The Jews and the Israelites to their north are traditionally believed to have migrated there from Egypt, where they had been enslaved. It is also traditionally believed that centuries earlier their single forefather migrated from the city of Ur in Mesopotamia. Historians say these legends are not really true, and that the forefathers of the Jewish people were Canaanites who migrated from the region of the rich coastal cities and settled peacefully in the hitherto sparsely settled hinterland.
