A:There is no suggestion in The Bible, particularly in the Book of Joshua, that the Canaanites were in need of changing thier ways. The Bible describes them as helpful to the Patriarchs before the Egyptian sojourn, and attributes no great evil to the Canaanites as a nation. The story simply says that the Israelites wanted their land, believed that it had been promised to them by their God, and so went in and took it. The Book of Joshua actually portrays the Canaanites as the innocent victims and the Israelites as the genocidal invaders!

In defence of the Israelites, it is worth mentioning that most scholars now believe there was no Exodus from Egypt or military invasion of Canaan. They say that the Israelites were actually Canaanites themselves and that they migrated peacefully from the region of the rich coastal cities into the hitherto sparsely populated Canaanite hinterland. Long after they had forgotten their origins, the Hebrew people developed the legend of a glorious past and of great military victories.
