The Merit of the Fathers and of the Land 2

And I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham I will remember, and the Land, I will remember.                                           Leviticus 26:42 

 The structure of the verse is a bit odd as it would seem simpler to state “and I will remember the Land.”

Maharal of Prague suggests that the Torah’s intention is to teach that remembering the Land of Israel, which has its own unique kedusha, and remembering the Patriarchs are intertwined. Thus, the Patriarchs realized their potential because the spiritual influence of the Land enabled them to achieve the level of holiness they realized.
