"See ('u're'eetem') the Land - how is it?" (13:18) Later in the parashs, the Torah states, "And you will see ('u're'eetem') it [the tztitit] and remember all the commandments (15:39)." The word "u're'eetem" appears only one more time in the Torah - in the verse (Shemot 1:16), "And you will see on the birthing stool [literally, 'on the stones']." R' Shlomo Zalman Ehrenreich z"l (Hungary; 20th century) suggests the following connection between these three verses: The yetzer hara and the yetzer hatov each is referred to in certain verses as a "stone." The "stones" in the verse from Shmot therefore allude to the good and bad inclinations. If one will see and ponder these two stones and recognize the difference between them, he will see "the land" (referring to "This World") and "how it is." He will see that "the land" ("This World") is worthless and he will instead look at the benefits of keeping Hashem's commandments. (Tiyul Ba'pardes)
