And if you say the time has not yet arrived, (21) "See, the L-rd your G-d has set the land before you."
I am telling you not from approximation or from hearsay, but from what you see with your own eyes.
"Go up and possess it," immediately, "as the L-rd the G-d of your fathers has spoken to you." I am telling you this not of myself, but by the behest of the Holy One Blessed be He.
(Devarim 1:22) "And all of you drew near to me": promiscuously. And elsewhere it is written (Ibid. 5:26) "And you approached me (deferentially), all the heads of your tribes and your elders." The young honored the elders, and the elders honored the heads. And here it is written "And all of you drew near to me and you said" — promiscuously, the young pushing the elders, and the elders pushing the heads.
