Doesn't the commentary have equal if not superior status?
Sanhedrin 59a I took the trouble to look up. In fact it says that a non-Jew
who studies the Torah deserves death. It also says he is a "High Priest" and
rounds off with a discussion of which animals one may cut living parts from
and eat.
Whether googling the rabbinical Law qualifies me for the death penalty is
unclear.
cheers,
Tim
