Поисковые термины: шаббат, законы шаббата, melacha, hilchot shabbat, שבת, הלכות שבת, מלאכה, недельная глава, парша, parsha, פרשה, פרשת השבוע. To this principle, the vav ha’chibur (connecting vav with which the parsha begins - ‫ הַּמִׁשְּפָטִים‬,‫ וְאֵּלֶה‬- and these are the laws that you shall set before them) connects the ‫ּמִׁשְּפָטִים‬, the laws that are to establish the upbuilding of Jewish society on the basis of justice and humanity. Whereas Parshas Yisro delineates the astonishing, awe-inspiring and impactful method by which the Torah was given - thunder, lightning, the continuous blast of the shofar growing ever stronger, the mountain itself was shaking, the people in the camp were shaking, the mountain was smoking, the thick Cloud of G-d’s Presence was visible (keviyachol) atop the mountain, the voice of G-d going forth to announce the dibros to the nation, the entire nation healed of vision and hearing ailments (Shemos 19), the mount of Sinai burning with re till the heart of heaven (Devarim 4:11) - the parsha of Mishpatim (Shemos 21, 22, 23) seems to be the exact opposite of the Matan Torah experience.

Hence, ‫ ּבְתֹוכָם‬,‫ מְִקּדָׁש; וְׁשָכַנְּתִי‬,‫וְעָׂשּו לִי‬, and they shall make for Me a sanctuary, and I shall dwell amongst them (Shemos 25:8), can only follow the parshios of Matan Torah - Yisro and Mishpatim combined - which instruct us how to create a society where G-d desires to dwell (keviyachol). Chazal teach (Kedushin 20a): ‫ ״ּכִי טֹוב לֹו עִּמְָ״ – עִּמְָ ּבַּמַאֲכָל וְעִּמְָ ּבַּמִׁשְּתֶה‬:‫ּדְתַנְיָא‬ It was taught in a Baraisa
