When the Israelites entered the Promised Land of Canaan, they were commanded by God to conquer and drive out the existing nations inhabiting the land. According to the biblical narrative, there were several nations, including the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, among others. The exact number of nations can vary depending on interpretations, but it is commonly stated that the Israelites faced multiple groups that had to be defeated to establish their presence in Canaan.
