Enjoyed as always, TY!

When Estori writes that he ascended to the Land of Israel באימה, לא בחומה, he is referring to the oath prohibiting us from ascending to Israel בחומה, as a wall, i.e., en masse, by force. See Talmud Kesubos 111a with Rashi. The translation should be something like "and not by force."
