God told Abraham in prophecy to move to Canaan, which is where he raised his family, taught many disciples, entered into a covenant with God, became renowned as a godly prince, and concluded the founding of what later became called Judaism. Once Abraham reached Canaan, God promised to give him that land (Genesis 13), where the Israelites later lived for many centuries.See also:
