a kashe that personifies R' Shteinman

  כִּ֣י הָאָ֗רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֨ר אַתָּ֤ה בָא־שָׁ֙מָּה֙ לְרִשְׁתָּ֔הּ לֹ֣א כְאֶ֤רֶץ מִצְרַ֙יִם֙ הִ֔וא אֲשֶׁ֥ר יְצָאתֶ֖ם מִשָּׁ֑ם אֲשֶׁ֤ר תִּזְרַע֙ אֶֽת־זַרְעֲךָ֔ וְהִשְׁקִ֥יתָ בְרַגְלְךָ֖ כְּגַ֥ן הַיָּרָֽק (11:10) 

Rashi comments: והשקית ברגלך – ארץ מצרים היתה צריכהו להביא מים מנילוס ברגלך ולהשקותה, וצריך אתה לנדד שנתיךז ולעמול, והנמוך שותה ולא הגבוה, ואתה מעלה מים מן הנמוך לגבוה. אבל זו למטר השמים וגומ׳ (דברים י״א:י״א) – אתה ישן על מטתך, והקב״ה משקה נמוך וגבוה, גלוי ושאינו גלוי, כאחת

When you were in Egypt, you had to get up early and make an irrigation canal so that the water could flow from the Nile to your field.  In Eretz Yisrael, you can stay in bed and Hashem will deliver the water to you, bringing rain everywhere and anywhere that it is needed.

R' Shteinman in his Ayeles haShachar asks: what do you mean stay in bed?  Why would you not get up and take advantage of the extra time to devote to ruchniyus?

No question that this kashe is ראוי הוא למי שׁאמרו and personifies who R' Shteinman was.  The rest of us read this Rashi and did not even bat an eye when we got to those words about staying in bed.  Amazing.

2) That parsha continues

וְהָאָ֗רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֨ר אַתֶּ֜ם עֹבְרִ֥ים שָׁ֙מָּה֙ לְרִשְׁתָּ֔הּ אֶ֥רֶץ הָרִ֖ים וּבְקָעֹ֑ת לִמְטַ֥ר הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם תִּשְׁתֶּה־מָּֽיִם 

The difference between Eretz Yisrael and Egypt is whether you need irrigation, or whether there is rain.  So why does the earlier pasuk refer to אֲשֶׁ֤ר תִּזְרַע֙ אֶֽת־זַרְעֲךָ֔, the planting that was done in Egypt?  You have to plant in Eretz Yisrael too?

Sefas Emes answers that when you plant in Egypt, its זַרְעֲךָ֔, *your* produce, *your* seeds that are going in the ground.  It's all about the prat.  Eretz Yisrael is about the klal.  Whatever happens there is reflective of Hashem's relationship with Klal Yisrael.  As we discussed before, the GR"A writes that the nusach ha'bracha in bareich aleinu should be sabeinu mi'tuvah, not sabeinu mi'tuvecha, because the tov that we get, the shefa that comes into the world, all comes through Eretz Yisrael.  It is the source of goodness that then spreads out to the rest of the world.  When you plant there, it's not זַרְעֲךָ֔, limited to you, but it creates a ripple effect throughout the world.
