פרשת דברים תש"כ - נאומו של משה + הפטרה

Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.’

Your new moons and your appointed seasons My soul hateth; They are a burden unto Me; I am weary to bear them.

Thy silver is become dross, Thy wine mixed with water.

"Hear, heavens, and listen, earth." Moshe said, "Listen, heavens, and hear, earth" (Devarim 32). Why did Isaiah change the phrase? Our rabbis discussed this matter and there are many midrashim in the parsha of Haazinu [where Moshe's original phrase appeared] in Sifri. But the chachamim disagreed with them and said that the true explanation is otherwise: when witnesses come and testify, and their testimonies match, the testimonies are valid, but if the testimonies do not match they are not valid. If Isaiah had not come and given [the language of] "hearing" to the heavens and "listening" to the earth, the heavens would have testified that when they were called on to witness in the days of Moshe, who said "I have called on you to witness today," they were called to perform "listening." But the earth would have testified, "I was called to perform 'hearing,'" and their testimonies would not have matched. Isaiah came and switched the phrases, so both the heavens and the earth could testify regarding "listening" and "hearing."
