One more observation. And this observation is also made by the Ramban, and that is if you take a look at the first of the Sadibros, Hakadosh Baruchu is talking in the first person. Anochi Hashem Elokecha asher hotzeisicha me'eretz Mitzrayim mibeis avadim, right? The second one. Lo yihiye lecha Elohim acherim al panai, right? So, the first one starts Anochi. The second one is al panai. This is Hakadosh Baruchu talking in the first person, says the Ramban. If you go already to the third Dibra, it's lo sisa shem Hashem Elokecha, right? Elokecha, what do you mean? Hakadosh Baruchu is talking. Vayedaber Elokim es kol hadvarim ha'eleh lemor. And now all of a sudden it's Elokecha. And really, that's the entire theme. Kabeid es avicha ve'es imecha lema'an ya'arichun yamecha al ha'adamah asher Hashem Elokecha notein lach. Ki sheishes yamim asah Hashem, not ki sheishes yamim asisi, ki sheishes yamim asah Hashem. And says the Ramban, I don't understand. Hakadosh Baruchu communicated all the Sadibros. So, why is it that the first two of the Sadibros it's Anochi, it's al panai, right? Yet afterwards it's Elokecha, it's Elokecha, Elokecha. What's going on? Says the Ramban, the pshat over here is pashut. Pshat is based on a Gemara that everybody knows. It's a Gemara in Maseches Makos daf kuf gimel amud beis. The Gemara says, Darash Rav Simlai, sheish me'os ushlosh esrei mitzvos ne'emru lo leMoshe. There were 613 mitzvos that were given over to Moshe Rabbeinu. Shlosh me'os ushishim vechamesh lavin keminyan yemei hachamah, 365 lavin like the days of a week, umasa'im ve'arba'im ushmoneh asei, and 248 mitzvos asei keneged eivorav shel adam. Keneged rema'ch eivorav of a person. Amar Rav Amram, amar Rav Nachman Amar Rav Amram, is there remez to 613 mitzvos? He said, yeah. Torah tziva lanu Moshe. Torah we were taught by Moshe. The gematria of Torah is 611. That means 611 mitzvos are from Moshe. Now, Anochi velo yihiye lecha they were two mitzvot that we got from Hakadosh Baruchu. That's the first two of the Aseres Hadibros. 611 from Moshe, two from Hakadosh Baruchu, it's back of the envelope arithmetic. That's how we come up with a number of having 613 mitzvot. Says the Ramban, Rav Simlai, Rav Hamnuna already taught us that Anochi Hashem Elokecha implying that the other eight dibros we didn't hear from Hakadosh Baruchu. Says the Ramban, it's like that's the dik of Halacha. That the first two dibros that we heard directly from Hakadosh Baruchu, that's Anochi Hashem Elokecha, that's Lo Yihyeh Lecha Elohim Acherim Al Panai. But everything after that we heard from Moshe. Being that we heard from Moshe, so now already it's Eloikecha, Eloikecha, right? Now already we're talking not in the first person. And the reason is cuz those we didn't hear directly from Hakadosh Baruchu. Oh, but the Ramban, I don't understand. Because at the end of the day, the Aseres Hadibros begin Vayidaber Elokim es kol hadvarim ha'eleh lemor. We heard all 10 from Hakadosh Baruchu. So I hear the dik of pesukim, and I know the Gemara Makos 23b, but at the same time, what are you going to do with this pasuk? Vayidaber Elokim es kol hadvarim ha'eleh lemor. So the truth is Ramban quotes Ibn Ezra. And by the way, this Ibn Ezra, if you want to look it up, you should. Asher Yisrael asher lo Elohim acherim al panai. But everything after that we heard from Moshe. Because it's a meforesh pasuk. Either Chazal Chazal mean whatever Chazal meant. It's interesting by the way, cuz Ibn Ezra at first glance sounds like he's very very sharply going against Chazal. So you're going to tell me, what, this is first time you ever learned in heaven as listen to this lotion I have an Ezra the Ezra says he says don't think that I'm suggesting that weren't right keep that nickel cuz our opinion is nothing compared to the opinion of like it's just that the people in this generation think that you're supposed to take that literally that it's not the way it is as I'm going to explain I think this you have to put on a bumper sticker you have to remember this because really this is somebody you have to apply to many not even a question how to find this cuz it's talked away in the middle of pages and pages and pages but the bottom line is I think that line is a magnet but regardless of that said there's no question in the world we heard all 10 from I don't know I have a tomorrow you will call me PR so I want to let me tell you what happened what happened was came and he told us is called but we couldn't understand everything that I could just go and say kind of ears you would have to have to be able to hear or eyes you would have to have in order to see the of is something that is above our pay grade stating that the first two of that the risk we were able to understand it was everything after that that all of a sudden wasn't making any sense so much got up and much started being with those other eight and like this we were able to understand it so I'm done it's true that we heard all 10 from I could just go and it's also true that we heard only the first two but not the other eight we heard all 10 all 10 of the debrus out of Hakadosh Baruch Hu and somehow was communicated to us. But hey yo we didn't understand the latter eight. Moshe Rabbeinu had to come and Moshe Rabbeinu had to be mefaresh what it was that Hakadosh Baruch Hu was saying. Now the first two Moshe Rabbeinu didn't have to be mefaresh cuz the first two we were able to understand on our own. It's for that reason the first two of the debrus which we were able to understand directly from Hakadosh Baruch Hu Anochi and Lo Yihye L'cha. So those are mentioned in the first person cuz we understood it that way from Hakadosh Baruch Hu. However, the latter eight even though we heard it from Hakadosh Baruch Hu we couldn't understand it. When did we understand it? When Moshe Rabbeinu explained it. When Moshe Rabbeinu explained it he didn't repeat it the way Hashem said it. He said already Elo Kecha Elo Kecha Elo Kecha, right? And it's for that reason the latter eight debrus are mentioned in that way. Abba Zutra Ramban Avada to say that we didn't hear all as as debrus from Hakadosh Baruch Hu is clear. Vayidaber Elohim es kol hadvarim eleh lemor. Additionally, additionally to say that we heard with that clarity all of the as debrus is also not something I'm comfortable saying because Anochi Lo Yihye L'cha Mi Pi Hashem which implies that other debrus we didn't hear from Hakadosh Baruch Hu. Hakaitz said we heard all 10 but we only understood two and that's why it's written the way it's written. What emerges from the Ramban is very interesting thing and that is that if you think about all 613 mitzvahs we got them really in three levels. Anochi Lo Yihye L'cha we heard from Hakadosh Baruch Hu no intervention. The next eight Hakadosh Baruch Hu told us but we needed the peirush. We needed to the assistance for the Kimya Nenua Bekol. We needed that assistance from Moshe Rabbeinu and the latter mitzvahs, everything above, the other 603 mitzvahs if you're keeping score, that we heard exclusively from Moshe Rabbeinu. There was a nevuah Moshe and Moshe Rabbeinu came and Moshe Rabbeinu communicated all those other mitzvahs to us. So again, assuming that whatever we heard from Hakadosh Baruch Hu reigns in terms of importance, Anochi we heard from Hakadosh Baruch Hu on a greater level than the other eight dibros. That's why Bach Kuk from Midan Halachas, right? The Torah says in the end of Maseches Makos, 613 mitzvos. And then there were times in history where the Nevi'im diluted it a little bit, whatever that means. And really it went from 613 to a low number, then it was six, then it was three. And eventually the Navi Habakkuk came and he said, "You want to take the whole Torah and mamash put it into one mitzvah? Fitsadik be'emunaso yichyeh." That's the mitzvah we heard from Hakadosh Baruch Hu. Anochi is the essay version of it, and Lo Yihiyeh Lecha is the Lo Yisa essay version of it. Bediyuk. But the bottom line is, the bottom line is three darkos. The first two we heard 100% from Hakadosh Baruch Hu. The next eight of the aseres hadibros Hakadosh Baruch Hu said, but Moshe Rabbeinu explained. And then the last 603 came directly from Moshe Rabbeinu.
