Tangentially:
Some interesting Halachos from p'sukkim that may or may not be d'oraisso -
at least in certain contexts


   1. I believe Rambam uses bal Teshaktzu as  an imperative not to delay
   one's call to to nature.
   2. Yet I do not believe ihe has it in his Minyan Hamitzovs
   3. Simlary he uses lo Yir'eh lecha Ervas Davar as imperiative not to
   daven in front of  exrement or a woman who  has exposed a tefach
   4. Yet this, too is NOT in Rambam's minyan hamitzvos however, [it IS
   in the SMAK's minyan]
   5. Taz uses Temimos as rationale for davening late on first night of
   Shavus
   6. MahRIL darshens semuchin to say Tzitzis is olbigation only for the
   married because Gedillim is samuch to ki yikach ish isha.
   7. As I have repeated on another thread, Hazal say lo soch'lu al
   hadam  implies not eating before davening. But MOST shitos is that davening
   is derabban anyway. And The Rambam who holds it IS d'orrasio has no fixed
   time of day mid'orrasio, making not eating before hand an unlikely
   requirement from a mid'orrasisso perspective.
   8. Sephardic poskim understand bracha levatalla to be an isssur
   d'orrasiso of lo sisa. Ashknezim hold this is ONLY an asmachta b'almo
