וינהג את הצאן. בשרו שתהיה צאנו כלה במדבר ואחר כך נאסף עמהם שאחר שכלו מתי מדבר מיד נאסף ויבא אל הר האלהים וכו': וינהג את הצאן, “he led the flock after the desert.” The choice of the word אחר here is to serve as a hint that when G–d’s flock in the desert, i.e. the generation that left Egypt as adults had all died, and he had been buried where they had been buried, in the desert, He could bring the next generation to the land of Israel right away; this is why the verse ends with describing the mountain where Moses stood as being already “the Mountain of G–d.”
