Got a Bible from late 1800s also with Palestine on an included map
can you share a photo of the map?
Ok I may have had the wrong Bible of mine in mind or the page is missing, but these are from another I have from 1976. If I can find the other I'll post that too. Big and old book, gotta be gentle
Uh…Israel was there since 1947. BC.
Israel was never a plot of land until 1947. Nowhere in the Bible does it say any different.
Might want to read Genesis 15 and 18.
The word Israel isnt even in either. Biblical Israel is not a plot of land. The 'nation' referred to is not a nation as we understand the word nowadays. It refers to his bloodline. Try harder
Don’t be so rude, bro. And I do understand the scriptures. Israel is a person, a people, and a place.
