'Soil' in the Bible

In the circuit of the Jordan hath the king cast them, in the thick soil of the ground, between Succoth and Zarthan.

then hear in heaven, forgive the sin of your people Israel, and return them to the soil that you gave to their ancestors.

For the Lord will strike Israel and the people will shake as a reed shakes in water. He will uproot Israel from this good soil that He gave to their ancestors. He will scatter them beyond the Euphrates because they made their Asherah poles, provoking the Lord.
