No, there isn't, palestinians not being invented till the 1960s. As I noted, todays Israel is a secular state, not biblical Israel, perhaps it will be soon, but your statement that the borders of Israel aren't defined in the Tanakh is absurd.

1. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2. Command the children of Israel and say to them, When you arrive in the land of Canaan, this is the land which shall fall to you as an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to its borders.

3. Your southernmost corner shall be from the desert of Zin along Edom, and the southern border shall be from the edge of the Sea of Salt [the Dead Sea] to the east.

4. The border then turns south of Maaleh Akrabim [elevation of Akrabim], passing toward Zin, and its ends shall be to the south of Kadesh barnea. Then it shall extend to Hazar addar and continue toward Azmon.

5.The border then turns from Azmon to the stream of Egypt, and its ends shall be to the sea.

6.The western border: it shall be for you the Great [Mediterranean] Sea and the border this shall be your western border.

7. This shall be your northern border: From the Great [Mediterranean] Sea turn yourselves toward Mount Hor.

8.From Mount Hor turn to the entrance of Hamath, and the ends of the border shall be toward Zedad.

9.The border shall then extend to Ziphron, and its ends shall be Hazar enan; this shall be your northern border.

10.You shall then turn yourselves toward the eastern border, from Hazar enan to Shepham

: 11 The border descends from Shepham toward Riblah, to the east of Ain. Then the border descends and hits the eastern shore of Lake Kinnereth.

12. The border then continues down along the Jordan, and its ends is the Sea of Salt [the Dead Sea]; this shall be your Land according to its borders around.

13. Moses commanded the children of Israel saying, "This is the Land which you are to apportion for inheritance through lot, that the Lord has commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes.
