רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל אוֹמֵר: שִׁנָּה הַכָּתוּב בִּיאָה זוֹ מִכׇּל בִּיאוֹת שֶׁבַּתּוֹרָה, שֶׁבְּכֻלָּם נֶאֱמַר ״וְהָיָה כִּי תָבֹאוּ״ ״וְהָיָה כִּי יְבִיאֲךָ״, וְכָאן הוּא אוֹמֵר ״בְּבֹאֲכֶם״ — לְלַמֶּדְךָ שֶׁמִּכֵּיוָן שֶׁנִּכְנְסוּ לָאָרֶץ מִיָּד נִתְחַיְּבוּ בְּחַלָּה.

English: R’ Yishmael says: Scripture changed this “coming” from all other “comings” in the Torah… here it says “when you come” — to teach you that as soon as they entered the land they were immediately obligated in challah.
