Aug 24, 2017 at 9:06 comment added Tamir Evan Maybe it is one of ha-Tzivuyim ha-Kolelim ha-Torah Kulah (translated as "'encompassing' directives" on chabad.org), mentioned in Shoresh / Kelal #4 of the introduction to Sefer ha-Mitzvot, which are not part of the 613 Mitzvot. (I don't know how that would affect pitting it against other considerations.)

Jul 7, 2017 at 18:08 comment added DonielF @hazoriz Perhaps. But in that case, it would be the second category - "live by them" implies "don't die by them."

Jul 5, 2017 at 17:36 comment added DonielF @DanF Assuming that's a valid interpretation of v'nishmartem, even if it could push aside a lav, it couldn't push aside an aseh (shamor always means lav, and asi aseh v'dachi lo sa'aseh - not the other way around.) This passuk not only gives it a status of an aseh but would also make it impervious to asi aseh (eino docheh aseh v'lo sa'aseh).

Jul 5, 2017 at 16:21 comment added DanF Offhand, I wonder if this fits either as I think Venishmartem (in parshat Va'etchanan) is a mitzvah, and if so, what would this verse be adding?
