these prophets established general mitzvos that would be applicable to all people at all times, for which the Jews could do these mitzvos and earn their portion in the future world. When Dovid saw the people were not able to do so, he established 11 mitzvos that everyone should observe with all its particulars and “branches” (while still observing the basic 613 Mitzvos). Yeshiyahu later gave two primary Mitzvos - "Shimru Mishpat va'Asu Tzedakah." (Yeshiayahu 56,1), which implies guard the judgments of Torah of HaShem, and act charitable with people. Chabakuk gave one primary Mitzvah - "v'Tzadik be'Emunaso Yichyeh." (Chabakuk 2,4); one is to believe that HaShem is the cause of all and good is not due to one’s merits and toils. (Rashi - Chizkiyah was lowly in his own eyes, and he was willing to disgrace himself; Rivan - Chizkiyah scorned even his father, because his father was disgraceful to HaShem); 8. Dirshus haRi Even Shoeiv: Dovid included all 613 mitzvos into his eleven mitzvos (similar to the method that Saadiyah haGa

THE NUMBER OF MITZVOS TO FOCUS ON Makkos 23b-24a: R. Simlai: Moshe received 613 Mitzvos. They are 365 Lavim, corresponding to the days of the (solar) year, and 248 Mitzvos Aseh, corresponding to the limbs in a man. Rav Hamnuna: He learns from "Torah Tzivah Lanu Moshe" (Devarim 33,4) - the Gematri'a of Torah is 611; Additionally, Yisrael heard two Mitzvos (the first two utterances) directly from HaShem, "Anochi..." and "Lo Yihyeh Lecha." Dovid haMelech gave 11 Mitzvos for people to focus on (Ramah - through these, HaShem will help them guard all the Mitzvos; others explain, these have exceedingly great reward) Tehillim 15 “Who wishes to live in Your Tent” 1. Avraham exemplified "Holech Tamim" - "His'halech Lefanai v'Hye Samim"; 2. Aba Chilkiya illustrates "u'Fo'el Tzedek" (he would not even answer 'Shalom' while working); 3. Rav Safra illustrates "v'Dover Emes bi'Lvavo" (he was offered a certain price for something, and intended to accept. Before he was able to speak, he was offered more. Nevertheless, he sold it for the price he mentally agreed to); 4. Yaacov illustrates "Lo Ragal Al Leshono" - he was reluctant to deceive Yitzchak (to get the blessings), even though Rivka told him…
