We will now move on to the important lesson we can learn from the fifth parsha beginning with the letter “aleph”: "אלה הדברים אשר דיבר משה אל כל ישראל"—these are the words that Moshe spoke to all of Yisrael. This passuk clearly alludes to the imperative to heed and learn Torah from the preeminent scholars of our generation, since the neshamah of Moshe Rabeinu shines within them. For, it is written (Devarim 17, 8): "כי יפלא ממך דבר למשפט בין דם לדם בין דין לדין ובין נגע לנגע דברי ריבות בשעריך, וקמת ועלית אל המקום אשר יבחר ה' אלקיך בו, ובאת אל הכהנים הלוים ואל השופט אשר יהיה בימים ההם... ושמרת לעשות ככל אשר יורוך, על פי התורה אשר יורוך ועל המשפט אשר יאמרו לך תעשה".
If a matter of judgment will be hidden from you, between blood and blood, between verdict and verdict, or between affliction and affliction, matters of dispute in your cities—you shall rise and ascend to the place that Hashem, your G-d, shall choose. You shall come to the kohanim, the leviim, and to the judge who will be in those days; you shall inquire, and they will inform you of the letter of the law. You shall act in accordance with the word they will tell you, from that place that Hashem will choose, and you shall be careful to do exactly as they instruct you. According to the Torah that they will teach you and according to the judgment that they will say to you, you shall act. Rashi comments: “And to the judge who will be in those days.” Even if he is not like the other judges who were before him, you must listen to him. You have none but the judge who is in your days.
In Nachal Kedumim (Devarim), the Chida explains the allusion in this passuk: "אלה הדברים אשר דיבר משה אל כל ישראל":
