This noun describes possession or ownership, particularly of land. Stephen recounts God's promise to Abraham: 'He gave him no inheritance in [the land], not even a foot's length, but promised to give it to him as a possession (κατάσχεσιν), and to his offspring after him' (Acts 7:5). Later, Stephen says God 'drove out the nations before our fathers' so that they could bring the tabernacle 'into the land which they took possession (κατασχέσει) of under Joshua' (Acts 7:45). The term connects God's promises to Israel's eventual settlement in Canaan, emphasizing both the gift and the fulfillment of possession.
