Land of the Living (epithet)

In several places in the Hebrew Bible (or Christian Old Testaments) the Jerusalem Temple is given the epithet, "the land of the living".

This phrase expressed the attribute of the Jerusalem Temple, as a place where the faithful had access to the life-giving presence of God.

Examples from the Catholic Old Testament are, Isaiah 38:11, Psalms 27:13 and Psalms 116:9.
