There was no single country of Canaan in biblical times, but rather a series of city states. The West Semitic people of biblical times occupied most of what is now Israel and the Palestinian Territories, Syria, Lebanon and western Jordan.
The Canaanites of The Bible mainly lived along the northern coast and the northern inland areas of Palestine, while the Hebrew people more or less lived in what is now the West Bank, although borders expanded and contracted with the fortunes of history.
