God's covenant with Abraham, according to Israelite belief, was to make Abraham a truly great nation, bless Abraham and his name, and bring hell upon anyone who curses him. He blessed anyone who is linked to Abraham. Any of Abraham's descendants were to be given the land from the River Nile to Euphrates, and this land was to be referred to as the Promised land, or the Land of Israel. Abraham was also to be made the father of nations, and the whole land of Canaan was to be given to them. The sign of this promise to Abraham and his male descendants is known as the brit milah, and refers to the practice of male circumcision in the Jewish religion.
