Rabausai,<br>

It is well known that one way to analyze the 10 dibrot is that they consist of<br>
5 bein adam laMaqom and 5 bein adam le'havero. While I did find the division<br>
of the dibrot into 5+5 in massekhet Sheqalim daf khaf vav (IIRC) and in the<br>
Yalqut Shim'oni parsaht Terumah §368, they do not mention the BAL'H vs. BALM<br>
distinction. The earliest source I found so far is the Ramban on lo tirtza'h<br>
in the dibrot of Parshat Yitro (passuq 13).<br>
<br>
Does anyone know of an earlier source than the Ramban for this analysis?<br>
