Midrash su Deuteronomio 12:9

If Israel had been meritorious, then in eleven days they would have entered Eretz Yisrael, but because they corrupted their ways, the L-rd stretched it into forty years, as it is written (Bamidbar 14:34) "According to the number of days that you spied out the land, forty days — a day for a year, a day for a year — shall you bear your sins." R. Yehudah says: Now did it take them eleven days? Did it not take them only three days? As it is written (Ibid. 10:33) "And they traveled from the mountain of the L-rd a journey of three days." (The intent is that) in three days Israel traveled an eleven-day distance. If Israel had been meritorious, they would have entered Eretz Yisrael in three days. As it is written (Ibid.) "And the ark of the covenant of the L-rd preceded them, a distance of three days to look out a resting place for them," "a resting place" being Eretz Yisrael, as it is written (Devarim 12:9) "For you will not yet have come to the rest and to the inheritance that the L-rd your G-d gives you." They said to him: Was it an eleven-day distance? Was it not a forty-day distance, as it is written of Eliyahu (I Kings 19:8) "And he arose and ate and drank, and he walked on the strength of that meal for forty days and forty nights (until the mountain of G-d, Chorev")? … R. B'na'ah says: If Israel had been meritorious, they would have entered Eretz Yisrael in one day, as it is written (Shemoth 13:4-5) "This day you go out, in the month of spring," immediately (followed by) "And it shall be, when the L-rd brings you to the land of Canaan." Abba Yossi b. Chanan says in the name of Cohein Bardela: If Israel had been meritorious, as soon as their horses' hooves ascended from the sea, they would have entered Eretz Yisrael, as it is written (Devarim 1:21) "Go up (from the sea) and possess (the land) as the L-rd, the G-d of your fathers has spoken to you."

Our Rabbis were taught concerning the passage (Deut. 12, 9) For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the Lord your God giveth thee; i.e., to the rest, refers to Shiloh; and to the inheritance, refers to Jerusalem, and so says the verse (Jer. 12, 8) My heritage has become unto Me as a lion in the forest, and again the passage says (Ib.) Is My heritage unto Me as a speckled bird of prey? This is the opinion of R. Juda. R. Simon says: "Rest refers to Jerusalem and heritage refers to Shiloh, and so the verse reads (Ps. 132, 14) This is My resting place forever, and again it reads, For the Lord hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation." It is easily understood according to the one who explains that rest refers to Shiloh that the verse says [first] to the rest and then to the heritage, but the one who explains that rest refers to Jerusalem and heritage refers to Shiloh, this reversed form should have been used in the passage, first heritage and then rest? Moses said thus [unto Israel]: "Not only are ye not as yet come unto rest [Jerusalem] but even unto the heritage [Shiloh] are ye not as yet come."

(Devarim 12:9) "For you have not as yet come": to be permitted (again to sacrifice) on a bamah.
