Summary by Channie Koplowitz Stein
Parshat Mishpatim begins with the verse, “Ve’eilah… And these are the ordinances you shall place before them,” and continues with all sorts of torts and laws about monetary obligations. Rashi immediately explains that the letter vov/and at the beginning of the word always connects the ideas that follow with the preceding ideas. Therefore, just as the preceding laws were given at Sinai, so too do these laws come directly from God at Sinai.
