The descendants of Canaan, who encompassed the tribes of the Promised Land at the time of the Exodus from Egypt, were under a curse stemming back to the days of Noah and his sons. The Curse of Ham was laid down because of Ham's disregard for his father, and would cause all the descendants of Canaan, the fourth generation in the line of Noah through Ham, to serve the descendants of Shem, among which came forth Abraham, Isaac, Jacob who becomes Israel, Joseph, and the Hebrew people.
In a much broader sense, God had chosen the Hebrew people as His own, and Canaan Land was the land God had promised the Hebrews.

The lack of a central unified government in Canaan allowed the Israelites to exploit divisions among the Canaanite city-states, making it easier for them to conquer territories. Without a strong, coordinated defense, Canaanite cities were often unable to unite against the Israelite incursions, leading to fragmented resistance. This disunity meant that the Israelites could strategically select targets and advance their settlement efforts more effectively. Additionally, it facilitated the establishment of tribal alliances and local governance structures among the Israelites, reinforcing their identity and cohesion as they settled in the region.
