- From Seeing in Yithro to Hearing in Mishpatim: בריץ במצע אזן ששמעה – רואין הקולות- ויקרא באזניהם- נעשה ונשמ"ע - -- The Simhat Toah element, starting anew; Dynamic nature of נעשה ונשמע embedded in the backward structure accoirding to Rashi; (MY) משפטים adds a completely new dimension to קבלת התורה: the dimension of אזן as opposed to יתרו’s עין! The stress that leads us from the beginning of the פרשה, from the ריציעת אזן and לא אצא חפשי – all the way to the קריאה באזניהם—to being able to say נשמע for the first time only here in משפטים – is the development of the nature of ברית.The fact we find the מחלקת במכילתא that runs through גמרא שבת ויומא and ראשונים (with רמב"ן ואבן עזרא on one side and רש"י on the other) – that completely redefines the nature of משפטים – to the point that it defines whether משפטים is preמתן תורה- introduction, which allows נדב ואביהו to be in violation of ויחזו את האלקי"ם– to postמתן תורה , as רמב"ן learns, description of the addition of קריאה בספר הברית, implies that there is a fundamental interrelationship between the beginning and after – as is expressed in דינים in יתרו as well! As חז"ל tell us it needs to be sandwiched in דינים to show that the nature of ברית קבלת התורה involves arguments! And the essence in the nature of קבלת התורה is that ברית must be open-ended to encourage the argument of what happens when paradigms are breaking down – or at least if you expect that it is breaking down, that is מחייב you not to be בוצע but rather משפט לאלקי"ם היא vs. and elements in which your paradigm still works in which case you can still be בוצע . The unwillingness for יקב הדין את ההר leads directly to חטא העגל and a desire to compromise which came directly from the compromise that אהרן הכהן allowed –in which case the real בוצע ברך ניעץ הש"ם is המברך את אהרן על בציעתו – that comes directly from the breakdown of אזן which is אזני נשיכם.The forcing of something into paradigm external to it and will not contain it is the initial מרגלים אתם that יוסף הצדיק tells his brothers and is the fundamental חסרון in the current level of ברית in כלל ישראל. The constant desire to use the ברית to define a religiosity that does not allow you to question the ברית thus turning the ראיה into something solipsistic instead of something that exists outside on הר סיני, which doesn’t allow future שמיעה and therefore destroys the initial עמידה בהר סיני and thus turns everyone into מרגלים! And this happens again and again, people say לא אצא and in saying לא אצא they lose their ears which brings them to the עגל again – and that the אזן that is לוקה, as גמרא says, is that אזן ששמעה לא יהיה לך אלקי"ם אחרים – not just אשר הוצאתיך.
