What is interesting when the goyim ask what is written in the Torah, Hashem tells them exactly what they don’t like, Esav don’t kill, Yishmoel, don’t commit adultery and so on? Maybe we can explain this with a mashel, parable from the Dubner Maggid on the rasha in the Hagadah. A man only had enough money for yom tov needs. He sees on the street a nice suit being sold. He likes it so much that he spends his money on it. His wife gets upset that he spent his money of yom tov and tells him to take it back. He tells the dealer to give him back the money as there is a fault in it. He gives him back the money without any question. The customers around are surprised why he did not offer him an exchange. He explains that I happen to understand that this customer regrets the purchase and the fault found is just an excuse to get the money returned. Similarly over here, the goyim want an excuse not to accept the Torah by finding a fault, so Hashem provides it to them.
