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.
