לכבוד יום השנה של החתם סופר זצוק"ל כ"ה תשרי
born, Sep.24,1762- niftar, Oct. 3, 1839 

Rashi explains the first Pasuk , בראשית [הכל] ברא

We translate the Pasuk  as if the word הכל was placed between בראשית and ברא.

The Chasam Sofer  asks if the word הכל needs to be there so  why is it missing.

The Chasam Sofer answers it is to honour the Bnei Yisroel.

The Gemoro* says that Bnei Yisroel are greater than the Malochim.

The Malochim may not verbalize Hashem's name until they say three words

קדוש קדוש קדוש ה'

Whereas the Bnei Yisroel may say Hashems name after two words

שמע ישראל ה'
*Chulin 91b

The Chasam Sofer connects the last Pasuk in Devarim

“לעיני כל  ישראל  “

to

בראשית ברא אלוקים

In honour of  the Bnei Yisroel the הכל is missing and  we have only  two words before the word אלוקים

On the other hand, in heaven for the Malochim there it says,

בראשית הכל ברא

They need three words before the word אלוקים.

My father** ע"ה added

My father** ע"ה  added to the Chasam Sofer connecting the last Pasuk in Kesuvim we read.  We end  the Koheles  with the Pasuk

סוף דבר הכל נשמע את האלהים ירא- כי זה כל האדם

The הכל is only heard (understood) and not seen because the Torah was given to G-d fearing humans (Bnei Yisroel)

הכל בידי שמים חוץ מיראת שמים

The word הכל is in heaven (Malochim)

חוץ , it’s outside of our Torah
Miyras Shomayim because of the G-d fearing
(Bnei Yisroel) for their honour .
