Land of Palestine and Syria at the time
of the Old Testament Patriarchs

Land of Palestine at the time of the Old Testament Patriarchs.  The name Palestine was given to these lands by the Romans when emperor Hadrian brutally suppressed the Jewish resistance movement and occupied Judea.
 
The name and borders of what is today called Palestine have varied throughout history. The name of this area, before it was called Palestine, originally denoted only the seacoast of the land of Canaan inhabited by the Philistines. The name Palestine itself was given to these lands by the Romans around 135 A.D. when emperor Hadrian brutally suppressed the Jewish resistance movement and occupied Judea.
