ἦν τοῖς αὐτοῖς εὔλογον οἰκειοῦσθαι πάλιν; πῶς δὲ τὸν ἔθνους καὶ γένους ἑτέρου μέλλοντα ἡγεμόνα ἔσεσθαι προσκληροῦσθαι τῷ παλαιῷ; οὐ γὰρ ἂν ἐχαρίζετο καινὸν τρόπον τινὰ καὶ νέον ἔθνος καὶ γένος αὐτῷ ὁ θεός, εἰ μὴ τοῦ ἀρχαίου κατὰ τὸ παντελὲς ἀπεσχοίνιζεν.

On the question, Who is the Heir of Divine Things First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 2. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 278 focus

[278] For how can it be reasonable for him who was once been removed from his abode by the interference of Divine Providence, to return and dwell again in the same place? And how could it be reasonable for one who was about to be the leader of a new nation and of another race to be again assigned to his ancient one? For God would never have given to him a new character, and a new nation and family, if he had not wholly and entirely separated him from his ancient one.
