Paper 3
The land of Canaan promised by God to Abraham and his descendants, which remains important to Jewish religious identity and hope.
Revise: CovenantGod also promises the whole land of Canaan, where Abraham is living as a foreigner, as an everlasting possession for him and his descendants. This is the Promised Land. The land is important because it connects the covenant to a home and future for the Jewish people: the promise concerns a community, not just Abraham as an individual.
