After the people of Israel pulled all desires out of Egypt, the “vessels” and gold and silver jewelry, then all their egoistic qualities died in them.

As it is said in the Torah about the entire generation that exited Egypt, all their egoism died and then they received the opportunity to reach the next level, called the land of Israel (Eretz Israel), a desire aimed only at bestowal and love. “Eretz” is “desire (Ratzon)” and “Israel” is “Yashar Kel (straight to the Creator).”

The Creator is the force of bestowal and love, which is the main force of nature. Everything else is manifested as its particular types. The program, according to which this force works, is aimed at making a person independent and with the desire to be in a state of bestowal and love.

Abraham’s group, once they entered the land of Israel, began to fight for it because other nations also lived there. In addition, all sorts of obstacles arose in the group itself that were manifested in the characters of people, and they had to rise above them. This period is called the conquest of the land of Israel (“Kibush Haaretz“).
