Editing Promised Land (section)

=== Subsequent confirmations ===
God later confirms the promise to Abraham's son [[Isaac]] ({{bibleverse|Genesis|26:3|NIV}}), and then to Isaac's son [[Jacob]] ({{bibleverse|Genesis|28:13|NIV}}) in terms of "the land on which you are lying". Jacob is later renamed "[[Israel (name)|Israel]]" ({{bibleverse|Genesis|32:28|NIV}}) and his descendants are called the Children of Israel or the [[Twelve Tribes of Israel]].

The Torah's subsequent [[Book of Exodus]] describes it as "land flowing with milk and honey" ({{bibleverse|Exodus|3:17|}}) and gives verses on how to treat the prior occupants and marks the borders in terms of the [[Red Sea]], the "Sea of the [[Philistines]]", and the "River", which a modern English Bible translates to:
: "I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the [[Mediterranean Sea]], and from the desert to the [[Euphrates]] River. I will give into your hands the people who live in the land, and you will drive them out before you. Do not make a covenant with them or with their gods. Do not let them live in your land or they will cause you to sin against me, because the worship of their gods will certainly be a snare to you." – {{bibleverse|Exodus|23:31-33|NIV}}

The [[Israelites]] lived in a smaller area of former [[Canaan]]ite land and land east of the [[Jordan River]] after the legendary prophet [[Moses]] led the Israelite Exodus out of [[Biblical Egypt|Egypt]] ({{bibleverse|Numbers|34:1-12|NIV}}). The Torah's [[Book of Deuteronomy]] presents this occupation as their God's fulfillment of the promise ({{bibleverse|Deuteronomy|1:8|NIV}}). Moses anticipated that their God might subsequently give the Israelites land reflecting the boundaries of the original promise – if they were obedient to the [[Covenant (biblical)|covenant]] ({{bibleverse|Deuteronomy|19:8-9|NIV}}).
