Last Week's Question
Q. Aside from the famous SHAMOR substitution for ZACHOR in the Va'etchanan version of the 10 Commandments, in contrast to  Yitro's, what letter is added several times in this second version of the Big Ten, to what word? (and how many of them?)
And what phrase is added twice?
A. There are 5 (at least) VAVs added to the word LO (as in Thou
shalt not).
And "as G-d has commanded you" appears in commandments 4
and 5 (and not in the Yitro version)
