EXOD988 Thus, through observance of the laws and restrictions one places upon oneself, one demonstrates a sense of freedom. This is precisely the intention of the Mishnah Avot 6:2 that connects the Hebrew word cherut, freedom , with a similar word charut, engraved. When the Torah says [this verse] that the hand of God was engraved on the tablets of the Ten Commandments, one should read freedom, not engraved.
