'Possess' in the Bible

then listen from heaven and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel. Certainly you will then teach them the right way to live and send rain on your land that you have given your people to possess.

He prayed: "O Lord God of our ancestors, you are the God who lives in heaven and rules over all the kingdoms of the nations. You possess strength and power; no one can stand against you.

and lo, they are recompensing to us -- to come in to drive us out of Thy possession, that Thou hast caused us to possess.
