Chasidut for Zevachim 231:18
והא כתיב (שמות י, כה) ויאמר משה גם אתה תתן בידינו זבחים ועולות ועשינו לה' אלהינו זבחים לאכילה ועולות להקרבה
And as to the other master, surely it is written, 'Awake, O north [etc.]'? - That refers to the ingathering of the exiles.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' It is a summons to the north and the south to bring in their exiles.');"><sup>22</sup></span> But surely it is written, And Moses said: 'Thou must also give into our hands sacrifices [zebahim] and burnt-offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the Lord our God?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ex. X, 25. This was said before Revelation, and since 'burnt-offerings' are specifically mentioned, 'sacrifices' must mean peace-offerings.');"><sup>23</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.
