אשר בחר בנו והערב נא ברכות התורה

For you are a people consecrated to your God יקוק: of all the peoples on earth your God יקוק chose you to be God’s treasured people. It is not because you are the most numerous of peoples that יקוק grew attached to you and chose you—indeed, you are the smallest of peoples; but it was because יקוק favored you and kept the oath made to your fathers that יקוק freed you with a mighty hand and rescued you from the house of bondage, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Rabbi Yoḥanan himself said that the word anokhi that begins the Ten Commandments is an abbreviation for: I myself wrote and gave [ana nafshi ketivat yehavit]. The Rabbis said it is an abbreviation for: A pleasant statement was written and given [amira ne’ima ketiva yehiva]. Some say the word anokhi can be interpreted backwards: It was written, it was given, its statements are faithful [yehiva ketiva ne’emanim amareha].

Your God יקוק commands you this day to observe these laws and rules; observe them faithfully with all your heart and soul.

היום הזה ה׳ אלקיך מצוך THIS DAY THE LORD THY GOD COMMANDETH THEE — This suggests: each day they (God’s commandments) should be to you as something new (not antiquated and something of which you have become tired), as though you had received the commands that very day for the first time (Midrash Tanchuma, Ki Tavo 1; cf. Rashi on Deuteronomy 11:13).

(22) Be mindful of the Teaching of My servant Moses, whom I charged at Horeb with laws and rules for all Israel.

“And these are the generations of Yitzchak, son of Avraham. Avraham begot Yitzchak.” (Bereshit, 25:19)
It is written (Divrei haYamim 1, 28:9), “If you seek it, you will find.” The seeking is Avraham Avinu, and the finding is Yitzchak. The main point of Avraham Avinu was that he always had a great yearning for Torah, and a great desire to make the reign of God known in the world. This is the attribute of love. The attribute of Yitzchak is that of Gevurah (strength, severity), when this became clear and the revelation of God descended into the world. This is called Gevurah, as it is written (Megillah, 31b), “thus Moshe heard from the mouth of Gevurah,” and Yitzchak is also called the Gevurah of God in the world.
This goes according to the verse, “and these are the generations of Yitzchak, son of Avraham …,” which means that the generations, or results of Yitzchak Avinu, are the proclamation of the revelation of God in this world. Thereby, “Avraham begot Yitzchak,” for this came about by means of Avraham’s yearning, for yearning is the attribute of Avraham, and so it is that all true words of Torah are born into the world only after the great desire of those who long for them.
This also concerns what is said in the Gemara (Baba Metsia, 44a), “In his younger days Rabbi Yehuda haNasi taught his son, ‘silver buys gold,’ and in his old age, ‘gold buys silver.’” In a man’s youth he has great desire and yearning for words of Torah, and by means of this, he is “buying gold,” which means acquiring words of Torah in their true form that are called gold, by means of silver (Kesef), which is desire and yearning (Kesifa). Yet, in his old age a man must ask that his desire for words of Torah not be taken from him, for in old age the powers of desire weaken. Therefore he taught that “gold buys silver.” The silver is the prayer that he offers to God, that by means of the very words of Torah the desire may come to him for an increase in more words of Torah. This may be compared to a man who is satisfied from eating, and nonetheless, if more good food were placed before him it would draw his appetite to eat further.
So it is with words of Torah. This is as we pray each day in the blessing over the Torah, “and may God make words of Torah desirable in our mouths,” that is, may words of Torah become sweetened in such a way that we always have a greater and greater desire for them. This is the meaning of the verse (Yoel, 2:26), “and you shall eat food and be satisfied.” The doubling of the language teaches of this, for by means of the very eating there will come greater desire. This is all an allegory for words of Torah, as explained above.
