The Land

We destroyed generations before your time on account of the wrongs they did;  their apostles came to them with veritable signs, but they would not believe.  Thus shall We reward the guilty.  Then We made you their successors in the land, so that We might observe how you would conduct yourselves.

Yunus     Jonah  10:13-14

Land promised to Jacob - Israel

Gen 28:10-17

10 Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran. 11 So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. 12 Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13 And behold, the LORD stood above it and said: "I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants. 14 Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed. 15 Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you." 16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it." 17 And he was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!"

Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body. 12 The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your descendants after you I give this land." 13 Then God went up from him in the place where He talked with him.

Moses and the Exodus from Egypt

To Moses We gave nine clear signs.  Ask the Israelites how he first appeared among them.

 

Pharaoh said to him:  “Moses, I can see that you are bewitched.”

 

“You know full well,” he replied, “that none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth has revealed these visible signs.  Indeed, Pharaoh, I can see that you are doomed.”

 

He sought to scare them out of the land:  but We drowned him, together with all who were with him.  Then We said to the Israelites:  “Dwell in the land.  When the promise of the hereafter comes to be fulfilled, We shall assemble you all together.”

The Night Journey  17:97-17:103
