It might be suggested that, even according to Rashi, Eretz Yisrael is our inheritance as the verse states in Parashat Vaera. The land cannot be taken away from us, for we received it from our forefathers. However, when a person receives an inheritance his attitude might be that he doesn't have to work hard to build it up; after all it is only an inheritance. Rashi points out that Eretz Yisrael is not just an inheritance. We have to see the Land of Israel as a present that was just received. Eretz Yisrael cannot be perceived as a land that our forefathers already built up, not requiring any effort on our part. The Torah is telling us that in every generation Jews have to see Eretz Yisrael as a land which God has just given us, mandating that we all see it as our responsibility to build the land.
