Adding and Detracting from Torah
Exegetical Approaches
Limited to Specific Mitzvot
The prohibition relates only to the realm of worship of Hashem and the prohibition of idolatry.
Limited to Mitzvah Details
The prohibition refers only to adding to or subtracting from the details of an already existing mitzvah, not to instituting new commands.
Sources:Sifre Devarim, Rashi, R. Yosef Bekhor Shor, Raavad, Semag, ?Meiri?, Sefer HaChinukh, R. Bachya, R"Y Albo
Applicable Only to the Masses
The directive is aimed only at the masses. Leaders such as prophets or judges are given the right to add to the Torah's commandments.
Sources:Kuzari,
Includes Also Adding Mitzvot
The prohibition includes both adding to the details of a mitzvah and creating an entirely new one.
