Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on April 12, 2002, under the laws of the State of Nevada. From incorporation until March 3, 2006, the Company was an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On February 17, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadasit Medical Services and Development Ltd ("Hadasit") (the "First Agreement") to acquire the provisional patent related to orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes, see also note 2a. On March 11, 2011, the Company was reincorporated from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware. The Company has been in the development stage since its formation and has not yet generated any revenues from its operations. On May 14, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Oramed Ltd., which is engaged in research and development. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term "Group" refers to Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. and its Israeli subsidiary, Oramed Ltd. (the "Subsidiary"), (together with the Company, "the Group"). The Group is engaged in research and development in the biotechnology field and is considered a development stage company in accordance with the ASC Topic 915 "Development Stage Entities". Successful completion of the Company's development programs and its transition to normal operations is dependent upon obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA prior to selling its products within the United States, and foreign regulatory approvals must be obtained to sell its products internationally. There can be no assurance that the Company will receive regulatory approval of any of its product candidates, and a substantial amount of time may pass before the Company achieves a level of revenues adequate to support its operations, if at all. The Company also expects to incur substantial expenditures in connection with the regulatory approval process for each of its product candidates during their respective developmental periods. Obtaining marketing approval will be directly dependent on the Company's ability to implement the necessary regulatory steps required to obtain marketing approval in the United States and in other countries. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these activities. Based on its current cash resources and commitments, and cash received in private offerings in the year ended August 31, 2012 and the three month period ended November 30, 2012 (see note 4b), the Company believes it will be able to maintain its current planned development activities and the corresponding level of expenditures for at least the next 12 months, although no assurance can be given that it will not need additional funds prior to such time. If there are unexpected increases in general and administrative expenses or research and development expenses, the Company may need to seek additional financing during the next 12 months.
In June 2011, the FASB issued an update to ASC No. 220, "Presentation of Comprehensive Income," which eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of shareholders' equity. The Company can elect to present the items of net income and other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. Under either method the statement would need to be presented with equal prominence as the other primary financial statements. The amended guidance, which must be applied retroactively, is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. In December 2011, the FASB issued another update on the topic, which deferred the effective date pertaining only to the presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements. The Company adopted the pronouncement in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2012 (the "2012 Form 10-K"). These condensed consolidated financial statements are not audited but in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted in this interim period report pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Because the condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the 2012 Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2012. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full fiscal year's results.
Certain figures in respect of prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. |

NOTE 2 - COMMITMENTS:
On January 7, 2009, the Company entered into a second agreement with Hadasit (the "Second Agreement") which confirms that Hadasit has conveyed, transferred and assigned all of its ownership rights in the patents acquired under the First Agreement to the Company, and certain other patents filed by the Company after the First Agreement as a result of the collaboration between the Company and Hadasit. On July 8, 2009, the Subsidiary entered into a third agreement with Hadasit, Prof. Itamar Raz and Dr. Miriam Kidron the "Third Agreement"), to retain consulting and clinical trial services from Hadasit. According to the Third Agreement, Hadasit was entitled to total consideration of $400,000 to be paid by Oramed. $200,000 of this amount was agreed in the terms of the First Agreement, and the remaining of $200,000 was paid in accordance with the actual progress of the study. The total amount was paid through May 31, 2011. On September 11, 2011, the Subsidiary entered into a fourth agreement with Hadasit, Dr. Miriam Kidron and Dr. Daniel Schurr (the "Fourth Agreement"), to retain consulting and clinical trial services. According to the Fourth Agreement, Hadasit will be entitled to consideration of $200,000 to be paid by the Company in accordance with the actual progress of the study, none of which was recognized or paid through November 30, 2012.
On February 26, 2012, the parties entered into an amendment agreement, according to which the Subsidiary paid the remaining $51,000 of the Original Agreement upon execution of the amendment agreement. In addition, beginning March 1, 2012 and until submission of the IND, the Subsidiary will pay ADRES a monthly fee of approximately $3,600. The Company recognized the $51,000 as an expense during the year ended August 31, 2012.
On July 3, 2012, the Company and the third party entered into an amendment to the agreement, according to which the original agreement will be extended until July 3, 2013 (unless terminated earlier by one of the parties), and a new payment schedule was determined for the remainder of the share based compensation until July 3, 2013. The Company records expenses in respect of this warrant during the term of the services. The fair value of the option as of November 30, 2012, was $105,455, using the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0% and expected term of 4.2 years; expected volatility of 74.64%; and risk-free interest rate of 0.55%. The fair value of the option granted is remeasured at each balance sheet reporting date and is recognized over the related service period using the straight-line method.
The Subsidiary is committed to pay royalties to the Bio-Jerusalem fund on proceeds from future sales at a rate of 4% and up to 100% of the amount of the grant received by the Company (Israeli CPI linked) at the total amount of $65,053. As of November 30, 2012, the Subsidiary had not yet realized any revenues and did not incur any royalty liability. In the three months period ended November 30, 2012, the Company received $12,320 from the Bio-Jerusalem fund.
Under the terms of the Company's funding from the Israeli Government, royalties of 3%-3.5% are payable on sales of products developed from a project so funded, up to 100% of the amount of the grant received by the Company (dollar linked) with the addition of annual interest at a rate based on LIBOR. At the time the grants were received, successful development of the related projects was not assured. In case of failure of a project that was partly financed as above, the Company is not obligated to pay any such royalties. On November 30, 2012, the Subsidiary had not yet realized any revenues from the said project and did not incur any royalty liability. The total amount that was actually received through November 30, 2012 was $1,332,374. For the three months period ended November 30, 2012, the research and development expenses are presented net of OCS and Bio-Jerusalem fund Grants, in the total amount of $22,378. |

| FAIR VALUE |
NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE: Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. As of November 30, 2012 the assets or liabilities measured at fair value comprise of available for sale securities (level 1). In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income in equity until realized. Unrealized losses that are considered to be other-than-temporary are charged to statement of comprehensive loss as an impairment charge and are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss under impairment of available-for-sale securities. The Company considers available evidence in evaluating potential impairments of its investments, including the duration and extent to which fair value is less than cost, and the Company's ability and intent to hold the investment. Realized gains and losses on sales of the securities are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss as financial income or expenses. Marketable securities consist wholly of equity securities of D.N.A Biomedical Solutions Ltd. ("D.N.A"), which were received in March 2011 as part of the consideration for selling the Company's equity method investee Entera, and in October 2012, as an option to purchase ordinary shares of D.N.A with no additional costs in exchange for the Company's common stock (the "D.N.A Option"). Those securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value. The shares received on March 2011 are traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE") and have a quoted price. The fair value of those securities is measured at the quoted prices of the securities in an active market on the measurement date. The D.N.A shares that will be received upon realizing the D.N.A Option will be restricted for a period of 6 months from realization date according to TASE policy with regards to private placements. The fair value of the D.N.A Option is measured based on the quoted prices of the otherwise identical unrestricted securities, adjusted for the effect of the restriction by applying a proper discount. The discount was determined with reference to other similar restricted instruments. The discount will be decreased over the restriction period. As a result, the fair value of the D.N.A. Option at the closing date and as of November 30, 2012, reflects a discount of 8% on the quoted D.N.A share price, based on similar transactions involving restricted shares of pharmaceutical companies under TASE lock-up rules. Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 are recognized in the beginning of the reporting period. Financial assets carried at fair value as of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012 are classified in the tables below in one of the three categories described above:
The following table summarizes the activity for those financial assets where fair value measurements are estimated utilizing Level 3 inputs:

| WARRANTS |
NOTE 5 - WARRANTS As part of the Company's private placements, warrants were granted to the Leading Investor, as defined in note 4b. 2,187,500 warrants were granted in January 2011 (the "2011 Warrants"), 1,351,352 were granted in August 2012 and 202,703 were granted in November 2012 (together, the "Three Warrants"). Each warrant was granted for five years at an initial exercise price of $0.50 per share. The warrants included a full ratchet anti-dilution protection from the second year anniversary date after issuing the warrant, subject to certain limitations and while the warrant was outstanding. In the event the Company was to issue or sell any common stock for a consideration per share lower than the exercise price then in effect, or was to issue or sell any options, warrants or other rights for the purchase or acquisition of such shares at a consideration per share of less than the exercise price then in effect, the warrants were to be amended to (a) reduce the exercise price to an amount equal to the per share consideration payable to the company in such sale or issuance, and (b) the quantity of warrants were to updated, based on certain rules as determined in the Warrants Agreements with the Leading Investor. As a result of a private placements in August 2012, and pursuant to adjustment terms of the 2011 Warrants, such warrant was amended to: (i) reduce the exercise price from $0.50 to $0.37, (ii) increase the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrant from 2,187,500 to 2,956,081. In addition, as a result of the agreement with D.N.A, as described in note 4c, and pursuant to adjustment terms of the 2011 Warrants, the Company further amended the 2011 Warrants by: (i) reducing the exercise price from $0.37 to $0.3138 and (ii) increasing the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the 2011 Warrants from 2,956,081 to 3,485,500. On November 29, 2012, the Company and the Leading Investor entered into a letter agreement (the "Agreement") in connection with the Three Warrants. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company and the Leading Investor agreed to amend the Three Warrants to provide that the anti-dilution protection of each of the Three Warrants shall be removed in its entirety. In addition, as to the Warrants issued in August and November 2012, the parties agreed that the exercise price shall be reduced to $0.3138. On that day, the Company also issued to the Leading Investor a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the "New Warrant") pursuant to which, the Leading Investor shall have the right to purchase up to 1,647,722 shares of the common stock of the Company over a period of four years at an exercise price of $0.60 per share. The fair value of the New Warrant on the date of grant, was $145,173, using the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0% and expected term of 4 years; expected volatility of 62.29%; and risk-free interest rate of 0.57%. The fair value of the warrants was determined by using Monte Carlo type model based on the risk neutral approach. The model takes as an input the estimated future dates when new capital will be raised, and builds a multi-step dynamic model. The first step is to model the risk neutral distribution of the share value on the new issue dates, then for each path to use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the value of the warrants on the last issue date including all the changes in exercise price and quantity along this path. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement is the future expected issue dates. Significant delay in this input would result a higher fair value measurement. In addition to the New Warrant, Nadav Kidron, the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer and director, in his personal capacity as a shareholder of the Company, undertook and agreed that following the execution and delivery of the Agreement, in the event that an adjustment pursuant to the anti-dilution protection of any of the Three Warrants (had it not been amended by the Agreement thereof) would have been triggered and the number of shares of common stock of the Company that the Leading Investor would have been able to purchase under the Three Warrants would have increased by an aggregate number in excess of 1,647,722 shares, then the Leading Investor shall have the right to purchase from Mr. Kidron such number of shares of common stock of the Company owned by Mr. Kidron equal to such excess, up to a maximum of 1,352,278 shares of common stock of the Company (the "Kidron Option"). The foregoing right shall survive until the termination of such Three Warrants. The fair value of the Kidron Option on the date of grant was $168,220, based on the Monte Carlo type model that is described above. Pursuant to the removal of the anti-dilution protection, the Three Warrants were no longer classified as liabilities. The Company recognized a financial expense in the amount of $296,982. Financial liabilities carried at fair value as of August 31, 2012, are classified in the tables below in one of the three fair value categories:
The following table summarizes the activity for those financial liabilities where fair value measurements are estimated utilizing Level 3 inputs:

| SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract] | ||
| General |
Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on April 12, 2002, under the laws of the State of Nevada. From incorporation until March 3, 2006, the Company was an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On February 17, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadasit Medical Services and Development Ltd ("Hadasit") (the "First Agreement") to acquire the provisional patent related to orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes, see also note 2a. On March 11, 2011, the Company was reincorporated from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware. The Company has been in the development stage since its formation and has not yet generated any revenues from its operations. On May 14, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Oramed Ltd., which is engaged in research and development. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term "Group" refers to Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. and its Israeli subsidiary, Oramed Ltd. (the "Subsidiary"), (together with the Company, "the Group"). The Group is engaged in research and development in the biotechnology field and is considered a development stage company in accordance with the ASC Topic 915 "Development Stage Entities". Successful completion of the Company's development programs and its transition to normal operations is dependent upon obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA prior to selling its products within the United States, and foreign regulatory approvals must be obtained to sell its products internationally. There can be no assurance that the Company will receive regulatory approval of any of its product candidates, and a substantial amount of time may pass before the Company achieves a level of revenues adequate to support its operations, if at all. The Company also expects to incur substantial expenditures in connection with the regulatory approval process for each of its product candidates during their respective developmental periods. Obtaining marketing approval will be directly dependent on the Company's ability to implement the necessary regulatory steps required to obtain marketing approval in the United States and in other countries. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these activities. Based on its current cash resources and commitments, and cash received in private offerings in the year ended August 31, 2012 and the three month period ended November 30, 2012 (see note 4b), the Company believes it will be able to maintain its current planned development activities and the corresponding level of expenditures for at least the next 12 months, although no assurance can be given that it will not need additional funds prior to such time. If there are unexpected increases in general and administrative expenses or research and development expenses, the Company may need to seek additional financing during the next 12 months. |

| Newly issued and recently adopted Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2011, the FASB issued an update to ASC No. 220, "Presentation of Comprehensive Income," which eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of shareholders' equity. The Company can elect to present the items of net income and other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. Under either method the statement would need to be presented with equal prominence as the other primary financial statements. The amended guidance, which must be applied retroactively, is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. In December 2011, the FASB issued another update on the topic, which deferred the effective date pertaining only to the presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements. The Company adopted the pronouncement in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. |
|
| Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Preparation |
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2012 (the "2012 Form 10-K"). These condensed consolidated financial statements are not audited but in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted in this interim period report pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Because the condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the 2012 Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2012. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full fiscal year's results. |

This element represents the portion of the balance sheet assertion valued at fair value by the entity whether such amount is presented as a separate caption or as a parenthetical disclosure. Additionally, this element may be used in connection with the fair value disclosures required in the footnote disclosures to the financial statements. The element may be used in both the balance sheet and disclosure in the same submission. This item represents Available-for-sale Securities which consist of all investments in certain debt and equity securities neither classified as trading or held-to-maturity securities. A debt security represents a creditor relationship with an enterprise. Debt securities include, among other items, US Treasury securities, US government securities, municipal securities, corporate bonds, convertible debt, commercial paper, and all securitized debt instruments.
