Abstract:

This work investigates the Israelite occupation of the Land of Canaan as reflected in the biblical tradition in order to conclude how the Israelites came to occupy the Promised Land. In order to arrive at that end, this work reviews the current theories of occupation, analyzes the biblical books of Joshua and Judges, reviews the current archaeological evidence and investigates the roles of the terrain and military tactics in order to arrive at a conclusion.
