Chasidut sobre Exodo 20:16
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה דַּבֵּר־אַתָּ֥ה עִמָּ֖נוּ וְנִשְׁמָ֑עָה וְאַל־יְדַבֵּ֥ר עִמָּ֛נוּ אֱלֹהִ֖ים פֶּן־נָמֽוּת׃
Y Moisés respondió al pueblo: No temáis; que por probaros vino Dios, y porque su temor esté en vuestra presencia para que no pequéis.
Kedushat Levi
Exodus 20,17. “for G’d has come only in order to test you.” Moses refers to the reason why G’d decided to address the first two Commandments to the people directly, not using him as His intermediary. He intended to deeply engrave on the people’s hearts and consciousness he fact that even the most humble of them had heard these words directly from the mouth of G’d so that should the occasion arise each one of them would find it easier to offer his life for the sanctification of G’d’s name. Having undergone the experience they had at Mount Sinai, would make it easier for them to stand up to future tests.
