Ma'amad Har Sinai in Shemot and Devarim
Introduction
Hashem's revelation at Sinai is described at length in Shemot 19-20 and then recounted by Moshe to the nation in Devarim 4-5.1 Moshe's speech actually comprises two distinct retellings of the episode. In Chapter 4, he speaks of the overall experience in a general fashion, interspersing exhortatory messages throughout, while in Chapter 5 he focuses on the giving of the Decalogue and the people's reaction to it.2 On the whole, Moshe's account is consistent with the original, though he omits certain details and adds or emphasizes others. These slight variations (together with Moshe's explicit commentary) shed light on the specific messages Moshe wished to impart to the nation before he died.
Points of Contrast
The differences between the accounts are summarized below:
- Goal of revelation – In Shemot, Hashem tells Moshe that through the episode the nation will come to believe in Moshe ("וְגַם בְּךָ יַאֲמִינוּ לְעוֹלָם"), while in Devarim, Moshe says that the people will learn to fear Hashem ("אֲשֶׁר יִלְמְדוּן לְיִרְאָה אֹתִי").
- Emphasis on not seeing Hashem – In Devarim there is a repeated emphasis on the fact that the nation only heard Hashem's voice at Sinai,3 but never saw a Divine form.4 This point is not highlighted in Shemot.
- Uniqueness of the episode – Only in Moshe's retelling is there mention of the uniqueness of the experience, and how no other nation but Israel merited Hashem to reveal Himself to them.
- Personal or mediated encounter – Various verses in Shemot 19 imply that Moshe played some type of mediating role during Hashem's revelation.5 In contrast, verses throughout Devarim 4 highlight how the people heard Hashem's voice itself, suggesting that revelation was a direct, "face to face" encounter (Devarim 5:4). Devarim 5:5, however, appears to corroborate the verses in Shemot, implying that the people only heard Hashem's word via Moshe ("אָנֹכִי עֹמֵד בֵּין י"י וּבֵינֵיכֶם בָּעֵת הַהִוא לְהַגִּיד לָכֶם אֶת דְּבַר י"י").
- Moshe's location – In Shemot, there is a clear distinction between the physical location of Moshe and the rest of the nation during revelation. While Moshe is told to ascend the mountain, they are told to stay put. Devarim says nothing regarding the positioning of each group.
- Natural phenomena – Both accounts describe how Hashem's revelation was accompanied by various natural phenomena, but while Shemot highlights the thunder, lightening, shofar blasts and smoke, Devarim emphasizes the fiery mountainside.6
- The nation's fear – Though both books mention the people's fear, they differ regarding several points. While Sefer Shemot presents the "nation" approaching Moshe, Devarim refers to the "heads of the tribes and elders". Shemot mentions the episode only after the giving of the Decalogue, while in Devarim Moshe alludes to it also beforehand. Finally, only in Devarim do the people express a fear of being devoured specifically by the fire engulfing Mt. Sinai.
- Preparation and Warnings – Only in Shemot are there warnings about not approaching the mountain and directives regarding the proper preparation for Hashem's revelation.
Analysis
As the people stand on the eve of their entry into the land, Moshe has two fundamental concerns regarding the nation. He fears that with foreign influences, they will stop believing in Hashem and turn to other gods, and moreover, that even if they retain belief, they will question the authority of the laws transmitted via Moshe. To address these issues, Moshe prefaces his legal speech by recounting the events at Sinai, presenting them as the basis for both belief and observance. This objective can explain some of the unique features of Moshe's retelling of the episode in Devarim 4-5:
- Emphasis on hearing but not seeing Hashem – As Moshe is concerned that the nation will turn to idolatry, in his recounting of the episode he emphasizes not only how the people heard Hashem (a reason to believe) but also that they saw no Divine form (lest they mistakenly create images, even for the purpose of serving God.)7
- Uniqueness of the encounter – Moshe highlights how no other nation heard the voice of God, so that the people should recognize that He is the only true God. Through the unique experience they should recognize the uniqueness of Hashem, as Moshe says: "אַתָּה הׇרְאֵתָ לָדַעַת כִּי י"י הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים".
- Moshe vs. Hashem – Shemot highlights the role played by Moshe during revelation, suggesting that one of its goals was to instill belief in him as a leader. Thus, Hashem tells him that through the episode the nation will come to believe in him ("וְגַם בְּךָ יַאֲמִינוּ לְעוֹלָם"). His position on the mountain, away from the people, highlights his distinct status, and several verses imply that Moshe played some type of mediating role during the experience. Devarim, in contrast, adds a second goal – belief in Hashem ("אֲשֶׁר יִלְמְדוּן לְיִרְאָה אֹתִי"). Moshe highlights how the people heard the Decalogue directly from Hashem, referring to it as a "face to face" encounter (Devarim 5:4), and he makes no mention of his unique location on the mountain. However, he does not ignore his own role even saying, ""
- Fear
