Ets HaDa'at Tov V'Ra holds power through its three roots, symbolized by the small letters in the Torah Kedumah.
In the first root, Shabbat is first memorized truthfully, but then, in second instance, it gives place to a Sheker, namely, that HaShem rested on the seventh day.
Through the second root, Hammurabi-like code is inserted into Parshat Mishpatim, which has led to Jewish law, for better and for worse.
And, finally, in the third root, it grabs new Truth, the thirteen Midot of HaShem, but this is paid for, by Avodah Zarah, by death.
The D and P commentaries, in turn, have roots inside these roots, but enough has been said.
