Genesis 23:20

The field and the cave were established as Abraham's property, as a burial place, by the sons of Heth.
[This is the first and only piece of land in Israel that legally becomes the property of the Jews through Abraham. It can be regarded as a first fruit and assurance that the rest of God's promise concerning the land will also be fulfilled. This happens when the people take the land under Joshua's leadership 300 years later. However, the full borders mentioned in the Bible have never been in Jewish possession; they are probably the borders Israel will have during the millennial kingdom.]
