| + | <li>See <a href="Decalogue Differences Between Shemot and Devarim" data-aht="page">Decalogue Differences Between Shemot and Devarim</a> for several approaches to the differences as discussed by commentators throughout the ages. Several medieval commentators assert that the discrepancies are insignificant and simply a natural outcome of Moshe's paraphrasing of Hashem's words, in which only the general meaning need be preserved. In contrast, many modern exegetes suggest that the Devarim rendition of the commandments constituted an intentional updating of the original Shemot version, as it was addressed to a different audience and set of circumstances. Midrashic sources posit a third approach, that the two Decalogues were both given simultaneously in the first year, and that both have legal relevance for all generations.</li> | ||
| + | <li>See <a href="https://etzion.org.il/en/tanakh/torah/sefer-devarim/parashat-vaetchanan/differences-between-first-and-second-appearances-ten">Differences Between the First and Second Appearances of the Ten Commandments</a>, by R. Mordechai Sabato, for analysis of many of the differences in the two accounts and exploration of the significance of each. He suggests that in many cases, the focus of Sefer Devarim moves from the object under discussion to man's obligation in relation to that object. For example, in Shemot the commandment regarding Shabbat focuses on the actual sanctity of Shabbat (resulting from Hashem's ceasing from creation), while in Devarim it focuses on why the people of Israel specifically must sanctify Shabbat.</li> | ||

Yoel Bin-Nun, for analysis of the different themes of Shabbat in the two versions of the Decalogue. Shemot emphasizes the cosmic religious significance of Shabbat, whereas Devarim focuses on its social message.  The Sages teach that these distinct values are in fact two sides of one coin.  See also R. Bin-Nun’s “<a href="https://www.hatanakh.com/sites/default/files/imported/mega9_ybn.pdf">זכור ושמור בדיבור אחד נאמרו</a>”, which analyzes the messages of Shabbat imparted by the various sections of Shemot that discuss this mitzvah, and how the perspective emphasized by Parashat Va'etchanan has roots in Sefer Shemot but also includes new ideas.</li> | ||
