The Canaanites were by that time in full possession of the land (see Rashi commentary on Genesis 12:6). They had at least 150 fortified cities and towns. They were war-like, and would band together against the Israelites in battle (Joshua 9:2); and they would be fighting on their own turf, with which they were more familiar than the Israelites. They had a population that exceeded the number of the Israelites (Deuteronomy 7:17).In addition, the Israelites as yet had no permanent homes, or stockpiled weapons. Also, the camp that they set up at Gilgal included their wives and children and would be vulnerable.
