Дварим 26:9 Комментарий: Rashi, Sforno, Chizkuni & Siftei Chakhamim

וַיְבִאֵ֖נוּ אֶל־הַמָּק֣וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה וַיִּתֶּן־לָ֙נוּ֙ אֶת־הָאָ֣רֶץ הַזֹּ֔את אֶ֛רֶץ זָבַ֥ת חָלָ֖ב וּדְבָֽשׁ׃

И Он привел нас в это место и дал нам эту землю, землю, в которой течет молоко и мед.

Rashi

אל המקום הזה [AND HE HATH BROUGHT US] UNTO THIS PLACE — This refers to the Temple where the worshipper was standing when he made this declaration.

Sforno

ויתן לנו את הארץ הזאת, after we had left Egypt as free men we did not have any part of the land to settle in, and He gave us this land which is a superior land flowing with milk and honey.

Chizkuni

ארץ זבת חלב ודבש, “a land flowing with milk and honey.” Just as the land flowing with milk and honey refers to only five of the seven Canaanite tribes where it is first mentioned in Exodus 13,5 so here too Moses refers to the areas of these five tribes. This is also the source of the statement of Rabbi Yossi ha’glili who ruled that firstling fruit could not be brought from produce grown on the east Bank of the Jordan because that area is not part of the land flowing with milk and honey [as the quality of the soil there did not lend itself to producing superior fruit].

Rashi

ויתן לנו את הארץ means what it literally implies: AND HATH GIVEN US THE LAND.
