## About this book

All the Boundaries of the Land: The Promised Land in Biblical Thought in Light of the Ancient Near East examines the conceptual borders of the Promised Land within the Hebrew Bible. This volume 1 work of biblical teaching and religion analyzes these descriptions not as geographical documents, but as literary texts shaped by specific ideological agendas. Nili Wazana explores how various literary genres and devices define the dimensions and significance of the land.

This study of the Old Testament and ancient Middle Eastern literature focuses on the interface between history, geography, and ideology. Rather than providing maps, the text investigates the motives of biblical authors and the literary tools used to describe Palestine in the Bible. It offers a scholarly interpretation of the Old Testament, prioritizing the ideological framework of the biblical texts over historical territorial changes.
