When the Lord your G-d will bring you to the land to which you will come in order to inherit it."
The Torah speaks of terrestrial Eretz Yisrael which is similar to its celestial counterpart. The word "ha'aretz" refers to the "earth" after one's death in which one "sleeps", i.e. refines the body through metamorphosis in order to be able to take one's place in one's original inheritance, the one intended for Adam before the sin. Just as on our earth there are two mountains, Mount Gerizim and Mount Eyval, which symbolize blessing and curse respectively, so there are two parallel mountains in the Celestial Regions.
By Rabbi Isaiah Horowitz; adapted from Shenei Luchot HaBrit by Eliyahu Munk
