פרשת יתרו
Parshas Yisro
אנכי ה’ אלקיך אשר הוצאתיך מארץ מצרים מבית עבדים (יתרו כ:ב)
I am Hashem, your G-d, Who has taken you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery- The ten commandments – עשרת הדברות were carved out on שני לוחות הברית – two tablets.
- 1. The עשרת הדברות were carved through the stone ‘luchos’ from one side to the other, through and through. It was a miracle that the inner pieces of the letters “ס” and “ם” didn’t fall out. They just stayed standing in the air.
2. The ‘luchos’ is one of the ten things that Hashem created on Friday בין השמשות – right before Shabbos.
3. The ‘luchos’ was made of blue sapphire stone – a very expensive stone. Moshe Rabbeinu became rich from its dust.
4. The ‘luchos’ weighed approximately 1,000 to 1,500 pounds, and Moshe Rabbeinu hauled it up the mountain.
