רב לכם שבת. כִּפְשׁוּטוֹ; וְיֵשׁ מִ"אַ, הִרְבָּה לָכֶם גְדֻלָּה וְשָׂכָר עַל יְשִׁיבַתְכֶם בָּהָר הַזֶּה – עֲשִׂיתֶם מִשְׁכָּן, מְנוֹרָה, וְכֵלִים, קִבַּלְתֶּם תּוֹרָה, מִנִּיתֶם לָכֶם סַנְהֶדְרִין, שָׂרֵי אֲלָפִים וְשָׂרֵי מֵאוֹת (ע' ספרי): רב לכם שבת — Explain this according to its plain sense: YE HAVE DWELT LONG ENOUGH [IN THIS MOUNT]. — But there is an Agadic explanation: He has given you much distinction and reward for your having dwelt in this mount: you made the Tabernacle, the candlestick and the other sacred articles, you received the Torah, you appointed a Sanhedrin for yourselves, captains over thousands and captains over hundreds (cf. Sifrei Devarim 5:2).
