The Promised Land has another name: the Holy Land. Tradition teaches that it is the best land for the service of God. Adam and Eve are buried there (in Hebron), and the Holy Temple was built there (in Jerusalem). It was called "a pleasant land, the goodliest heritage of the nations" (Jeremiah ch.3), because all the nations recognized its special status. It was (and is) "a land which the Lord your God cares for; the eyes of the Lord your God are always upon it (Deuteronomy ch.11)." Therefore, it was the ideal place for the Israelites to fulfill their covenant with God; and that's why He gave them that land (Exodus ch.6).
