Chasidut for Pesachim 111:9
אמר רבי אבהו התקינו שיהו אומרים אותו בקול רם מפני תרעומת המינין ובנהרדעא דליכא מינין עד השתא אמרי לה בחשאי:
just as there is only One in thy heart, so is there in our heart only One.' In that moment our father Jacob opened [his mouth] and exclaimed, 'Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever.' Said the Rabbis, How shall we act? Shall we recite it, - but our Teacher Moses did not say it.
Pri Tzadik
וישמע יתרו: the portion dealing with יתרו comes before the giving of the Torah. There is a discussion whether יתרו's portion came before or after the giving of the Torah. If the portion of יתרו came before, we need to understand why the whole giving of the Torah was prefaced with the story of יתרו.
