Genesis 13:17
“Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 13Meaning
Abram is told to move through the promised land as a pilgrim who has received God's word without yet possessing the territory in full.
Read carefully
Walking the land belongs to Abram's narrative and should not be copied as a ritual for acquiring modern property or national territory.
Reflection
Faith can involve moving attentively through what has been promised while still living without full possession.
