[Mesorah] "P'nimiyus"

[Micha Berger]

The Or haChaim uses the term: Shemos 22:14, Vayiqra 18:4, Bamidbar 23:22.

The Alshich uses "penimiyus haTorah" 5 times. (E.g. Devarim 5, "vayitneim
eilay".

All in all, Bar Ilan has 122 hits. I see the Malbim is on the list:
Bereishis 3:21, Shemos 22:20.

 

 

Tir'u baTov!

You know me by now with my interest in words and terms. Sometimes the
origins of words and term can tell us a lot.

Chasidic writers talk a lot about "pnimiyus haTorah." Since we all know what
the word means, I never paid attention.  But recently I saw someone who
claimed that the Ari and the Vilner Gaon talk about p'nimiyus haTorah, which
made me pause.  AFAIK, both of those source talk a about the qabbolo and the
sodos of qabbolo, but I do not recall either using the term "pnimiyus
haTorah."

I may be wrong,

Does anyone know a use of the term "pnimiyus haTorah" before Chasidus
started?
