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.

What is the Number of times water parted in Bible?
There were a total of five times that this happened!1. GODGenesis 1:6-7And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so.2. MosesExodus 14:21-22Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.3. Joshua - This one is the most interesting account out of all of them because of the number of times it mentions the priests holding the ark of the covenant of the Lord in the dry river bed.Joshua 3:7-17 through 4:1-18And the Lord said to Joshua. "Today I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses. Tell the priests who carry the ark of the covenant: 'When you reach the edge of the Jordan's waters, go and stand in the river.' "Joshua said to the Israelites, "Come here and listen to the words of the Lord your God. This is how you will know that the living God is among you and that he will certainly drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites and Jebusites.See, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will go into the Jordan ahead of you. Now then, choose twelve men from the tribes of Isrtael, one from each tribe. And as soon as the priests who carry the ark of the Lord - the Lord of all the earth - set foot in the Jordan, its waters flowing downstream will be cut off and stand up in a heap."So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant went ahead of them. Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water's edge, the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan, while the water flowing down to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho. The priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordon, while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground.4:1 When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua, "Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe, and tell them to take up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan from right where the priests stood and to carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight."So Joshua called together the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe, and said the them, "Go over before the ark of the Lord your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask you, 'What do these stones mean?' tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever."So the Israelites did as Joshua commanded them. They took twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, as the Lord had told Joshua; and they carried them over with them to their camp, where they put them down. Joshua set up the twelve stones that had been in the middle of the Jordan at the spot where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant had stood. And they are there to this day.Now the priests who carried the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything the Lord had commanded Joshua was done by the people, just as Moses had directed Joshua. The people hurried over, and as soon as all of them had crossed, the ark of the Lord and the priests came to the other side whithe the people watched. The men of Reuiben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over, armed, in front of the Israelites, as Moses had directed them. About forty thousand armed for battle crossed over before the Lord to the plains of Jericho for war.That day the Lord exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they revered him all the days of his life, just as they had revered Moses. The the Lord said to Joshua, "Command the priests carrying the ark of the Testimony to come up out of the Jordan."And the priests came up out of the river carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord. No sooner had they set their feet on the dry ground than the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and ran at flood stage as before.4. Elijha2 Kings 2:7-8Fifty men of the company of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing the place where Elijah and Elisha had stopped at the Jordan. Elijah took his cloak, and rolled it up and struck the water with it. The water divided to the right and to the left, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground.5. Elisha2 Kings 2:13-14He picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. Then he took the cloak that had fallen from him and struck the water with it. "Where now is the Lord, the God of Elijah?" he asked. When he struck the water, it divided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over.6. NoahGenesis 8:1But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the boat. He sent a wind to blow across the earth and the floodwaters began to recede.

What part of the promised Land did Joshua capture?
God told Moses to prepare a young Hebrew, Joshua, to assume the leadership of the Israelites upon Moses' death. Forty years later, the Israelites were camped on the eastern side of the Dead Sea when Moses died. God told Joshua it was time to lead the people across the Jordan River into the Promised Land. In the Hebrew Bible, the "Land of Canaan" extends from Lebanon southward across Gaza to the "Brook of Egypt" and eastward to the Jordan River Valley, thus including modern Israel and the Palestinian Territories. The Lord helped Joshua lead the Hebrew people into the Promised Land. When they entered this land, the Israelites had to cross the Jordan River. At God's command, Joshua told the priests to take the Ark of the Covenant into the river. A great battle with the people of the land of Canaan took place by the city of Gabaon. The Israelites defeated their enemies and put them to flight while God rained stones from heaven on those who were fleeing, so that more perished from the stones than from the swords of the Israelites. The day was coming to an end, but the Israelites had not yet routed their enemies. Joshua then prayed to God and cried out aloud before the people, "Sun, stand still, and moon, do not move..." And the sun did stand still, and night did not come until the Israelites had defeated their enemies.
What relationship does the bible text show between God and the Israelites?
A personal one that only the elect of God knows between the Father knows and the sons of God. This only belongs to the elect of GodANSWER 2:A "marriage." A "familial" [FAMILY] relationship... husband, wife, children. "...'I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which My covenant they brake, although I WAS AN HUSBAND UNTO THEM,' saith the LORD..." (Jer.31:32)."Surely AS A WIFE TREACHEROUSLY DEPARTETH FROM HER HUSBAND, so have YE DEALT TREACHEROUSLY WITH ME, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL,' saith the LORD." (Jer.3:20)"Return, YE backsliding CHILDREN..." (verse 22)."For THY MAKER IS THINE HUSBAND; the LORD of hosts IS HIS NAME; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; the GOD OF THE WHOLE EARTH shall He be called." (Isa.54:5)Answer 3The relationship between God and the Israelites (Jews) is that of the covenant between them. The covenant is one of obedience, to listen to God's voice (Exodus 19:5), which includes the entire Torah (24:12). God, for His part, promised to treasure the Israelites (Exodus 19:5, Deuteronomy 26:16-19). The covenant was manifested through God's giving the Ten Commandments (Exodus ch.19-20), and was finalized (on the part of the Israelites) through the offerings described in Exodus ch.24.In the Books of Judges and Kings (and elsewhere), the text shows how God blessed the Israelites when they obeyed his Torah and punished them when they strayed.
Were the Israelites allowed to keep what they found?
That depends when it happened. If it is Egypt they took everything.
