[Avodah] Possession of EY

[Prof. Levine]

RSRH comments on Shemos 6

8 And then I will bring you into the land concerning which I raised 
My hand, to give it to Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya'akov, and I will
give it to you as a heritage, I, Hashem!

V'hayvaysi Eschem. Thus, Israel is to be fully constituted as a nation even
before it receives a land of its own. Hence, its existence as a nation is
not contingent upon possession of a land; rather, its possession of a
land is contingent upon the faithful fulfillment of its task as a nation.
