I Will Give This Land to Your Descendants

Translation / Interpretation / Caption Text / Source

Hebrew translation: This poster features the text from Ha-tikvah, the Israeli national anthem; the declaration of independence; and a prayer for peace(text at top) I will give this land to your descendantsGenesis 12:7 (not Genesis 15, which is what is cited in the poster)Genesis 15 does talk a lot about national inheritance of land, and in verse 18 has the problematic statement: I gave to your descendants this land from the river of Egypt to the great river of the Euphrates, something that the Israeli right wing brings up from time to time.
