[Age of Reason]

No inheritance in Israel is to pass from tribe to tribe, for every Israelite shall keep the tribal land inherited from his forefathers.

That wasn't the quote I was thinking of.

I seem to remember something about God ordaining that the people of Israel will no longer have a land on this earth, because they had commited some sin.

And this would have been said by God after Israel had lost their land.

I could remember wrong, though.

"That wasn't the quote I was thinking of."

I know it isn't. Look I don't necessarily feel to cast my pearls before swine but I will attempt to enlighten you a bit...

What you're seeking for [in order to justify your false position] is God's warning to the people of Israel that if they disobeyed his commands and worshiped other Gods...then he would scatter them and remove them from the land promised to them...

...with the caveat...

...that if they repented of their ways, sought his face and turned from their wicked ways then he would gather them from the farthest horizon back to their land he originally promised to them as a covenant [as has been done several times throughout history...thus confirming the promise.].

Nehemiah 1;8 "Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, 'If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.' "They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand.

You've had plenty of time to try to find some other angle....found one?
