**כִּי שָׁמְעוּ.** כְּשֶׁשָּׁמְעוּ אִמְרֵי פִיךָ ״לֹא תִרְצַח לֹא תִנְאָף״ (שמות כ:יג), הוֹדוּ עַל אִמְרֵי פִיךָ עַל ״אָנֹכִי״ וְ״לֹא יִהְיֶה לְךָ״ (שמות כ:ב-ג). כְּדַי הוּא לְהַקְבִּילָם עֹל מַלְכוּתוֹ עֲלֵיהֶם תְּחִלָּה, וְאַחַר כָּךְ יִגְזֹר כָּל גְּזֵרוֹתָיו (קידושין לא.):

**for they heard** When they heard the words of Your mouth: “You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery,” they acknowledged the words of Your mouth: “I am [the Lord your God]” and “You shall have no [other god].” It is proper to make them first accept the yoke of His kingdom, and then He should levy all His decrees.
