אַתֶּ֨ם נִצָּבִ֤ים הַיּוֹם֙ כֻּלְּכֶ֔ם לִפְנֵ֖י יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֑ם רָאשֵׁיכֶ֣ם שִׁבְטֵיכֶ֗ם זִקְנֵיכֶם֙ וְשֹׁ֣טְרֵיכֶ֔ם כֹּ֖ל אִ֥ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
State oggi in piedi tutti davanti al Signore vostro Dio: i vostri capi, le vostre tribù, i vostri anziani e i vostri ufficiali, perfino tutti gli uomini d'Israele,

And, in truth, how great is this mitzvah in the eyes of the Blessed L-rd, it being written (Michah 6:8): "He has told you, O man, what is good, and what the L-rd requires of you — but to do justice and to love chesed, etc." And Chazal have said (Succah 49b): "'to do justice' — this is din; 'and to love chesed' — this is gemiluth chasadim." And he also fulfills in this the mitzvah of (Devarim 29:9): "And you shall walk in His ways," as we find in Sifrei on the verse (Ibid. 10:12): "'to walk in all His ways' — these are the ways of the Holy One Blessed be He, as it is written (Shemoth 34:6): 'Hashem, Hashem, the G-d who is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in chesed, etc.'" And Chazal say (Bava Metzia 30b): "R. Yosef taught (Shemoth 18:20): 'And you shall apprise them of the way' — this is gemiluth chasadim."

אתם ראיתם את אשר עשיתי למצרים. According to tradition the word אתם occurs four times at the beginning of a verse. The three other instances are 1) (Exodus 5,11): אתם לכו קחו לכם תבן מאשר תמצאו, "You, go and take yourselves straw from wherever you can find it;" 2) (Deut.29,9): אתם נצבים היום כולכם לפני ה' אלוקיכם; "You are all standing upright in front of the Lord your G–d this day." 3) (Isaiah 43,10): אתם עדי נאום ה' ועבדי אשר בחרתי למען תדעו ותאמינו לי ותבינו כי אני הוא, לפני לא נוצר אל ואחרי לא יהיה. "My witnesses are you, -declares the Lord- My servant whom I have chosen. In order that you may believe in Me, and understand that I am He; before Me no god was formed, and after me none shall exist."
