From the "River of Egypt" to the Euphrates, the Bible describes a vast territory. But what does that actually look like on a modern map? In this episode, we use satellite imagery and GIS overlays to compare the biblical boundaries of the Land of Israel—from Genesis to Numbers—with today's political borders. We explore how ancient topographical descriptions, like Wadi El-Arish and Lebo-Hamath, reveal a vision of the land that is both expansive and deeply rooted in geography.
