Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis gēn Israēl {εἰς γῆν Ἰσραήλ | eis gēn Israēl} uses eis plus the accusative to show motion toward a goal, and the territorial label gēn Israēl {γῆν Ἰσραήλ | gēn Israēl} signals not just movement but restoration to the proper land. In English, the participle is best rendered as a temporal opening so the sequence remains clear without forcing a heavier clause structure.
Root and etymology
