The Oral Talmud with Benay Lappe and Dan Libenson Episode 112

(33) Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and was buried on the upper part of the tombs of the sons of David. And they afforded him honor in his death -- all the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Manasseh, his son, succeeded him.

“And they afforded him honor in his death” (II Chronicles 32:33). This teaches that they established a yeshiva at his grave. Rabbi Natan and the Rabbis disagree with regard to this yeshiva: One said: They studied there for three days.

And the other one said: They studied there for seven days. And some say they studied there for thirty days...

...Actually, the honor that was done for Hezekiah was that they laid a Torah scroll upon his bier and they said: This one fulfilled that which is written in this. But nowadays as well, we do this! We take a Torah scroll out but we do not lay it on the bier. And if you wish, say we also lay a Torah scroll on the bier, but we do not say: This one fulfilled that which is written in this.

Rabba bar bar Ḥana said: I was once walking together with Rabbi Yoḥanan to ask him about this statement. Whenever he would enter a lavatory, I would ask him a matter, and he would not answer us until he had washed his hands and donned his phylacteries and made the blessing, and only then would he answer us.

He said: Nowadays, we even say: This one fulfilled that which is written in this, but we do not say: He taught that which is written in this.

But didn’t the Master say: Torah study is great because study leads to doing? This is not difficult: This statement was about studying and that statement was about teaching.
