ולפעמים הפך הסדר לפי הסבות ומסובביהם.

Ayelet Hashachar, translated by Betzalel Avraham Feinstein, 2021

Sometimes the order is reversed according to the causes and their effects:

כמו "לא תגנבו" שעל ידי כך "לא תכחשו" ועל ידי כך "לא תשקרו". (קדושים ס' ח, קדושים ס' כו. בחקותי ס' יח)

Ayelet Hashachar, translated by Betzalel Avraham Feinstein, 2021

As לא תגנבו (You shall not steal), and by that לא תכחשו (neither shall you deal falsely), and by that לא תשקרו (nor lie one to another)⁴⁶³.

Leviticus 19:11 says,לא תגנבו ולא תכחשו ולא תשקרו איש בעמיתו(You shall not steal; neither shall you deal falsely, nor lie one to another). The order is this way because if one steals, in the end he will deny it, and if he denies it, in the end he will lie⁴⁶⁴.
