Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Ulangan 11:24

Every place upon which the sole of your feet will tread. This is similar to what was said to Moshe. Regarding this, we learned in the Sifre. ‘If [this verse] is to teach us about the boundaries of Eretz Yisroel, the Torah has already stated:⁹Devorim 11:24. From the wilderness and the Lebanon etc.¹⁰Therefore we know the boundaries of Eretz Yisroel from the Torah. If so, why is it said here: Every place upon which the sole will tread? This includes the lands outside Eretz Yisroel. After you have conquered the land, everything you conquer outside the land will be sacred and will belong to you.’

These two tribes also countered the argument that they were placing themselves outside the Holy Land by residing on the East Bank of the Jordan river, pointing out that G'd had extended His protection to the Israelites to help them conquer these lands. Maimonides writes as follows in chapter one of his treatise on Trumot and Maasrot. "The land of Israel comprises every place which has been conquered by a Jewish king or prophet provided such a conquest had met with the approval of most of the nation. However, if an individual Israelite or even a whole tribe had made war on their neighbours and conquered their territory or part of it, such lands would not be considered as part of the Holy Land even if the territory in question had been part of the land promised by G'd to Abraham." Thus far Maimonides on the subject. He wrote further -in connection with the territories captured by king David,- "why were these lands not considered as on the same level of holiness as the land of Israel? Because David conquered these territories before Israel had conquered all the parts of the land of Canaan which G'd had commanded Joshua to conquer." The basis of the הלכה that also lands outside the boundaries of what we call ארץ ישראל proper will be incorporated halachically is found in Sifri at the end of Parshat Eykev. It is based on Deut. 11,24: "every place that the ball of your foot will step on will remain yours." Seeing that conquest and possession of the land of Israel proper and its boundaries have been mentioned in Joshua chapter five, it is clear that the subject of this verse are lands outside the areas which constitute ארץ ישראל proper. Sifri explains that the reason this verse becomes operative only after the Israelites had dispossessed all the Canaanites within ארץ ישראל proper is so as not to transfer remnants of the impurities and abominations which the Israelites tolerated within their boundaries to newly captured territory. Thus far Sifri on the subject. It is clear from all this that if it had not been for the delay of hundreds of years in expelling or liquidating local inhabitants such as the Jebusite in Jerusalem, for instance, any land conquered by a majority of Israelites would have become incorporated as part of ארץ ישראל proper for all time. At any rate, the tribes Reuven and Gad referred to the territory they wished to settle in as equal in sanctity to that yet to be conquered seeing that G'd had smitten the kings and armies of those lands.

That we were commanded to possess the land which God, may He be exalted, gave to our forefathers—to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob—and that we must not leave it in the hands of others from among the nations, nor leave it desolate. [*] This is what He said to them: "And you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land and dwell in it, for to you I have given the land to possess it" (Numbers 33:53), and "And you shall inherit the land which I swore to your forefathers." He specified for them in this commandment its entirety, with its borders and boundaries, as He said: "Go to the mountain of the Amorites and to all its neighbors, in the plain, in the mountain, and in the lowland, in the Negev and by the seacoast..." (Deut. 1:7), so that they should not leave any place within it [unsettled].

לפאת קדמה מזרחה ON THE EAST SIDE EASTWARDS — The last two words are the same as פני המזרח. The word הדם is synonymous with פנים, the face (the front side of any thing), and אחור is the same term as אֲחוֹרַיִם, the buttocks, the back-side. The East is therefore called קדם because it is the front part of the world; correspondingly, the West is called אחור, the back part of the world just as you speak of (Deuteronomy 11:24) הים האחרון the Hinder Sea, which the Targum renders by “the Western Sea.”

the seacoast [Heb. חוֹף הַיָם,] marche in Old French, frontier, borderland. They are Philistines, who live in the southwestern corner of the land of Israel on the Western (Mediterranean) Sea.
