[Avodah] Luchos

[hankman]

The point you (RLT) make in your previous response is precisely the point
RYH builds his
thesis upon. The parallelism that exists between dibros 1-5 and dibros 6-10,
the first set of 5 in a context of bein odom lamokom and the last 5 in the
context of bein odomo lachaveiro, thus the two sets of five compomise the
five underlying themes of torah as he describes more fully in his book. Thus
as you describe, the common underlying theme in dibros 1 and 6 (in the
contexts of lamokom and lachaveiro),  dibros 2 and 7 etc form the 5 basic
underlying logical themes for the structure of  Torah and perhaps some of
the glue that puts one paarsha next to another etc.

R'n Toby Katz wrote (as quoted by R' Chaim Manaster):

"I don't know "who" says it but it is commonly said that the first five are
bein adam laMokom and the second five are bein adam lachaveiro, strongly
suggesting a parallel structure that wouldn't be obvious if, say, four
dibros  were actually written on one luach and six on the other."

in response to which RCM cites a parallelism between the n-th dibrah in each
of the respective luchos with each other and with the n-th sefer in Chumash.
