The journey from Egypt to Canaan symbolizes God's deliverance and guidance.

The land was not earned by the Israelites but was a gift from God, emphasizing His covenantal faithfulness. This act of giving is a fulfillment of the Abrahamic Covenant (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>).
