Description

This principle has a particular relevance to Parshat Teruma. According to Rashi, Moshe broke the Luchos on the 17th of Tammuz, achieved atonement for the People on the 10th of Tishrei, & on the next day received the command re: the building of the Mishkan. Hence the discrepancy between the chronological sequence of events & the order in which they appear in the Torah. The rational mind seeks to understand why Hashem deliberately placed the Parsha of the חטא העגל after two parshi'ot regarding the Mishkan, Teruma & Tetzaveh. We will study the insight of R' Yehoshua Heller to explain the order of the Torah. The Ramban typically rejects the application of this principle in our understanding of the Torah, but he cannot deny the principle itself.
