Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -God instructed Abraham to leave his home and travel to Canaan, the Promised Land, which is today known as Israel.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Israelites occupied and conquered Palestine, or Canaan, beginning in the late 2nd millennium bce, or perhaps earlier; and the Bible justifies such occupation by identifying Canaan with the Promised Land, the land promised to the Israelites by God.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Genesis, God promised Abraham that his descendants would inherit the land of Canaan, so Canaan became known as The Promised Land. Modern Israel and Palestine encompass the majority of Canaan. Abraham’s grandson was Jacob, whose name was changed to “Israel” by God.
