Whatever you call them in actual fact they are the holders to the title deed of the land. Not being Jewish I defer to your previous explanation as supposed fact. It is also possible the ancients go back as many as even 5 or 6 thousand years furthur nailing down the true owners and eliminating any pretenders or charlatans who make un-warranted claims to the land. All in all this will be interesting to follow and learn from, so keep it coming!

Thanks. I didn't mean to be picky, but definitions are so important in this arena, and misunderstanding is so rampant.
