In the Hebrew Bible there are two competing concepts on the subject of land. Deuteronomistic theology speaks of a triad of one God, one people, and one land. In the political sphere, this results in an extremely nationalistic model. It has a tendency toward ethnic cleansing. The other concept arose from the description of historical reality. Israel has never been able to possess the land on its own. In this, the representatives of this other concept have recognized the will of God, according to which Israel should live in community with its God alongside other peoples in the same land. Only this second concept can be the basis for an equal coexistence of the two peoples of Israel and Palestine in the same land today.

摘要

In the Hebrew Bible there are two competing concepts on the subject of land. Deuteronomistic theology speaks of a triad of one God, one people, and one land. In the political sphere, this results in an extremely nationalistic model. It has a tendency toward ethnic cleansing. The other concept arose from the description of historical reality. Israel has never been able to possess the land on its own. In this, the representatives of this other concept have recognized the will of God, according to which Israel should live in community with its God alongside other peoples in the same land. Only this second concept can be the basis for an equal coexistence of the two peoples of Israel and Palestine in the same land today.
