613 mitzvot were told to Moses, 365 were negative commandments, by the solar calendar (helps you remember the number of negative commandments), 248 positive commandments that represent the limbs of a person. Rav Hamnoona said: what is this verse? - “Torah was commanded to us for us by Moshe as an inheritance.” “Torah” in gematria is 611, “ am the Lord your God” and “There shouldn’t be idols” from the mouth of the mighty one that they heard.
David came and stood on 11, it is written, “The song from David--Micah came and made the mitzvot stand on 3, it is written in the torah “tell the man what is good and what is and what is required, and do the commandments with love and kindness and be humble with God.” “judge” - that is justice, “love and kindness” - that is acts of kindness, “walk modestly with God” - that takes the dead and enters a bride.
