We find that there is an important dimension to walking, since most
mitzvot are accomplished through motion. There is reward granted for
each step taken to perform a mitzvah and, l’havdil, even for the steps
taken by Nevuchadnezzar and Eglon. Furthermore, tzaddikim are referred
to as those who “go,” as opposed to angels who “stand.” This is because
tzaddikim do not cease learning Torah after departing from this world, but
continue studying it in the World to Come.

Hashem told Avraham, “Arise, walk about the land through its length
and breadth!” By walking through the land and enlightening people of
Hashem’s Kingship, he would merit offspring who would inherit Eretz
Yisrael.

A person who labors in Torah and “walks” through its vast expanses will
discover novel insights. In the end, he will merit that the Torah will
“walk” before him and advocate for him after his death.
When Bnei Yisrael halted their journey and “sat” in Shittim, the challenge
of Ba’al Peor sprang upon them, which ultimately led them to sin with
the women of Midian.
The Navi quotes Am Yisrael’s expression of their desire to do teshuvah
with the words, “Let us search and examine our ways.” Further on they
say, “Renew our days as of old,” referring to the days lovingly recalled by
Hashem: “Your following Me into the Wilderness.”
