What it does show is that there were traditions/precepts/laws/ordinances that they were taught by those in spiritual authority that were not in writing, but were only verbal, and that they were expected to obey them.
Kinda reminds me of the following...
Mat 23:2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
Mat 23:3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

OLD PATHS ask ANY Messianic Jew about TRADITIONS and the ORAL LAW! I am probably more strict in the LAW and teaching than most here doesn't it make me better? NO! My brother you have thrown and rope around your neck as if you are not careful you will negate the Word of God by adding to which is just as bad as taking away and FALL INTO the pit and you will not have EXCEEDED the righteousness of the Pharisees! I believe in holiness standards and anyone that knows we will testify to that! I also believe GOD has called us to GREATER holiness than that which is taught in the Mosaic Covenant as now he is in our hearts trying to lead us into ALL truth! Thus our actions and ways should be in greater measure HOLY as HE is HOLY! You must be careful or you will make mockery of the HS that is in some and is teaching them!
