The History of the Children of Israel in the Holy Land

The children of Israel are the descendants of Prophet Ya’qoob (Jacob) who was the son of Prophet Ishaaq (Isaac), son of Prophet Ibraaheem (Abraham), peace be upon them all. Their history in the Holy land started when Prophet Ibraaheem, peace be upon him, migrated from Iraaq to Shaam (which comprises of modern day Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan and parts of Iraq and Saudi Arabia) where his son Prophet Ishaaq and grandson Prophet Ya’qoob were born. In Shaam Ya’qoob’s two wives gave birth to twelve of his children, who he subsequently migrated with to Egypt due to Shaam being struck with famine for many years. This migration was in response to the invitation of his son Prophet Yoosuf (Joseph), peace be upon him.
The children of Israelstayed in Egypt for two hundred years and suffered from much oppression from the Pharaohs during that time.

    The richness and consistency of the annual Nile River flood, combined with isolation due to the deserts of the east and west, are leading factors into why Egypt is one of the world’s great civilizations. On the other hand, Israel’s strategic location has played an important role in world history, despite its small size and lack of resources. Although the imperial structures of Ancient Egypt and Israel have historical similarities in political and social hierarchy such as a monarchic systems of government and grave respect for their women, they have distinct differences that distinguish them from each other such as religion and their beliefs.…

    It was during this time during their captivity, of almost 60 years, that the majority of biblical historians and scholars now claim that the history, concepts and formation of the Hebrew religion began. Also, during their stay in Babylon, the Judeans were exposed to the stories and mythologies of the various and older Mesopotamian cultures such as the Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians and Babylonians. No doubt that during their captivity of almost 60 years in Babylon the Judeans increased the size of their community with new…

    Before Moses was born, the children of Israel were living in slavery in Egypt. The Pharaoh was afraid of the numbers and put out an order to have all of the male children killed that were being born by the Israelites ("Bibleknowledge.com", 2005-2014). This all was happening when Moses was born and his mother was a Hebrew. His mother hid him for a while but it got too dangerous so she put him in a basket and sent him down the Nile in…

    Around 926 b.c., the kingdom of Israel split in two. Up to that point, all twelve tribes of Israel (plus the priestly tribe of Levi) had been united under the monarchies of Saul, David, and Solomon. But when Solomon’s son Rehoboam ascended to the throne, the ten Northern tribes rebelled and seceded from the union. This left only two tribes—Judah and Benjamin (plus much of Levi)—under the control of the king in Jerusalem. From that time on, the tribes were divided into two nations, which came to be called the House of Israel (the Northern ten tribes) and the House of Judah (the Southern two tribes).…

    In at least one branch of their descendants the Semitic peoples of Babylonia still live. Ancient Babylon has disappeared, and its land has become a waste, inhabited by a feeble folk bearing little or no kinship to the mighty race of earth's first empire builders. But the Hebrews of today are the living tree that has sprung from that marvelous root of Babylonian culture, character, and religion.…

    Children of Gaza

    • 265 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The war at Gaza affected so many innocent lives, including the children and also the pregnant women. After watching the interview I felt really sad for the children who got killed and also for those who got injured/wounded. Knowing that there were hundreds of children that died in Gaza, hurts me so much.There were over a thousand children living there before, but now it's only down to less than 350 children. The people in Gaza cannot take refuge in other countries, they are just stuck in their own country where death is almost a part of their everyday lives. Pregnant women couldn't even get the medical attention they really need. The hospitals are always full of injured people and sometimes they are lacking the room for pregnant women who needs to give birth. Another issue is that the power outtage happens often, the babies who are supported by machines are also in great danger. The children, pregnant women, and the babies are all affected by the war. The children shouldn't be affected by this, they can't even play, watch the television or even get a decent education. They don't have anything to do than to hide from all the danger that the outside world brings. The sad thing about this is that almost everybody will have this experience with them throughout their entire lives, they will have to live with it. I hope that the people in Gaza, and especially the children, can get through this and I hope they can recover. My prayers are always with…
