Contemporary Halakhic Problems, Vol I
2. R. Isaac de Leon, the author of Megillat Ester, an early commentary on Maimonides' Sefer ha-Mizvot, maintains that Rambam omitted the commandment to dwell in the Land of Israel in cataloguing the 613 precepts of Judaism because he was of the opinion that the obligation to dwell in Israel lapsed with the dispersion of Israel following the destruction of the Temple. Megillat Ester points out that the Gemara, Ketubot 111a, interprets the verse "I cause you to swear, O daughters of Jerusalem … that ye awaken not nor stir up love until it please" (Song of Songs 2:7) as an admonition not to rebel against the conquerors of Israel or to seize the land by force.
