jan 1, 1400 BC - Conquest of Canaan
Description:
After the wilderness period, the Israelites entered Canaan under the leadership of Joshua. The conquest represents the beginning of Israel’s settlement in the Promised Land, with major events including the crossing of the Jordan River, the fall of Jericho, and battles against Canaanite city-states. From a Jewish perspective, this was not just a military campaign but the fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. After Joshua, the land was divided among the tribes, beginning the tribal period before the monarchy.
