Midrash for Chullin 120:36

רב נחמן בר פפא הויא ליה ההיא גינתא שדי ביה ביזרני ולא צמח בעא רחמי אתא מיטרא וצמח אמר

This refutes those who maintain that the Torah was not divinely revealed.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For Moses could not of his own knowledge have described the various animals mentioned in the Torah, nor could he have known so well the nature of them all. hdhbe');"><sup>12</sup></span>

Sifrei Devarim

(Devarim 14:9) "This may you eat … (12) and this you may not eat, etc.": R. Akiva said: Was Moses a hunter or an archer (that he knew the signs of all the animals in creation)! Let this serve as a riposte to those who say there is no Torah from Heaven!
