Commentary for Berakhot 40:19
כדאשכחן בסיני
No ; it is as we find at Mount Sinai.
Abraham Cohen Footnotes to the English Translation of Masechet Berakhot
Cf. Exod. xix. 15. The Israelites had to be ritually clean just to hear the Divine words. Therefore to hear (and consequently, to meditate upon) Torah is the equal of utterance.
