Now for a quick Vort. For the first time I picked up a Maharshag Al
Hatorah. The Maharshag was a Posek who was a Talmid of the Maharam Shik
in Hungary at the turn of the previous century. He has a quick Vort on
the Parsha which too applies to a general Yesod.
We find in the Parsha that Hakadosh Baruch Hu promises in 6:4 (וְגַם הֲקִמֹתִי אֶת-בְּרִיתִי אִתָּם, לָתֵת לָהֶם אֶת-אֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן--אֵת אֶרֶץ מְגֻרֵיהֶם, אֲשֶׁר-גָּרוּ בָהּ). The promise to give Eretz Yisrael to the Jewish people. The way that it is phrased is that it is the land of the Avos who lived there (אֲשֶׁר-גָּרוּ בָהּ). Why is it important if the Avos lived there? What is the difference if they lived there or not, Hakadosh Baruch Hu promises it to Klal Yisrael, so we will get it, does it matter that it is (אֶרֶץ מְגֻרֵיהֶם, אֲשֶׁר-גָּרוּ בָהּ)?
The Maharshag answers with a Yesod of the Nevuos of Nach. There are two levels of promise. There is a level where the Navi is told that something will happen. Then there is another level where the Navi is told something will happen and he is told to do something. Some physical action which symbolizes that which is going to take place. Whenever there is an act that symbolizes that which is going to take place it is to show the certainty with which it is going to happen and that subsequent events will not delay it. (אֶרֶץ מְגֻרֵיהֶם, אֲשֶׁר-גָּרוּ בָהּ). The Avos lived, they resided in Eretz Yisrael and not only that, but we find by Avraham Avinu that he was told to walk the length and breadth of Eretz Yisrael in order to make a Kinyan. The Ramban on Parshas Lech Lecha in 12:6 mentions this idea. That that walking was to make the Haftacha (the promise) all the more certain. Therefore, it fits well (אֵת אֶרֶץ מְגֻרֵיהֶם, אֲשֶׁר-גָּרוּ בָהּ). Because the Avos lived there that made it all the more certain of (הֲקִמֹתִי אֶת-בְּרִיתִי אִתָּם).
