Canaan

The region roughly corresponding to modern Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and parts of Jordan and Syria. God promised it to Abraham (Genesis 12), and after 400 years in Egypt and 40 years in the wilderness, Israel entered under Joshua. Canaan was already occupied by various peoples (Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, etc.), and the conquest narratives are some of the most challenging passages in the Bible. Theologically, Canaan represents God's faithfulness to His promises.
