Chasidut for Zevachim 231:17

ומר נמי הכתיב עורי צפון [ההוא] בקיבוץ גליות הוא דכתיב

[this means,] Awake, O people whose rites [were performed] in the north, and come, O people, whose rites [will henceforth be performed] in the north and the south.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The burnt-offering was slaughtered on the north side of the altar; the peace-offering, on any side. He renders: Awake, O nation who hitherto, as Children of Noah, could only sacrifice on the north side of the altar (hence, burnt-offerings) and now, by accepting the Torah, come as a people who can sacrifice in the north and the south. - Cf. Gen. Rab. XXII, 5 (Sonc. ed. p. 183.)');"><sup>20</sup></span> But as to this master, surely it is written, 'of the f thereof'? - That means, of their fat ones.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Sc. the best.');"><sup>21</sup></span>

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.
