The law of making a parapet applies even when you buy a house that you didn't build, and to an old house as well. In parshat Ki Teitzei, a basic law is derived from the juxtaposition of words in the Torah, as in our sages’ interpretation of the words, “she leaves…and becomes,”4 linking the woman’s marriage to another man with her divorce from her former husband.5 5 ‫בס"ד‬ Thus, very basic laws are derived from the juxtaposition of sections. Prohibitions against idolatry, adultery, and murder, which are major doctrines, appear beside prohibitions such as “Do not covet”7 and “Do not take the Name of G-d…in vain,”8 which, as serious 6 ‫בס"ד‬ as they are, are not often thought of as equal in severity to the former prohibitions. 8 ‫בס"ד‬ On the one hand, we “do not take the mother along with her young,”13 and “do not muzzle an ox when it is treading grain,”14 where the Torah spares no detail in its concern for preventing the suffering of the ox; yet at the end of the parshah, after the command, “Fathers shall not be put to death because of sons, and sons shall not be put to death because of fathers,”15 we are commanded to obliterate the entire people of Amalek. Although Rashi does not comment on these specific words, the Rebbe offers an interpretation on Rashi’s comment on earlier words in the verse, from 13 ‫בס"ד‬ which it emerges that without saying so explicitly, Rashi actually offers a highly satisfactory answer to our problem. But when describing a matter of difference that needs to be adjudicated in court, the Torah uses the term davar - “dispute” or “matter.” In describing the squabble between the shepherds of Abraham and Lot, 5 as well as the one that arose between the shepherds of Gerar and those of Isaac, 6 the Torah us
