few observations related to the Aseres
Hadibros. Number one, so in Loshon
Kodesh it's known as Aseres Hadibros. In
English it's known as the Ten
Commandments.
The truth is we mentioned this once in a
Red By.
It's not ten mitzvahs, Aseres Hadibros.
Mitzrayim
it's a big Rishonim whether that's a
mitzvah. The Ramban right in the
beginning of Aseres Hadibros says it's a
mitzvah as I say. There's a mitzvah as I
say to believe. But a lot of Rishonim
are not minded as a mitzvah as I say.
And the reason is you can't command me
to believe in something. If I believe in
it, so now you can tell me, "Okay, I
believe. I'm in." So now you'll command
me what I need to do as a result of the
fact that I'm in. But you're going to
command me to believe it almost doesn't
make sense. So
the first of the Dibros is not even a
commandment according to many Rishonim.
The second of the Dibros of Avodah Zarah
has multiple commandments. Lo Yihyeh is
a commandment. Lo Sa'aseh is a
commandment. Lo Sishtachaveh is a
commandment. Lo Sa'avdem is a
commandment. Right? There's a lot of
mitzvahs. Go through the Rambam and see
if mitzvahs he's minus several mitzvahs
in the second commandment. Right? So is
it a Is it a commandment? Shabbos.
Zachor es Yom haShabbos l'kadshecho is a
mitzvah as I say.
Is a Lo Sa'aseh. So really we refer to
it as the Ten Dibros, not the way it's
known in the secular world as the Ten
Commandments. Really Aseres Hadibros is
a more accurate
way of describing it because it's not
Ten Commandments. It's a lot more than
Ten Commandments. Now where does the
word Dibros come from? It's Parshas
Va'Yedaber Elokim es kol haDvarim
ha'eileh leimor. That's where those
words
come from. Right? Dibros. Dibros which I
guess yeah. The pasuk doesn't say
Va'Yedaber Elokim es kol haMitzvos
ha'eileh leimor. It says it's kol
haDvarim ha'eileh leimor. And we're
using the loshon of the Torah which is
Dvarim, Dibros. And as a result it goes
down as Aseres Hadibros. But the Ten
Commandments, that loshon is a little
bit of a misnomer.
