In the beginning, God cast Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden because of a transgression (the Original Sin). Their descendants, all of humanity, shall eventually return to Eden if they follow the path of the prophets, who are messengers of God, one of them being Abraham.

Later, God sends his prophet to liberate the enslaved children from Egypt and lead them to the Promised Land, where they will have freedom, respect and prosperity. The Promised Land is actually the land where the slaves came from long ago, before they were enslaved. Going to the Promised Land is actually a return to the Promised Land. The tale of the Promised Land mirrors the tale of Eden: returning home to perfection.
