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.

Answer:
Slavery is often termed "the peculiar institution," but it was hardly peculiar to the United States. Almost every society in the history of the world has experienced slavery at one time or another. The aborigines of Australia are about the only group that has so far not revealed a past mired in slavery—and perhaps the omission has more to do with the paucity of the evidence than anything else. To explore American slavery in its full international context, then, is essentially to tell the history of the globe. That task is not possible in the available space, so this essay will explore some key antecedents of slavery in North America and attempt to show what is distinctive or unusual about its development. The aim is to strike a balance between identifying continuities in the institution of slavery over time while also locating significant changes. The trick is to suggest preconditions, anticipations, and connections without implying that they were necessarily determinations (1).
