English: “And He brought us to this place” — this is the Beis HaMikdash. “And He gave us this land” — this is the Land of Israel. “A land flowing with milk and honey” — to declare the praise of the Land of Israel.
In Sifrei: Once the Land is mentioned separately, “this place” is identified with the Temple. The declaration credits Hashem both with the gift of the Land and with bringing Israel to the site of the Mikdash.
