[Sifrei Devarim 179:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/179:2)

**וִירִשְׁתָּם וְיָשַׁבְתָּ בְעָרֵיהֶם וּבְבָתֵּיהֶם**, מִכְּלָל שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר **וְיָשַׁבְתָּ בְעָרֵיהֶם וּבְבָתֵּיהֶם** יָכוֹל אִי אַתָּה רַשַּׁי לְהוֹסִיף עַל הַבִּנְיָן? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר (דברים יב כט): ״וְיָשַׁבְתָּ בְּאַרְצָם״; כָּל מָקוֹם שֶׁאַתָּה רוֹצֶה לִבְנוֹת – בְּנֵה!

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"and you inherit them and you dwell in their cities and in their houses": Because it is written "and you inherit them and you dwell in their cities," I might think that you are not permitted to add (to the existing settlement); it is, therefore, written (*Ibid*. 12:29) "and you dwell in their land" — Wherever you wish to build, build.
