Language translates into location focus.

English means London is the center of the world.

Yiddish makes eastern Europe the center focus.

Hebrew and even “modern” Hebrew makes Jerusalem the center of the world.

Yaacov did not want to buried in Egypt, so that there would not be a focus location in Egypt, but in Hevron.

Mount Sinai after Matan Torah never became a reference point.

By hiding where Moshe is buried, G-d prevented us from having a reference point outside Eretz Yisroel.

Goshen is not a reference point. Where we crosed the Red Sea is not a reference point.

210 years in Egypt and 40 years in desert, zero reference points.

But the Avos before them created many reference points.
