The ancient name for the land that now includes Israel, Lebanon, and parts of Syria and Jordan was often referred to as Canaan. This region was inhabited by various Semitic peoples and is significant in biblical history. It was known for its rich agricultural land and was a central area in ancient trade routes. The term "Canaan" is frequently mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, particularly in relation to the Israelites' journey and settlement in the Promised Land.
