Did God give the people of Canaan a chance of changing their ways?
A:There is no suggestion in the Bible, particularly in the Book of Joshua, that the Canaanites were in need of changing thier ways. The Bible describes them as helpful to the Patriarchs before the Egyptian sojourn, and attributes no great evil to the Canaanites as a nation. The story simply says that the Israelites wanted their land, believed that it had been promised to them by their God, and so went in and took it. The Book of Joshua actually portrays the Canaanites as the innocent victims and the Israelites as the genocidal invaders! In defence of the Israelites, it is worth mentioning that most scholars now believe there was no Exodus from Egypt or military invasion of Canaan. They say that the Israelites were actually Canaanites themselves and that they migrated peacefully from the region of the rich coastal cities into the hitherto sparsely populated Canaanite hinterland. Long after they had forgotten their origins, the Hebrew people developed the legend of a glorious past and of great military victories.
Why did the Hebrews believe Canaan was their promised land?
A:The biblical reason for this is that God promised the land of the Canaanites to their forebears. The real reason is surprising! Archaeologists and scholars have ascertained that the Israelites were actually Canaanites themselves, and had migrated from the region of the rich coastal cities, to settle peacefully in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland - they had not come out of Egypt to invade and conquer the Canaanites at all. Centuries later, after the Hebrew people had long forgotten their real origins, they created legends of their supposed ancestors, their sojourn in Egypt and the conquest of Canaan, just as this tradition says that God told them.

It would be fair to say on behalf of the Israelites that archaeologists say there is no evidence of an military invasion of the land of the Canaanites. Jericho, Ai and every other city tell a different story from that in the Bible. Scholars say that the Israelites were actually Canaanites themselves, who migrated peacefully from the region of the coastal cities into the Canaanite hinterland. Long after they had forgotten their real origins, the Israelites developed this legend of a glorious past.
