Israel

To Your Descendants I have Given this Land

Genesis 15:18

On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying; “To your descendants I have given this land from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates.”

On the day that God made a covenant with Abraham He promised to give his descendants all the land from the river of Egypt, that is the most eastern branch of the Nile, right across to the Euphrates.

Abraham had two sons. Ishmael was his son by a servant and didn’t inherit the land but Isaac was the son with Sarah promised by God who carried on the family line and inherited the promised land.

If God promised the land to Abraham and his descendants in an “everlasting “covenant as the Bible says in Exodus chapter 17 then the land belongs to the Jews forever.

This promise is repeated in:

Genesis 17:8; 28:13, in general terms

Exodus 23:31 in specific detail

Leviticus 20:24 in general terms

Numbers 34:2-15 in specific detail

Deuteronomy 1:7-8; 4:40; 9:5-6; in general terms

Deuteronomy 11:24, in specific detail

Joshua 1:4, in specific detail

Joshua 1:13 in general terms

Therefore, the Land always belongs to the Jews because they are the descendants of Abraham through Isaac.
