According to The Bible, 600,000 fighting men entered Canaan with Joshua. When counting women, children, the elderly and infirm and the priestly tribe of Levi, this number would have exceeded two and a half million people. In addition, the Hebrews are said to have had livestock.
However, the clear majority of scholars is reported to say that there never was a military conquest of Canaan as described in the Bible. The Hebrew people were actually dissident Canaanites who left the coastal cities to live in the sparsely settled mountainous hinterland.

How did the Hebrews cross the Jordan into Canaan?
Answer 1They didn't. The Jordan River is on the eastern border of Israel. The Ancient Hebrews entered from the South, through the desert.(Unless you are talking about Abraham's family, in which case, they did come from the East, but the Torah doesn't mention anything about how they crossed the river).Answer 2Although the Israelites entered what is today Israel through the Negev desert, they actually crossed into what is today Jordan and then crossed over the Jordan from the east. (This is the "long-way 'round".) This is recounted in the early part of the Book of Joshua and they crossed on dry land, similar to the crossing of the Reed Sea.As concerns Abraham's entry into Canaan, it is presumed that he entered Canaan via Lebanon and therefore would have been consistently west of the Jordan River.
