Genesis 15:18-21

Bible Text

[18] In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates: [19] the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, [20] the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, [21] the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites."

Ur of the Chaldeans lay in southern Mesopotamia, while Damascus was in Syria; Egypt marked the southwest boundary and the Euphrates the northeast. These places frame God’s covenant promise to Abram, defining the broad land granted to his descendants despite their present sojourning.
