Commentary for Kiddushin 73:8
לחומרא פליג וה"ק ת"ק חוץ מן הערלה ומן הכלאים דהלכתא גמירי לה אע"ג דאיכא למימר חובת קרקע היא אבל חדש בארץ אין בח"ל לא
Now, since the Writ extends and limits [the duration of the precepts], go forth and learn from what is stated in that passage: Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations served their God:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ibid. 2.');"><sup>11</sup></span> just as [the destruction of] idolatry is singled out as being a personal duty, and is obligatory both within and without the land,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Since 'all the days etc.,' immediately precedes this,');"><sup>12</sup></span>
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
The first possibility is that R. Elazar is stricter than the first opinion. The first opinion says that the prohibition of eating new grain is prohibited only in Israel. The word “settlements” implies that Israel has taken possession and settled the land. Thus the prohibition is only applicable in a place that Israel takes possession of and settles—the Land of Israel. It is unlike orlah and kilayim which are obligatory everywhere.
