Abrahamic Covenant

The book of Genesis records how God spoke to Abraham in a vision. God told Abraham to leave his home in Mesopotamia and travel far away to the land of Canaan, the ‘Promised Land’.  Genesis repeatedly refers to God’s offer of a Promised Land for Abraham and his descendants:

The whole of the land of Canaan … I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants.
— Genesis 17:8
