Summary: The Jewish people are finally, after forty long years, making ready to enter the land of Israel. And one might even have expected Moshe to compliment the people on their unswerving belief, despite wandering in the desert for forty long years, that one day Hashem would indeed bring them into the land of Israel. Jews can don the uniforms of a Jewish army, and defend a Jewish homeland for the Jewish people, and any Jew, anywhere in the world, just a few decades after the Holocaust, can board a...

This world exists in one's eyes, so the eyes must be closed in order to take leave of this world and see a higher world.
