Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished to you in connection with a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) being filed by Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the registration by the Company of up to an additional aggregate amount of $4,700,000 of shares of Common Stock, $0.012 par value per share of the Company (the “Shares”), which registration statement incorporates by reference the contents of the existing registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-236194) (together, the “Registration Statements”), all of which may be issued from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
We are acting as counsel for the Company in connection with the Registration Statements. We have examined signed copies of the Registration Statement and have also examined and relied upon minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company as provided to us by the Company, the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company, each as restated and/or amended to date (collectively the “Charter Documents”), and such other documents as we have deemed necessary for purposes of rendering the opinions hereinafter set forth.
In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and the legal competence of all signatories to such documents. Other than our examination of the documents indicated above, we have made no other examination in connection with this opinion.
The opinions rendered herein are limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law and the federal laws of the United States.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that: when (i) specifically authorized for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors or an authorized committee thereof (the “Authorizing Resolutions”); (ii) the Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act; (iii) if necessary, an appropriate prospectus supplement with respect to the Shares has been prepared, filed and delivered in compliance with the Securities Act and the applicable rules promulgated thereunder; (iv) the terms of the sale of the Shares have been duly established in conformity with the Charter Documents and do not violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding on the Company and comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company; (v) the Shares have been issued and sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement and any prospectus supplement, if applicable; and (vi) the Company has received the consideration provided for in the Authorizing Resolutions and such consideration is not less than the par value of the Shares, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

This opinion may not be relied upon for any other purpose, or furnished to, quoted or relied upon by any other person, firm or corporation for any purpose, without our prior written consent, except that (A) this opinion may be furnished or quoted to judicial or regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over you, and (B) this opinion may be relied upon by purchasers and holders of the Shares currently entitled to rely on it pursuant to applicable provisions of federal securities law.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement.
