∙ 9y agoThe Torah actually gives Israel as a birthright of the Israelites (who are now the Jews) quite clearly in the below passages:
Genesis 15:18-21 -- In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: (the territory of) the Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Genesis 35:10-12 -- God said to him, "Your name is Jacob, but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel." So he named him Israel. And God said to him, "I am God Almighty; be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body. The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you."
Deuteronomy 34:4 -- "This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, 'I will give it to your offspring'"
