Best Answer

The Book of Joshua talks of the conquest of the land of the Canaanites by the Israelites under the leadership of Joshua.

The Book of Judges contains a fragmentary account of the conquest of the same cities by the tribe of Judah under the leadership of Caleb, because the Lord said that the people of Judah would conquer the Canaanites.

There seem to have been two early traditions about the conquest of Canaan, the Joshua one passed on in the northern kingdom of Israel and the Caleb one passed on in the southern kingdom of Judah. Probably only a small part of the Judahite tradition has been preserved.

How did the Israelites end up in Canaan?

A:The Bible says that God had promised the land of the Canaanites to the children of Abraham. After a long sojourn in Egypt, during which they were enslaved, the Israelites escaped in a great Exodus across the Red Sea and then wandered in the wilderness for forty years. Under the great military leader, Joshua, they conquered Canaan and massacred the people, as told in the Book of Joshua. Fragments of another story, in which the conquest took place under Caleb, can also be found in Judges chapter 1. Archaeology tells a different story in which the Israelites emerged from among the local Bronze age Canaanites. It is now the consensus of scholars that there was no Exodus from Egypt, as described in the Bible, and that the Hebrew people were originally Canaanites who left the region of the rich coastal cities to migrate to the hitherto sparsely populated Canaanite hinterland.The Oxford History of the Biblical World says that intensive archaeological research since the 1970s has demonstrated a gradual proliferation of small rural settlements concentrated in the hill country of southern Canaan from around 1200, the beginning of Iron Age I (Carol A. Redmount, Bitter lives).

Why does God make promises to the Patriarchs and then delay their implementation for centuries?

The covenant with Abraham was supposedly made prior to 1800 BCE, but the Bible tells us that the Israelites only invaded Canaan in 1400 BCE, to fulfil that promise. Historically, there is no evidence of the Israelites until around 1200 BCE, and scholars now say that they did not invade Canaan or even arrive peacefully - Israel evolved peacefully from within the Canaan peoples.The Book of Genesis, which tells of that covenant, was only written during the first millennium BCE, a thousand years after the story of Abraham. The question must therefore be whether God really made promises to the Patriarchs at all. Andrew D. H. Mayes (The World of Ancient Israel, Sociology and the Old Testament) says that some recent study of Israelite religion show that it is most unlikely that early Israel considered herself to stand in a covenant relationship with Yahweh. This was a notion that developed over a longer time and long after Israel was a settled society and the people had forgotten its origins.
