What Do They Represent?
We're discussing the bris that the Rebbeinu Shlomei would have ramavinu, and the Pasuk specifies what exactly that bris was for.
L'oseis es eretz ha-kenani ha-chiti ha-emayri va-aprizi va-ivusiv ha-gyogoshi.
To give the land of the Canani, Chiti, Amiri, Prizi, Yavusi, and Girgashi.
Why does the Torah have to enumerate? Why does the Pesach have to say the name of every nation? Just say, Eretz Canan, or the Eretz of the seven nations.
Why does the Torah specify it so detailed, detailing each nation that lived in Eretz Yisrael? Rabbi Wigdemiller says the reason is in order to teach us the chesed of HaKadosh Baruch Hu.
When you want to discuss chesedim of the Rebbeinu Shalom, you mention it and you speak it out and you talk about all the details.
These were very powerful nations and the Rebbeinu Shalom gave them to Avraham Avinu.
So we specify each one to demonstrate the chesed that was involved in every one.
Perhaps we can add another piece because besides for the physical strength of these nations, they also represent a certain Kayakh of Tumah.
And part of Klal Yisrael going into Eretz Yisrael was that Eretz Yisrael became purified from these seven Kayakhs of Tumah.
And that's perhaps why we specified them.
It wasn't just a group of nations.
And therefore we specify it.
Now again, the point is the same.
The point is the chesed of HaKadosh Baruch Hu.
But we speak it out to help us feel and appreciate to what extent that chesed was.
whether we're dealing with a spiritual aspect or a physical aspect, it was a chesed of the Rabbi Nishlelam, and that's the chesed that we're referring to.
That the Rabbi Nishlelam gave the land of these nations, these powerful nations, he promised it to Avraham Avinu.
