The Gemoro (Eruvin
21a) and R.Eliezer Hakalir in Parshas Shekalim סלוק,
compare the size of the world to the size of the Torah.
According to the Gemoro, the
Torah is 3,200 times greater than the world. According to R.
Eliezer Hakalir, it is 2,400 times greater.
It would seem from this that
the Torah is finite the same way as the physical world is finite. However, we
do know that the Torah is infinite and has no limitations.
Perhaps Chazal are not
comparing the physical sizes of the two but are comparing the blessings and all
the good things
that the world has to offer
compared to the Torah which offers 3.200 or 2.400 times more.אמבצי
