R. David Kasher on Parashat Yitro: The Trouble With Desire
from Ta Shma · host Hadar Institute
The last of the Ten Commandments is distinct from the rest in several ways. Structurally, it is in the second five, but it stands out from the others. After the clipped language of six through nine, all fitting into one verse (“do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness against your neighbor”), this last one suddenly takes up a whole verse to itself - and a very strange construction at that.
