At the lowermost (tachatit) part of the mount: Literally under (tachat) the mount.

Tub: A vat in which we put ale.

A substantial caveat: As if they are called to judgment [as to] why you (the Jews) did not fulfil what you have accepted upon yourselves, they have an answer: They accepted it under duress.

In the time of Ahasuerus: From love of the miracle that was done for them.

The sixth day: What is different, that it is written, "the," with the day of finishing the creation story?

It teaches that He established a condition, etc.: The sixth implies the sixth specified in another place. It is like we say in general, "the thigh" (Genesis 32:33) is [referring to] the most important thigh. Here too, "And there was evening and there was morning" (Genesis 1:31) of the end of creation, was dependent on the sixth day; and that is the sixth of Sivan upon which the Torah was given. This is also expounded from the inclusion of the [letter,] hey (the definite article, the).

"And Moshe would take": That ornament. A different thing (another explanation) - "the tent" (ohel) is an expression [related to], "When His lamp shone (hilo)" (Job 29:3). And that was the shining of the skin of his face.

"That fulfill His word, hearkening": They are prepared to do [it] before they hear [it]; and not like other servants that first hear the thing to know if they are able to accept it upon themselves or not.

Its fruit grows before its leaves: This is its way; and it is different from other trees - the blossoming of their fruit is before their leaves.

His fingers: The fingers of his hands.

He was squeezing them: He was crushing them with his legs, but he did not comprehend [it] due to [his mental] exertion.

Impulsive nation: Hurried.

Who accorded precedence to your mouths over your ears: Before you heard it - how difficult it is, and if you would be able to withstand it - you took it upon yourselves to accept it.
