Joshua
The Israelites were commanded to take Canaan (Israel) from the Canaanites (Deuteronomy ch.7), but they did so incompletely, allowing Canaanites to remain in various regions (Judges ch.1-2).
Caleb
They didn't. They established themselves in Israel. The country was only renamed Palestine by the Romans AFTER the Hebrews were kicked out.Tradition says they established themselves in Israel by Abraham, around 2000 BCE. Later, they return to Israel and had to battle the Canaanites, who moved in after them.Modern scholarship suggests that they actually WERE the Canaanites.
Gideon
AnswerThe first people we really know about, in what is now Israel, were the West Semitic people known in the Old Testament as Canaanites.
The Canaanites came upon the land of Israel and co-habitated with the Israelites in a normal manor.They did have some fierce fighting from time to time,but no killings ever occurred. The Canaanites stayed until the Israelites realized that they were losing their religion know to them as the God of Exodus,to the Canaanites god of fertility Ba'al.They had been specificily warned about Not worshipping this false god of fertility Ba'al,By their own God of Exodus.The original message given to the Israelites seemed to imply that the Canaanites should be killed to avoid this problem.Later they realized what they should have done.They eventually decided to,and were able to rid themselves of the Canaanites and their gods.....
Jewish tradition and scripture hold that the law was delivered by Moses (משה) to the Children of Israel (×‘× ×™ ישראל).
Her name was Deborah. The account referred to by the question is found in Judges 4.
Answer 1There is no evidence ... historic, archaeological, or Biblical ...that the Canaanites ever oppressed Israel.Answer 2The Bible does note that there are stretches of time during which Canaanites or people from the surrounding nations (such as Edomites, Moabities, or Arameans) oppressed certain tribes in Israel, but this occurred intermittently and never over the entire Israelite territory. Furthermore, the nature of this oppression was markedly different between every oppressive tribe and oppressed Israelite tribe. Some confiscated material wealth while others raped and pillaged. However, the Judges period (according to the Bible) takes roughly 400 years of which around half of the time one tribe or another was being oppressed.
AnswerThe apparent size of the Promised Land differs in various parts of the Bbile. However, if the Promised Land was the land of the Canaanites, then modern Israel is much larger. For example, the Canaanites did not occupy the Negev Desert, from which Exodus says the Israelites travelled on their way to the Promised Land. Nor did the land of the Canaanites include Philistia - the coastal strip and foothills north from the Egyptian border to approximately where Tel Aviv is today.Ancient Israel and Judah actually occupied a quite small area, based on the mountainous hinterland and the Jezreel Valley.
The Canaanites (Though there is a school of thought that says the hebrews didn't fight the Canaanites, but that they WERE the canaanites.)
According to the biblical description, the territory which we now call Israel was, at the time of the Jewish exodus from Egypt, called Canaan, and it was inhabited by Canaanites. The city of Jerusalem was inhabited by Jebusites.
