The Bible says that the Israelites entered Canaan around 1400 BCE and conquered the people there, to build a great nation.

Scholars say that the Israelites were always in Canaan, because they were really dissident Canaanites who left the coastal cities to settle in the sparsely populated mountainous Canaanite hinterland. This occurred shortly before 1200 BCE, without Exodus from Egypt or the military conquest described in the Bible.
