Why did Moshe repeat the words of Torah specifically in Arvot Moav
( )? The word implies two opposite meanings. On the
one hand, it refers to (mutual responsibility), yet, on the
other hand, it contains the same letters as the word (sins). As long
as Bnei Yisrael have mutual accountability toward each other, their unity
has the power to protect them from sin. But if they are disconnected, they
will become weak in Torah, as well.

Bnei Yisrael sinned in Arvot Moav with the daughters of Moav. This was
because they had become negligent in Torah, for they were not bound
sufficiently with each other.

The way to protect oneself in Torah and mitzvot is by protecting one’s
eyes. The eye sees, the heart desires, and the body commits the sin. One
who shields his eyes from inappropriate sights merits siyata di’Shemaya
against stumbling in sin.

“Hashem, our G-d, spoke to us in Chorev,
saying: Enough of your dwelling by this

mountain”
(Devarim 1:6)
