The Torah and The Testimony

"And many people shall go and say, Come you, and let us go up to the mountain of YHVH, to the house of the Elohim of Yaakov; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Tzion shall go forth the Torah, and the word of YHVH from Jerusalem." Isaiah 2:3

"To the Torah and to the Testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Isaiah 8:20

"Who bares record of the word of Elohim, and of the testimony of Yeshua Messiah, and of all things that he saw." Revelations 1:2
"And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of Elohim, and for the testimony which they held:" Revelations 6:9; 20:4 also.

The Torah (the law or word of Elohim) and The Testimony (Yeshua Messiah). The two important things that make us Nazarenes hence why Messiah restated the important of them both.

Matthew 5:17-18 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

Deuteronomy 4:2 and 12:32 make clear refereces to the fact of not changing or adding or subtracting from the Torah.
