God never called the land ‘Palestine’

That’s true. The land was given the name Palestine by the Roman emperor Hadrian as a deliberate insult to Jews. The name was derived from Israel’s ancient, extinct enemy, the Philistines.

I’ll take Bible words for $2000 Alex:

H6429 פְּלֶשֶׁת pᵊlešeṯ Palestina, Philistia, Philistine, Palestine

G2542 Καισάρεια kaisareia Caesarea (of Palestine), Caesarea (Philippi)

closest words in the scripture for Palestine.

Apparently God did not have enough ink left for the scribes to write the word Palestine in His Holy words. We’ll just stick with the land of Israel.
