Is the existence of the Jewish people supernatural?
It is known that a group of people is defined as a nation if there are four criteria (at least one of them): a common place, a common culture, a common history, and a common language.
And seemingly, it seems that the people of Israel lack all of them. He was born in the desert (a sign that he has no place, which is to say that he really has no place during the entire exile that is most of his past), he was born before the giving of the Torah (that is, before there was culture), each community has its own history and its own language (so that the people of Israel do not have a history and a fluent language).
Can we conclude from this that the existence of the people of Israel stems from a supreme being (God) who willed its existence?

1. A natural people is as we defined it
2. The people of Israel are a people
3. The people of Israel do not meet the definition we defined
Therefore, the people of Israel are supernatural (its existence is an existence by the grace of God, a sign that there is a God).
EA, Assumption 1: Justify it. Why is the naturalness of a people limited to this definition? Good luck!
These are definitions and word games.
You mix with regular and with natural.
I understand, thank you.
