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.
May your departure from the world be as free of sin as was your entry into the world.

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.
