The land of Canaan was divided by the Israelites around the 12th century BCE, during the time of Joshua. This division happened after the Israelites had crossed the Jordan River and entered the land following the Exodus from Egypt.

Who was the military leader that led the Israelites into the promised land?

According to the Book of Joshua, the brilliant military commander, Joshua, led the Israelites to conquer Canaan, with the help of God.The strong consensus of modern historians is that the Israelites never conquered Canaan, that they were themselves rural Canaanites who migrated peacefully from the region of the rich coastal cities into the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland. Lawrence E. Stager says ('Forging an Identity', in The Oxford History of the Biblical World) of the thirty one cities said to be taken by Joshua and the Israelites, twenty have been plausibly identified with excavation sites. Of these, only Bethel and Hazor show evidence of cultural discontinuity consistent with an invasion, and it is even debated whether the destruction of Hazor XIII was as late as that of Late Bronze Age Bethel. There was no conquest of Canaan - the story of Joshua and his military genius evolved centuries later, to provide the Hebrew people with a glorious past.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/bible/the-book-of-joshua-explained

What significance does the number 450 have in the Bible?

The number 450 in the bible represented Israel's inheritance in Canaan. The spies that were sent out to inspect Canaan entered the land exactly 450 days after the Israelite new year had begun from the year previous. When the Israelites left Egypt, they did so on the 15th of Abib, which was 14 days after they had started their new Hebrew calendar. Fast forward 450 days from the beginning of their calender and you have the spies entering the Promised Land to inspect it. Check out Bible Prophecy Numbers to the timeline: Bible Prophecy Numbers,"Timeline of Events at the Exodus in Bible Prophecy," http://www.1260-1290-days-bible-prophecy.org/timeline-Exodus-bible-1260-days.htmThe spies returned 40 days later and gave an evil report of the land, which caused the Israelites to roam through the desert another 38 years. Why 38? Because they had already been in the desert for nearly 2 years, so they were punished with losing a year for every day of the 40 days they had been in Canaan but had refused to have faith and enter into their inheritance. In Joshua 14:9-11, we are told that it took the Israelites another five years to conquer the land and receive their inheritance, which meant that it took a total of 45 years to obtain their inheritance in the Promised Land (starting from their year 0 in Egypt). The Israelites ended up paying 10% down (45 is 10% of 450) on their inheritance in Canaan because of their unbelief. They paid that down in their lives, as none of the unbelievers who followed the report of the 10 evil spies. Therefore, the number 45 and 450 are connected to receiving or being denied ones inheritance.The 450 prophets of Baal had turned the inheritance of the Israelites back into an inheritance for the Canaanites, as Baal was their god his kingdom had turned the Promised Land into a desert. Therefore, just as Joshua and Caleb had to remove the giants and the evil Canaanites from the Promised Land, Elijah had to return to the Promised Land (he was in Canaan for 3.5 years while the land dried up) and cast down those who had restored the old gods to Israel. Once they were destroyed, the rains returned and the land once again became an inheritance unto the Israelites.There are other examples as well, which can be found in the book "Inheritance: the Full Redemption."

What was the original homeland of the first Hebrews?

Were the Israelites in political or spiritual slavery?

There is no evidence at all of the israelites ever being in Egypt. The Egyptians kept detailed records of their everyday lives, but never mentioned the Israelites. There is no archaeological evidence of large-scale Hebrew presence in Egypt, nor of the 40 year sojourn in the desert, nor of the conquest of Canaan. The respected Israeli archaeologist Israel Finkelstein says that over ninety per cent of scholars believe that the slavery and Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt did not really happend as described in the Bible. The Israelites were not enslaved in Egypt, politically, physically or spiritually. The story of Moses and the Exodus arose centuries after the time the events supposedly occurred.
