I speak Hebrew and you’re not 100% correct here. “Eretz yisrael” (land of Israel) is mentioned in the Torah and all sorts of other religious texts. There’s also the word “Yerushalayim”, which is Jerusalem. That’s mentioned a lot as well.

I’m stretching my memory here but from what I recall this wasn’t based only on the Torah, but on traditional Jewish philosophical thought as well; I couldn’t tell you whether this was, say, 11th or 18th century philosophy, though.

Ya the phrase is definitely from 1400s or so Jewish philosophy, not strictly from the Torah. You can think of it as Ashkenazi DLC
