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.
