The Promised Land is a term used in the Bible to refer to a specific region of land that God promised and gave to His chosen people, the Israelites, as part of their heritage. The concept of the Promised Land originates from a religious narrative written in the Hebrew religious text, the Torah. The Abrahamic God is claimed to have promised land to Abraham, the legendary patriarch of the Israelite tribes, in several verses of Genesis, which a modern English Bible translates to: "The LORD had said to Abram, Leave your country, your people and your fathers household and go to the land I will show you". The Promised Land was placed in ancient Canaan, on the eastern side of the Mediterranean Sea. The land was a fertile area with brooks and deep springs that gushed out into the valleys and hills, producing wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, and olives. The Promised Land is not only a geographical backdrop but also acts as a picture of covenant faithfulness as Gods people journey towards it. The term Promised Land has also been applied to any type of satisfying achievement or a state of realized dreams.
