Later, they return to Israel and had to battle the Canaanites, who moved in after them.Modern scholarship suggests that they actually WERE the Canaanites.


What did the Canaanites do to Israel?

The Canaanites came upon the land of Israel and co-habitated with the Israelites in a normal manor.They did have some fierce fighting from time to time,but no killings ever occurred. The Canaanites stayed until the Israelites realized that they were losing their religion know to them as the God of Exodus,to the Canaanites god of fertility Ba'al.They had been specificily warned about Not worshipping this false god of fertility Ba'al,By their own God of Exodus.The original message given to the Israelites seemed to imply that the Canaanites should be killed to avoid this problem.Later they realized what they should have done.They eventually decided to,and were able to rid themselves of the Canaanites and their gods.....

Why is Israel so small if the Promised Land is big?

AnswerThe apparent size of the Promised Land differs in various parts of the Bbile. However, if the Promised Land was the land of the Canaanites, then modern Israel is much larger. For example, the Canaanites did not occupy the Negev Desert, from which Exodus says the Israelites travelled on their way to the Promised Land. Nor did the land of the Canaanites include Philistia - the coastal strip and foothills north from the Egyptian border to approximately where Tel Aviv is today.Ancient Israel and Judah actually occupied a quite small area, based on the mountainous hinterland and the Jezreel Valley.


Who was the first to live on the land that Israel now sits on right to the land Israel?

The Canaanites, Hittites, Emorites, Perrizites, and Girgashites all occupied parts of the area when the children of Israel returned after their two centuries of bondage in Egypt. Those were displaced relatively quickly, and there has been a continuous Jewish presence in that land since then, regardless of which colonial empire may have ruled it at any given time.
