Ramban on Deuteronomy 1:7/רמב"ן על דברים א׳:ז׳
אפְּנוּ וּסְעוּ לָכֶם הִזְכִּיר לָהֶם הָאָרֶץ וְהַדֶּרֶךְ שֶׁיֵּלְכוּ בָהּ לְמַסְעֵיהֶם, וְאַחֲרֵי כֵן אָמַר רְאֵה נָתַתִּי לִפְנֵיכֶם אֶת הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי לַאֲבֹתֵיכֶם בֹּאוּ וּרְשׁוּ אֶת הָאָרֶץ, מִצְוָה, לֹא יִעוּד וְהַבְטָחָה כַּאֲשֶׁר פֵּרַשְׁתִּי (במדבר לג נג):
1TURN YOU, AND TAKE YOUR JOURNEY, AND GO TO THE MOUNT OF THE AMORITE etc. He mentioned to them the Land and the road that they are to traverse in their stages, and afterwards He said, Behold, I have set the Land before you which I swore to your fathers; go in and possess the Land67 — this being a command, not just an assurance and promise, as I have explained.68 (six hundred and thirteen) mitzvoth which are binding for all times; that we are not to leave it in the hands of other nations, that we are not to leave it to waste, and that we are to dwell in it.
