Genesis 15.18 says “from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates.” By the “river of Egypt” is supposed to be meant a wadi in the eastern part of the Sinai peninsula (not far to the west of the current Israeli border). I don’t know of any passage that includes Mesopotamia in the land promised to Abraham’s descendants.
