Why was canaan important?

God told Abraham to leave his homeland (around modern Iraq) and go to the Holy Land. He later promised that this land would belong to his descendants, a promise passed on to his grandson, Jacob (later renamed Israel). Jacob/Israel's children would move to Egypt during a famine, and were enslaved for centuries. During this time pagans in the Holy Land, called Canaanites, built various large cities and fortresses. However, God's promise to the Hebrews' ancestors remained in effect. Jewish religion traditionally says that the promise was, in fact, eternal: even when Hebrews cannot live in the land it belongs to them, being ordained by God as their special nation.
