Age Bin with God's Curses


Ari Morris feels that we should pay more attention to the Bible’s allocation of Israel to the Jews.  If that’s what we’re doing, we’ll have to put in a bit more effort; the actual words used in that volume are " the land from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates” - about half of Egypt, all of Jordan, and most of Syria and Iraq. Like some Victorian land speculators, Jehovah was rather prone to selling land he didn’t have legal title to, and we shouldn’t regard his allocations as binding.
