(Bamidbar 34:2) "This is the land that falls to you as an inheritance." The Midrash (Bamidbar Rabbah 23:5) tells us Hashem showed Moshe every future generation, including leaders, judges, the righteous, and sinners. The Canaanites never perceived Eretz Yisrael's spiritual essence. Bnei Yisrael's preparation upon entering the land brought down its spiritual concept to the physical realm. As our sages taught, the Beis Hamikdash above is directed over the Beis Hamikdash below, and similarly, Eretz Yisrael and Yerushalayim have hidden spiritual elements.“This is the land” refers to the spiritual energy Hashem showed Moshe. Bnei Yisrael are the “borders” within which holiness spreads. Through the 12 tribes entering their borders, the land becomes an inheritance, enabling holiness to permeate it. Hashem commanded not to leave any Canaanites because the spiritual essence of the land cannot tolerate their impurity. On an individual level, as one prepares the Torah in their heart and soul, Hashem brings about holiness proportionately. As our sages taught, one should always feel as if there is holiness within their body.
