It signifies a heritage or legacy that is passed down through generations. In the biblical context, it frequently pertains to the land of Canaan, which God promised to the Israelites as an everlasting possession.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, land was a critical component of identity and survival. It was not merely a place to live but a divine gift and a sign of God's covenant with His people. The concept of inheritance was deeply embedded in the social and legal systems, ensuring that land remained within families and tribes. This was crucial for maintaining the economic stability and social structure of the Israelite community.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
