Parshas Shelach Riddle

סיפור על בעל התניא

The Baal HaTanya was asked as a child:

"Which verse in the Torah ends with the same three words it begins with?"

He cleverly answered:

"The verse that does not contain the word ‘emet’"

אֲנִ֞י ה' אֱלֹקיכֶ֗ם

אֲשֶׁ֨ר הוֹצֵ֤אתִי אֶתְכֶם֙ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם לִֽהְי֥וֹת לָכֶ֖ם לֵֽאלֹקים אֲנִ֖י ה' אֱלֹקיכֶֽם

It is only in davening that we add the word emet. In the Torah itself, this word does not appear in this verse.

The Baal HaTanya – Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi
