be like Hashem, Who is completely holy, when we are a mixture of the
holy and the mundane.

This question can be resolved in the words preceding Matan Torah,
“Hashem descended upon Har Sinai.” Hashem brought His Presence
down to the mountain to prove to everyone that Torah is no longer
in Heaven. We have the Torah with us; whoever wishes, may partake
of it. Each person is required to utilize the tools at his disposal in
order to advance in spiritual matters, not dodging his duty with all
types of excuses.

Hashem’s descent upon the mountain enables us to emulate His middot.
Furthermore, when Hashem proclaimed, “I am Hashem,” the neshamot of
the nation departed and cleaved to Hashem. This, too, injected us with the
ability to cling to His middot.

The letters of the word (but you) can be transposed to spell the word
(and truth). One who clings to the truth of Torah fulfills the verse,
“But you who cling to Hashem, your G-d,” and merits the promise of
“You are all alive today.” He will merit life in this world as well as in the
World to Come.
The angels wanted to burn Moshe with the steam of their mouths. Hashem
told Moshe to grasp His Holy Throne and respond to them. He was not
afraid to do this. He understood that whoever holds on to the Holy Throne,
the symbol of Torah, merits the Torah’s protection from all harm. # 26347-EYAL-6
