What was the original name of the country God promised to Abraham?

• A. Canaan
• B. Egypt
• C. Assyria
• D. Philistia

Answer: (A)

This question tests your recall of the land God promised to give to Abraham and his descendants. In Genesis, God tells Abram to leave his country and assures him that this land will belong to his offspring. That land is called Canaan, the region later known as the Promised Land. So the correct answer is Canaan. Egypt shows up in the story as a place they went during a famine, but it’s not the land God promised to Abraham. Assyria and Philistia are neighboring regions and aren’t the land singled out in this promise.
