 And that was their covenant. You follow the Torah, I give you the land. The land in the Middle East belongs to God. And God leased it out to the Hebrews, to the children of Israel, as long as they followed the Torah. And they did that on and off for about 1,400 years. And then finally, in 70 AD, according to Deuteronomy 28, you can read it for yourself, God said, you know what, I've had enough. And then he kicked the Jews out of the Promised Land because they rejected the Torah.
