What are the connotations of the word "La'reshes osam mi'Panecha"?

1.

Rashbam: It refers to the previous phrase - "Ki Yachris Hashem Elokecha es ha'Goyim ? mi'Panecha".

2.

Rosh: As opposed to human kings, whos legions go in front of them in war, and when they win, they make a victory crown for him, and proclaim him victorious. Hashem makes war and wins, and gives the crown to Yisrael. 1

1

Rosh: Like we find when the Pasuk states in Tehilim 136:17 "le'Makeh Mitzrayim?. Le'Sichon? u'le'Og" yet in Yehoshua 12:6 it writes "Moshe? u'Venei Yisrael Hikum", and when it states in Yehoshua 10:11, "Hashem Hishlich Aleihem?", yet in 12:7 it writes "va'Asher Hikah Yehoshua u'Venei Yisrael",

2)

What are the implications of "Veyashavta be'Artzam"?

1.

Oznayim la'Torah (citing the Ramban): It implies that it is a Mitzvah to live in Eretz Yisrael. 1

2.

Sifri; We learn from here that the Mitzvah of living in Eretz Yisrael is equal to all the Mitzvos. 2
