HH: The concept comes from the Bible, God's word. We can appreciate any 
light on the Scriptures that Rambam may have to shed. You are certainly 
allowed to share anything Rambam may have said about the Scripture. No 
one is saying that the greatest Jewish exegetes of the Bible are 
inappropriate for this list.
