Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3669: כְּנַעֲנִי (Kena'ani) - Canaanite - H3667: כְּנַעַן (Kena'an) - Canaan Usage: The term "Chananaios" refers to a descendant or inhabitant of Canaan, the land promised to Abraham and his descendants. In the New Testament, it is used to describe people from the region of Canaan, which includes the Phoenicians and other ancient peoples. The term is often associated with the historical enemies of Israel, as well as with the Gentiles in the context of Jesus' ministry. Cultural and Historical Background: The Canaanites were the original inhabitants of the land of Canaan, a region that roughly corresponds to modern-day Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and parts of Jordan and Syria. They were known for their advanced urban culture and polytheistic religion, which often brought them into conflict with the monotheistic Israelites. The Canaanites are frequently mentioned in the Old Testament as adversaries of the Israelites, whom God commanded to drive out of the Promised Land due to their idolatrous practices.
