>>Perhaps you mean the land of ISRAEL here.

I'm not sure of what the proper term is. I mean, what was is the generic
name for the area, regardless of political control? In other words, when
Abraham was a stranger in "the land", what was it called? That is why I
chose the word Palestine, hoping I had chosen the word that referred to
it as a region, not as a Jewish holding.
