Those with clear vision can tell who a person’s Torah teacher is merely by looking at him, provided they already know what his teacher looks like. When a student learns the Torah’s laws from his teacher, his face takes on a resemblance to the one teaching him. This is because Halakhah is the wisdom that makes a person’s face shine (cf. Ecclesiastes 8:1). By receiving the law, he receives a portion of his appearance, their resemblance increasing with each additional law the student receives.
