"Vehaya Ki Tavo el Haaretz"-When you come to the land that God your Lord is giving you as a heritage, occupying and settling it...
These words spoken by Moshe, knowing that he won't be among those who enter the "Promised Land" sound sad.
On the other side, he also knew that the situation of ruling your own land ans society may - and generally does - arouse a feeling of hybris and therefore some admonitions about welfare and social justice, based on the principle that we aren't the owners of the Land follow this initial words.
Maybe the challenge of "entering the Land" and ruling all aspects of our own society is relevant to all generations who enter the land after being in the desert.
Shabbat Shalom to all,
