The Canaanites are frequently mentioned in the Bible, where they are depicted as a group of people living in the land promised by God to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.<br><br><b>Biblical References and Historical Context</b><br><br>The Canaanites are first mentioned in the Table of Nations in <a href="/bsb/genesis/10.htm">Genesis 10</a>, where Canaan is listed as a son of Ham, the son of Noah. <a href="/genesis/10-15.htm">Genesis 10:15-18</a> states: "Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, Arvadites, Zemarites, and Hamathites."<br><br>The land of Canaan is described as a fertile and prosperous region, often referred to as "a land flowing with milk and honey" (<a href="/exodus/3-8.htm">Exodus 3:8</a>). The Canaanites were known for their advanced urban culture, trade, and religious practices, which included the worship of deities such as Baal and Asherah.<br><br><b>Canaanites in the Conquest Narrative</b><br><br>The Canaanites play a significant role in the narrative of the Israelite conquest of Canaan. God promised the land of Canaan to Abraham and his descendants, as seen in <a href="/genesis/12-7.htm">Genesis 12:7</a> : "The LORD appeared to Abram and said, 'To your offspring I will give this land.'" This promise is reiterated to Isaac and Jacob, establishing the divine right of the Israelites to the land.<br><br>The Book of Joshua details the conquest of Canaan under Joshua's leadership. The Israelites were commanded to drive out the Canaanite inhabitants and destroy their altars and idols to prevent the Israelites from adopting Canaanite religious practices. <a href="/joshua/3-10.htm">Joshua 3:10</a> states: "Joshua continued, 'By this you will know that the living God is among you and that He will surely drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites.'"<br><br><b>Canaanite Religion and Practices</b><br><br>The Canaanites were polytheistic, worshiping a pantheon of gods and goddesses. Baal, a storm and fertility god, was one of the most prominent deities. The worship of Baal often involved rituals that were abhorrent to the Israelites, including child sacrifice and sexual immorality. The Israelites were repeatedly warned against adopting these practices, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/12-31.htm">Deuteronomy 12:31</a> : "You must not worship the LORD your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods."<br><br><b>Canaanites in Later Biblical History</b><br><br>Despite the initial conquest, the Israelites did not fully expel the Canaanites from the land. <a href="/judges/1-27.htm">Judges 1:27-28</a> notes: "At that time Manasseh failed to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, and their surrounding settlements, because the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land. When Israel became stronger, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor, but they never drove them out completely."<br><br>The continued presence of the Canaanites and their influence led to periods of idolatry and apostasy among the Israelites, as recorded in the Book of Judges and the prophetic writings. The struggle against Canaanite influence is a recurring theme in the narrative of Israel's history, highlighting the tension between faithfulness to God and the temptation to adopt surrounding cultural practices.<br><br><b>Canaanites in Archaeology and Scholarship</b><br><br>Archaeological discoveries have provided insight into Canaanite culture, religion, and society. Excavations at sites such as Ugarit and Megiddo have uncovered artifacts and texts that shed light on Canaanite religious practices and their interactions with neighboring cultures. These findings corroborate and enrich the biblical narrative, offering a broader understanding of the historical context in which the Israelites lived and worshiped.<br><br>The Canaanites, as depicted in the Bible, serve as a symbol of the spiritual and moral challenges faced by the Israelites. Their account is interwoven with the themes of covenant, faithfulness, and the struggle against idolatry, which are central to the biblical narrative.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>A name given to the apostle Simon (<a href="/matthew/10-4.htm">Matthew 10:4</a>; <a href="/mark/3-18.htm">Mark 3:18</a>). The word here does not, however, mean a descendant of Canaan, but is a translation, or rather almost a transliteration, of the Syriac word Kanenyeh (R.V. rendered "Cananaen"), which designates the Jewish sect of the Zealots. Hence he is called elsewhere (<a href="/luke/6-15.htm">Luke 6:15</a>) "Simon Zelotes;" i.e., Simon of the sect of the Zealots.

This Simon was also named "the Canaanite" (<a href="/matthew/10-4.htm">Matthew 10:4</a> <a href="/mark/3-18.htm">Mark 3:18</a> the King James Version) or "the Cananean" (<a href="/matthew/10-4.htm">Matthew 10:4</a> <a href="/mark/3-18.htm">Mark 3:18</a> the Revised Version (British and American)) or "Zelotes" (<a href="/luke/6-15.htm">Luke 6:15</a> <a href="/acts/1-13.htm">Acts 1:13</a> the King James Version) or "the Zealot" (<a href="/luke/6-15.htm">Luke 6:15</a> <a href="/acts/1-13.htm">Acts 1:13</a> the Revised Version (British and American)).<br><br>According to the "Gospel of the Ebionites" or" Gospel of the Twelve Apostles" (of the 2nd century and mentioned by Origen) Simon received his call to the apostleship along with Andrew and Peter, the sons of Zebedee, Thaddaeus and Judas Iscariot at the Sea of Tiberias (compare <a href="/matthew/4-18.htm">Matthew 4:18-22</a>; see also Hennecke, Neutestamentliche Apokryphen, 24-27).<br><br>Although Simon, like the majority of the apostles, was probably a Galilean, the designation "Cananaean" is regarded as of political rather than of geographical significance (compare Luke's rendering). The Zealots were a faction, headed by Judas of Galilee, who "in the days of the enrollment" (compare <a href="/acts/5-37.htm">Acts 5:37</a> <a href="/luke/2-1.htm">Luke 2:1, 2</a>) bitterly opposed the threatened increase of taxation at the census of Quirinius, and would have hastened by the sword the fulfillment of Messianic prophecy.<br><br>Simon has been identified with Simon the brother of Jesus (<a href="/mark/6-3.htm">Mark 6:3</a> <a href="/matthew/13-55.htm">Matthew 13:55</a>), but there also are reasons in favor of identifying him with Nathanael.<br><br>Thus (1) all the arguments adduced in favor of the Bartholomew-Nathanael identification (see NATHANAEL) can equally be applied to that of Simon-Nathanael, except the second. But the second is of no account, since the Philip-Bartholomew connection in the Synoptists occurs merely in the apostolic lists, while in John it is narrative. Further, in the Synoptists, Philip is connected in the narrative, not with Bartholomew but with Andrew.<br><br>(2) The identity is definitely stated in the Genealogies of the Twelve Apostles (see NATHANAEL). Further, the "Preaching of Simon, son of Cleopas" (compare Budge, II, 70;) has the heading "The preaching of the blessed Simon, the son of Cleopas, who was surnamed Judas, which is interpreted Nathanael, who became bishop of Jerusalem after James the brother of our Lord." Eusebius (Historia Ecclesiastica, III, xi, 32; IV, xxii) also refers to a Simon who succeeded James as bishop of Jerusalem and suffered martyrdom under Trajan; and Hegesippus, whom Eusebius professes to quote, calls this Simon a son of Cleopas.<br><br>(3) The invitation of Philip to Nathanael (compare <a href="/john/1-45.htm">John 1:45</a>) was one which would naturally be addressed to a follower of the Zealots, who based their cause on the fulfillment of Messianic prophecy.<br><br>(4) As Alpheus, the father of James, is generally regarded as the same as Clopas or Cleopas (see JAMES), this identification of the above Simon Nathanael, son of Cleopas, with Simon Zelotes would shed light on the reason of the juxtaposition of James son of Alpheus and Simon Zelotes in the apostolic lists of Luke and Acts, i.e. they were brothers.<br><br>C.
