Reply To: Milchig Meal on Shavuos

laskern, Moshe Rabbeinu’s reply of יצר הרע יש ביניכם to the malochim’s complaint of תנה הודך על השמים, only one of multiple “proofs” that Moshe replied as evidence that the Torah belongs to Bnei Yisroel and not malochim.

In Shabbos 88b Moshe gave a list of replies including positive attributes of Bnei Yisroel:
למצרים ירדתם לפרעה השתעבדתם תורה למה תהא לכם
בין עמים אתם שרויין שעובדין עבודת גלולים
אתם עושים מלאכה שאתם צריכין שבות
משא ומתן יש ביניכם
אב ואם יש לכם

Only ONE of them were related to having a yeter hara:
קנאה יש ביניכם יצר הרע יש ביניכם

So why would you give full credit to the yeter harah by stating: ” if not for the yetzer hora, the Torah would have never been given to us but to the malochim”???

In other words, even if there wouldn’t be a yeter hara – as l’osid lovo when “es ruach hatumah avir min ha’aretz”, the other replies uphold the right of Bnei Yisroel to receive the Torah.
