The Promised Land II

When Moses spoke to the descendants of Jacob (son of Isaac), who was renamed Israel, it probably never occurred to him that Israel would become the name of a country. He spoke to them as a group whose offspring one day would inherit the Promised Land.

​In the interim, God had identified for them a plot of land on which they could live temporarily, and that plot of land became their understanding of the Promised Land. It became what characterized them as a nation of Jews. The land was their inheritance from their God.
