This
week we have the Mitzvah of Tefillin twice in the Parsha. There is a Ramban in
his introduction to Devarim who Klers (wonders) if the many Mitzvos that were
said in Devarim were first told to Klal Yisrael at the end of the 40 years when
the Chumash of Devarim takes place or did Moshe Rabbeinu tell it to them
earlier and it was only recorded here.
The Ramban leans towards saying that these
things were told at this point when Klal Yisrael was at the end of the 40
years. This seems to be a problem. Klal Yisrael was obligated in the Mitzvah of
Tefillin in this week’s Parsha 40 years earlier. As you know, Tefillin contain
within them the Parshios of Shema - V’ohavta and V’hoyo Im Shemoa which are in
Parshas Va’eschanan and Parshas Eikev. Yet they were not even said until
Parshas Va’eschanan and Parshas Eikev. How can the Ramban say that those
Parshios were not said until after the 40 years? How else could Klal Yisrael be
wearing Tefillin all this time?
