Canaan & Kingdoms
Canaan
Israel, Palestinian territories, Lebanon and neighboring areas
WHAT HAPPENED HERE
Biblical story
Canaan was the land God promised to Abraham’s descendants and later the destination of Israel’s journey from Egypt.
WHY IT MATTERS
Place in the Bible’s story
The land connects covenant promise, faith, inheritance, responsibility, judgment, and Israel’s calling among the nations.
THEN & NOW
Understanding the location
Canaan referred to a changing ancient region rather than a modern political border, so its extent varied by period.
