P. 423
The words “until this day” are difficult to understand. Did Bnei Yisrael
not recognize Hashem’s abundant kindnesses with them until now? This
was the day that Bnei Yisrael complained to Moshe that he had bestowed
the Torah only upon his own tribe. This proved to him their desire to
adhere to Hashem. For this, he complimented them with these words.
Was Moshe unaware of Bnei Yisrael’s desire to connect to Hashem before
this incident? Moreover, why did he grant the Torah only to his own
tribesmen, Shevet Levi?
Moshe gave the Torah at first only to Shevet Levi, in order to test the
rest of Bnei Yisrael. Did they really desire to receive the Torah? Bnei
Yisrael protested, “We, too, stood at Har Sinai,” even though only their
neshamot were present. They keenly felt as though they were physically
at Matan Torah.
