Canaan
The land God promised to Abraham — what Israel spent centuries trying to get to
LevantAbout This Place
The ancient name for the land west of the Jordan River — roughly modern-day Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and parts of Jordan and Syria. God promised this land to Abraham and his descendants. After 400+ years of slavery in Egypt, Israel journeyed through the wilderness and entered Canaan under Joshua. The Canaanites had various religions and practices that the Israelites were warned not to adopt.
