The patriarchs' story in Canaan stretches across the hill country, the Negev, and the routes linking the land to Egypt and Mesopotamia. Places such as Shechem, Bethel, Mamre/Hebron, and Beersheba are marked as sites where Abraham, Isaac, or Jacob built altars, showing their worship of the LORD as they lived as sojourners in the land God promised to their descendants. The map also highlights key family events: Abraham and Isaac's stays near Gerar, Hagar's flight toward Beer-lahai-roi, Lot's separation from Abraham and settlement near Sodom, etc. Together, these locations show how the patriarchs moved through Canaan by faith, often facing danger, family conflict, and uncertainty, while God continued to preserve His covenant promises through them.
