Prophets, Joshua 18:4; 18:6: Appoint for yourselves three men for each tribe; and I will send them, and they shall arise, and go through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come to me.

You shall describe the land into seven parts, and bring it here to me, and I will cast lots for you here before the Lord our God.

Joshua Ben Nun says that the desires of Israel should be shaped in us.

“I will send them,” that is, “I will push, lead, support them on the steps of mastering the property of bestowal and love, and they will rise above their egoism.”

In spirituality, we distinguish states of lying, sitting, and getting up, which personify the small state (Katnut) and the large state (Gadlut). When a person sits, this is a small state, Katnut. When he gets up, this is already the middle state, that is, he can be associated with others but only with the properties of bestowal. And the large state is when he can be associated with other properties of reception as well.

“And they will rise” means that you can transform the property of reception into property of bestowal by building the right intention.

“And go through the land,“ that is, the children of Israel will master all their desires and will be able to mix them together and work together on them as one common desire with one common intention.

Everything that they learn, receive, master, they will be able to absorb into themselves. This is the meaning of “describe.”

“And they will come to me,” they will return again to their mentor, who brought them here, and they will go on with him.

The mentor supports them, directs them, corrects them, helps them, explains why they exist. Why is it necessary to overcome such obstacles, to overcome your egoism for the sake of connection and love with each other?

It is about how to perceive the teacher correctly and implement what he says. All this is the process of entering the land of Israel.
