When did israelites leave mesopotamia to settle in canaan?
In The Bible,it says that God Told Abraham and his followers to leave Mesopotamia and settle in Canaan.An historical view:The term Israelites comes much later. The stories in the Old Testament were made up long after the events. Cursive writing was not invented until the 9th Century BCE, so there was little effective writing to record things before them.The Hebrews (which is the earlier word) are recorded by the Egyptians as being tribes of people they called the Habiru who were bandits and herdsmen living in the Judean Hills. This people had gained control of much of Palestine by the 8th Century BCE when the ten northern tribes of the Hebrew peoples had established a kingdom there. There is no record of them coming from Mesopotamia until the biblical accounts were put together centuries later.If talking about history rather than religion, it is better to leave the biblical (religious) account out of it

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).
