Why does the Torah repeat "al-Pi Hashem Yachanu, ve'al-Pi Hashem Yisa'u ... "?

1.

Seforno: To teach us that Yisrael followed instructions whether they encamped for an inconveniently short period or whether they traveled after they had encamped for a long time and were comfortably settled. 1

2.

"Al-Pi Hashem Yachanu? teaches us that when they dismantled the Mishkan, it was as if they intended to re-erect it in the same location, 2 and that consequently,someone who dismantles a building with the intention of re-erecting it elsewhere is Patur on Shabbos. 3


1

It is not clear however, what the Torah is saying that it did not already say in Pasuk 20.

2

See Torah Temimah, note 40.

3

Not to mention if he does not intend to re-build it at all ? in which case we already know that he is Patur because it is ?Kilkul? (destructive)
