An exception can be found in an oft-cited pasuq, in Yeshiah 57:13 (used
by many in / as an introduction to Shabbos morning Qiddush). Mentions
a number of shevusim, including masa umatan.

I can see how a pasuq in Tanakh can be cited to show there is some TSBP
that was already in place and in practice by the time the navi recorded
the. But how can we prove whether those pre-existing dinim are really
deOraisa? Seems that "mo "most matters learned from Nach have the same
status as anything learned from Chumash" could have numerous exceptions.

Tir'u baTov!
