Chosen People (Judaism)

The Promised Land, the land of the divine covenant with Abraham and his descendants, symbolizes for the Jewish people a sacred space of hope, mission, and fidelity to the Torah. Historically located in Canaan, it is both a geographical and spiritual place, marked by God's promise, Moses' journey to Mount Nebo, and the subsequent conquest led by Joshua. Beyond conflicts and exiles, it remains a central symbol of faith, identity, and messianic return, inviting a just and fraternal life.
