AnswerThe apparent size of the Promised Land differs in various parts of the Bbile. However, if the Promised Land was the land of the Canaanites, then modern Israel is much larger. For example, the Canaanites did not occupy the Negev Desert, from which Exodus says the Israelites travelled on their way to the Promised Land. Nor did the land of the Canaanites include Philistia - the coastal strip and foothills north from the Egyptian border to approximately where Tel Aviv is today.

Ancient Israel and Judah actually occupied a quite small area, based on the mountainous hinterland and the Jezreel Valley.

Why was the land of the Hebrew's important?

The Promised Land, or Holy Land was the region of land in which God promised to Abraham's descendants (see Genesis 17). God promised to make Abraham into a father of nations through his son Isaac and make his descendants "extremely fruitful." God later appeared to Abraham's grandson Jacob (Genesis 28:13-15) and promised him this land also, because it was through Jacob's descendants that the promise would be fulfilled (Jacob was later named Israel - the nation which would take the promised land). The promise was fulfilled when Israel finally took the promised land which God told them to go and enjoy (Deuteronomy 1:8). It's a great account of faith, hope, and God's unfailing love.
