Promised Land Part of God’s covenant with Israel through Abraham (Gen 12:1, 7; 13:15–17; 15:12–21). The promise is inherited by Isaac (Gen 26:3), Jacob (Gen 28:4, 13; 35:12), Joseph (Gen 48:4), and the rest of Jacob’s sons (Gen 46:1–4; 50:24). This land, resembling the Eden that God’s people had lost, would “flow with milk and honey” (Exod 3:8; Num 13:27; Deut 6:3). It is a land otherwise occupied, the land of Canaan, until God gives it as a possession to the Israelites as promised (Gen 12:5; 23:2; Exod 3:17; Lev 14:34; Deut 32:49).
