| From our Sages on the Parshah |
And He brought us to this place, and gave us this land (Deut. 26:9)
The Holy Temple was built by King Solomon in Jerusalem
hundreds of years after the people took possession of the land under Joshua. The verse's order should therefore be reversed -- "He gave us this land, and He brought us to this place"!
But here we have an allusion to that which the Targum Yonatan relates: that on the first Passover (while still in Egypt) the Children of Israel were carried on "wings of eagles" (see Exodus 19:4) to the Temple Mount, where they brought the Passover offering.
(Etz Chaim)
Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you
go out (28:6)
May your departure from the world be as free of sin as was your entry into
the world.
(Rashi)
