Canaan (Modern Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Western Jordan)
God promised this fertile land to Abraham, where the Israelites battled locals like the Philistines after their Exodus journey. The name faded under Assyrian, Babylonian, and Roman rule as “Israel” and other regional names took hold. No,w it’s spread across parts of Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and western Jordan. Ancient tribal boundaries that once defined the twelve tribes have given way to modern borders.
