What are the connotations of "Asher Nasasi Es Yadi"?
Rashi, R. Bachye, Targum Onkelos an Targum Yonasan: Hashem informed Moshe that He would bring Yisrael to the land that He raised His Hand to swear 1 (by His Throne ? Rashi), to give to the Avos, to give them as an inheritance.
R. Bachye: It is a manner of speech, since it is the way of people who swear to raise their hands heavenwards.
Why did Hashem use the word "Morashah," and not 'Yerushah'?
R. Bachye and Ba'al ha'Turim: To hint that the current generation will not inherit the land, but will pass it on to their children. 1
"Ve'nasati oseh lachem Morashah, Ani Hashem". Why did Hashem need to add "Ani Hashem"?
R. Bachye: He began with "Ani Hashem" (in Pasuk 6 ? in connection with the promise that He would redeem Yisrael and He ends with the same words, as if to say 'I am the One who promised and I am the One who keeps His word!'
QUESTIONS ON RASHI
Rashi writes: "I have lifted My Hand - [I.e.,] I have raised it to swear by My throne!" Why explain this way?
Gur Aryeh: "Raising the hand" alone does not imply an oath in Halacha. Rashi explains that the oath comes from the implied reference to Hashem's Throne. A throne represents the kingdom itself; 1 as if to say, "I swear by My Kingship."
Gur Aryeh: As in Bereishis 41:40.
