The exact date is still in dispute. The synthesis of Archaeological, Historical, and Biblical
research by most scholars places the date somewhere between 1400 and 1300 BCE.
Through conquests, exiles, and foreign occupations, there has nevertheless been
some Jewish presence there continuously since then. The basis for the declaration
of the modern State of Israel was reaffirmed by the majority vote in the General
Assembly of the United Nations in November 1947, six months before the formal
declaration.

Answer:
When God promised it to Abraham and Isaac (Genesis ch.17).
There are many tens of such verses. Here is a partial list:

  • Genesis 13:14-17 And the Lord said unto Abram... "Lift up your eyes, and look...northward and southward and eastward and westward. All the land which you see, to you I will give it, and to your seed forever...Arise, walk through the land..for unto you I will give it."
  • Genesis 17:8,18,19 "And I will give unto you (Abraham), and to your seed after you...all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. ...And Abraham said unto God: 'would that Ishmael might live in Your presence!' And God said: 'No; Sarah shall bear you a son; and you shall name him Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.' "
  • Genesis 21:2,3,12 "And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son...And Abraham...named his son Isaac....And God said unto Abraham...'through Isaac shall it be called your seed.' "
  • Genesis 26:1-3 "And Isaac went unto Abimelech...And the Lord appeared to him, and said...'Sojourn in this land...unto your seed I will give all these lands.' "
  • In Genesis ch.25: Isaac has two sons, Jacob and Esau. In Genesis 35:9-12 "And God appeared unto Jacob...and He called his name Israel...And God said unto him...'the land which I gave unto Abraham and Isaac, to you I will give it, and to your seed.' "
  • Exodus 3:7,8 "And the Lord said (to Moses): 'I have seen the affliction of My people in Egypt, and ... I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land...unto the place of the Canaanites...' "
  • Numbers 33:51-54 "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say....'unto you I have given the land to possess it; and you shall inherit the land.' "
