The Promised Land (Hebrew: הארץ המובטחת, translit.: ha-Aretz ha-Muvtachat) is another name for the Land of Israel, the region which, according to the Hebrew Bible, was promised by God to descendants of Abraham, through his son Isaac, and to the Israelites, descendants of Jacob, Abraham's grandson in the Abrahamic Covenant.
The territory in Genesis 15:18 is specified as extending "from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates river" and included the lands of ten nations that lived there during the time of Abraham. The boundaries given in the Numbers chapter 34 refer only to Canaan, and not to the original covenant which includes the canaanites as one of the ten nations who's lands would be ultimately included in the Promised Land. The extent is not clear[1] as later in Genesis 17:8 the "land of Canaan" only is mentioned.
However, the word canaan also has the meaning of merchant or trader[2], and may refer to the area that was an important trading region connecting Mesopotamia, Anatolia and North Africa. Even prior to the conquest of Canaan, Abraham had been told to live in the land, and had resided in Hebron[3] and Beersheba, taking advantage of the two locations being situated close to, or on the major trade route between Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt.
The conquest of the Promised Land did not take place in one historical continuity, but went on from the initial conquest under the leadership of Joshua, through to the wars of the Judges, and the conquests of King David when it gained the largest territorial extent.[4] While the land never attained the extent of territory promissed originally, the extent of influence by Israel during the reign of King Solomon extended as far as the Iberian Peninsula, India and coasts of Africa.[5] The name of the Iberian Peninsula and the river Ebro both allude to the Ibri that is still reflected in the Mishpat Ivri of the modern law in Israel.
The idea of the Promised Land was retained deep in the Jewish consciousness throughout the residence in Egypt, and later the exile, and the later Jewish diaspora.
