What is promised land?
The Promised Land in the Bible is the region of Canaan, corresponding roughly to modern-day Israel and Palestine, that God pledged to give as an inheritance to Abraham and his descendants.
God first promised the land to Abraham (then Abram) in Genesis 12:7, telling him, "To your descendants I will give this land".
The promise was passed down through Abraham's son Isaac and grandson Jacob (later named Israel), whose twelve sons became the heads of the twelve tribes of Israel.
Scripture often describes it as a "land flowing with milk and honey," signifying a fertile place rich in agriculture and livestock.
