Genesis 13:15

The land that Abram saw was *Canaan. God had brought Abram from Haran to *Canaan. Abram had gone to Egypt, but he had returned to *Canaan. Later, Abram’s *descendants went to Egypt for 400 years. But they returned to *Canaan. *Canaan became the country of God’s people and it was called ‘the land of Israel’.
