Based on the Torah’s description, the Promised Land spans from the Nile River to the Euphrates River, covering an area that could range from approximately 300,000 to 800,000 square kilometers, depending on interpretation and specific boundaries. This vastly exceeds modern Israel's area of about 21,000 square kilometers, suggesting that the full Promised Land could be 10-30 times the size of Israel today. These estimates vary due to differing interpretations of the exact borders described in biblical texts, but they consistently cover portions of modern Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and Iraq.
