1) Ch. 7, v. 12: "V'hoyoh eikev tish'm'un ushmartem vaasisem" And it will be as a result of your hearkening and you will safeguard and you will do All of these requirements are expressed in the plural form. Yet, when it comes to Hashem's response we find it expressed in the singular form, "v'shomar, vaa'heivcho, uveirach'cho."
2) Ch. 8, v. 10: "V'ochalto v'sovoto u'veirachto" And you will eat and become satiated and you shall bless The gemara Brochos 20 says that he who has his wife or son recite the grace after meals to be "motzi" him has fulfilled the mitzvoh, but a curse of hunger will come upon him. Why is this so?
3) Ch. 9, v. 17: "Vo'espose bishnei haluchos vo'ashlicheim mei'al shtei yodoy vo'ashabreim l'eineichem" And I gripped the two Tablets and I threw them from upon my two hands and I smashed them in front of your eyes When Moshe was still in the heavens Hashem had already told him, "Lech reid ki shicheis amcho" (Shmos 32:7). If so, why did he bring the Tablets down with him, knowing full well that he would smash them? Why not just leave them in the heavens? If he would reconcile the bnei Yisroel with Hashem he could bring them down afterwards.
4) Ch. 10, v. 2: "V'samtom bo'orone" And place them into the ark Isn't it obvious that their place would be inside the "orone hakodesh?"
5) Ch. 11, v. 17: "V'choroh af Hashem bochem" And Hashem's anger will burn in you How can we take these words as a message of hope?
