The Land of Israel (Hebrew: אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל‎ Eretz Yisrael) refers to the land in the southern Levant which the Jewish people have since Biblical times regarded as their God-given homeland. Over 3,500 years ago, according to the Bible, the land was promised by God to the descendants of Abraham through his son Isaac and to the Israelites, descendants of Jacob, Abraham's grandson. This land forms part of the Biblical covenant between God and the Jewish people. The most precise geographical borders of the promised land are given in Exodus 23:31, which describes the borders as the Red Sea, the "Sea of the Philistines" i.e. the Mediterranean, and the "River" (the Euphrates). References to the land of Israel are also made in the New Testament, for example in Matthew 2:19-21.
