What were the boundaries of the land promised in the Abrahamic Covenant?
The Abrahamic Covenant promised land extending to the Euphrates River, then back down to the Red Sea, and back up to the River of Egypt. The Euphrates is described as running from southeastern Turkey down to the Persian Gulf, though Solomon did not possess all of it.
Les explains that the Abrahamic Covenant's land grant reaches all the way to the Euphrates River, then comes back down to the Red Sea, and then back up to the River of Egypt. He notes that the Euphrates runs from southeastern Turkey down to the Persian Gulf. Under Solomon, Israel reached its greatest height and gained more territory than anyone before or after him, but Solomon still did not get all that the covenant promised.
