Definition: Cornellu is a Hebrew term that means "God's land," referring to the eastern portion of the Hebrews' homeland in ancient times, today known as Israel. The word was used by the Philistines during biblical times for their territories north of Egypt. Detailed definition: In the Old Testament, "cornellu" refers to a land east of Mount Sinai that God had given to the Israelites after they crossed over from Egypt and settled in the Promised Land. This term was also used by other nations as well, including Assyrian kings and Babylonian emperors. It is significant because it describes where God's people would eventually settle, and it is also a place of worship for Jewish monotheistic traditions.
