English: “To the rest…” — Once the Mishkan was erected the bamot were forbidden; when Israel came to Gilgal they were permitted; when they came to Shiloh they were forbidden; when they came to Nov and Giv’on they were permitted. As the verse says “for you have not yet come to the rest and to the inheritance” — “rest” is Shiloh, “inheritance” is Jerusalem. Why did it separate them? In order to allow a period of permission between them. And once they came to Jerusalem they were forbidden forever.
On the daf / in context: The verse establishes the successive stages of permission and prohibition of private altars corresponding to the successive central sanctuaries.
