`Go Forth to the Land That I Will Show You`
The beginning of the history of the children of Israel as told in the Bible dates back to Abraham, the first Patriarch, who lived in Mesopotamia around the 17th century B.C.E. Heeding the words of the Lord, he took his wife, Sarah, and his nephew, Lot, and departed for a new Land. `When they arrived in the land of Canan, Abraham passed through the land as far as the site of Shechem, at the oak of Moreh.` (Genesis 12:5-6). Why specify that Abraham camped `at the oak of Moreh`? The sentence which follows is the key: `The Canananites were then in the land.`
Abraham came into Canaan with `cattle, silver and gold.` (Genesis 13:2) Had he camped near the existing Caanite settlements, his flocks would have caused great damage to the local crops.
