Шмот 34:24 Комментарий: Rashi, Chizkuni, Da'at Zekenim & Or HaChaim

כִּֽי־אוֹרִ֤ישׁ גּוֹיִם֙ מִפָּנֶ֔יךָ וְהִרְחַבְתִּ֖י אֶת־גְּבוּלֶ֑ךָ וְלֹא־יַחְמֹ֥ד אִישׁ֙ אֶֽת־אַרְצְךָ֔ בַּעֲלֹֽתְךָ֗ לֵרָאוֹת֙ אֶת־פְּנֵי֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ שָׁלֹ֥שׁ פְּעָמִ֖ים בַּשָּׁנָֽה׃

Ибо Я изгоню народы перед тобою и расширю границы твои; и никто не пожелает земли твоей, когда ты пойдешь три раза в год предстать пред Господом Богом твоим.

Rashi

אוריש means as the Targum has it אתריך, I will drive out. Similar is (Deuteronomy 2:31) “Begin to drive out (רש)”; and similar is, (Numbers 21:32) “and drove out (ויורש) the Amorites” — all having the sense of expelling.

Chizkuni

כי אוריש גוים מפניך והרחבתי את גבולך, “When I will drive out nations on your account and expand your boundaries;” seeing that the season when you make the pilgrimages is one in which G-d is especially well disposed toward you, I shall expand your boundaries beyond what I had promised Avraham. The reference is to the lands of Sichon and Og which are on the East bank of the Jordan and had not been included in G-d’s original promise. There had been a fear that seeing these lands had not been promised to Avraham, the survivors of these lands would attempt to reclaim it. G-d reassures the people that their temporary absence during pilgrimages to the Temple would not be exploited by their neighbours.
[I do not understand this, a) as these lands were conquered before the Israelites had made a single pilgrimage in the West bank to the Temple, and they were still eating manna, not having had what to harvest. b) Moreover, at the covenant between the pieces in Genesis 15,18 G-d had promised that the north eastern borders of these lands would be at the river Euphrates, far from the boundaries of the lands of Sichon and Og, even. Ed.]

Da'at Zekenim

ולא יחמוד איש את ארצך, “and no-one will covet your land;” the gentiles, even though aware that the Israelites who make the pilgrimages to Jerusalem three times a year leave their land exposed to invaders, will reason that if they had been unable to hold on to their own lands when G–d gave it to them as an inheritance, how much less will they be able to recapture it at a time when these people are preoccupied with fulfilling the commandment of the G–d Who had given it to them!”

Rashi

והרחבתי את גבלך [I WILL DRIVE OUT THE NATIONS BEFORE THEE] AND ENLARGE THY BOUNDARIES — and consequently you may be far from the Chosen House (the Temple) and you will then not be able to appear before Me continually; therefore I appoint for you these three seasons.
