According to the Biblical narrative, the Israelites approached Palestine from the East (where Jordan is now). According to Archaeology, the Israelites were endemic to the Judean Highlands of Palestine (in what is now the West Bank and central Israel).

From where did the Israelites originally migrate to Palestine?

Biblical tradition says that Abraham travelled from the city of Ur in Mesopotamia to Palestine. Later, his descendants sojourned in Egypt before returning to Palestine. Scholars say that there is nothing in the Hebrew language or the early culture of Israel to suggest that the Israelites ever came from Mesopotamia or spent time as slaves in Egypt. They say that after 430 years in Egypt, the Israelites must have absorbed some words and customs from the Egyptians, yet their language was quite close to the West Semitic spoken by their nearest neighbours. The Israelites are now believed to have been Canaanite dissidents or refugees who migrated from the coastal cities into the mountainous hinterland during the turbulent thirteenth century BCE.
