Charles Ellicott Commentary Exodus 6:4

"And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojournings, wherein they sojourned." — Exodus 6:4 (ASV)

My covenant. See Genesis 15:18-21; Genesis 17:7–8; Genesis 26:3–4; Genesis 35:12, etc.

The land of Canaan. Canaan proper was the area between Sidon and Gaza (Genesis 10:19), which is now considered “Palestine”; but the region promised to Abraham, and included in a broader sense of the word “Canaan,” was much more extensive, reaching from the Nile to the Euphrates (Genesis 15:18). This vast territory was actually possessed by Israel under David and Solomon (1 Kings 4:21–24).

The land of their pilgrimage, in which they were strangers. Hebrew: The land of their sojournings, in which they sojourned. (Genesis 23:4; Genesis 28:4.) Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob occupied Canaan only by permission; they were allowed to dwell in it because it was sparsely populated. However, ownership was recognised as belonging to the Canaanite nations, Hittites and others (Genesis 20:15; Genesis 23:3–20, etc.).
