Biblical tradition says Moses led the Israelites up to the border of Canaan, but that he never entered the Promised Land, which was conquered by his successor, Joshua.

Historians take a different view, saying that, on all the evidence, there was no biblical Exodus from Egypt and certainly no conquest of the Canaanites. They say that the Israelites were actually rural Canaanite people who left the region of the rich coastal cities to settle peacefully in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland.

What book tells the story of the Israelites conquering Canaan?

The Book of Joshua talks of the conquest of the land of the Canaanites by the Israelites under the leadership of Joshua. The Book of Judges contains a fragmentary account of the conquest of the same cities by the tribe of Judah under the leadership of Caleb, because the Lord said that the people of Judah would conquer the Canaanites. There seem to have been two early traditions about the conquest of Canaan, the Joshua one passed on in the northern kingdom of Israel and the Caleb one passed on in the southern kingdom of Judah. Probably only a small part of the Judahite tradition has been preserved.

Israel then began to worship the gods of the heathen that where in Canaan.GOD being mad with Israel puts them in slavery under a wicked king in Mesopotamia, and the moabites.
