תּוֹרָה צִוָּה־לָנוּ מֹשֶׁה מוֹרָשָׁה קְהִלַּת יַעֲקֹב — "Moses charged us with the Torah, a possession for the congregation of Jacob." Biblical מורשה/מורשה is simply a holding — a plot of land one owns or inherits (Ezekiel 11:15, on who owns Israel's territory) — or, here, the Torah itself as Israel's inheritance. Modern Hebrew narrows the word to abstract cultural inheritance: מורשת ("heritage") names historic sites (אתרי מורשת), the legacy a society hands down (מורשת קרב, "battle heritage," in the IDF), and gives its name to government bodies such as the Ministry for Jerusalem and Heritage. The plain sense "an inherited holding" survives mainly in this verse and in legal/historical Hebrew; for most speakers מורשה/מורשת now means legacy, not real estate.

אַשְׁרֶיךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל מִי כָמוֹךָ עַם נוֹשַׁע בַּה' — the next-to-last verse of the Torah, Moses' final exclamation over the nation he is about to leave. אַשְׁרֶיךָ ("happy/fortunate are you") is a common biblical formula (Psalms 1:1, 32:1), but אשריך ישראל specifically became a fixed congratulatory tag: quoted, often in the plural אשריכם ישראל, as the headline of celebratory pashkevilim (Hebrew street posters) and flyers announcing a simcha or communal achievement — two items in the National Library of Israel's ephemera collection reuse the exact biblical wording as their title. In ordinary speech אשריך/אשרייך still means simply "lucky/fortunate you," now usually addressed to an individual rather than to the nation.

וִיהוֹשֻׁעַ בִּן־נוּן מָלֵא רוּחַ חָכְמָה כִּי־סָמַךְ מֹשֶׁה אֶת־יָדָיו עָלָיו — Moses transfers his authority to Joshua by the physical act of סמיכה, laying his hands on him (cf. Numbers 27:18, 23). Rabbinic tradition reads this literal gesture as the origin of סמיכה, the unbroken chain of ordination by which a teacher confers rabbinic authority on a student; the word survives in modern Hebrew as the standard term for rabbinic (and by extension academic) ordination, with a תעודת סמיכה ("ordination certificate/diploma") as its concrete artifact — exactly the kind of document the NLI's street-poster collection preserves. The same root ס-מ-כ also gives modern Hebrew לסמוך על ("to rely/depend on") and סמכות ("authority"), both descendants of the same image of one thing physically resting its weight on another.
