jan 1, 1943 BC - Abraham enters Canaan

Description:

Abraham entered Canaan after God commanded him to leave his homeland and go to the land that would be shown to him. This marks the beginning of the covenantal story of the Jewish people. God promised Abraham that his descendants would become a great nation and inherit the land. From a Jewish perspective, Abraham’s journey into Canaan is one of the most important turning points in history, because it begins the special relationship between God, the Land of Israel, and the people of Israel.
