During the time of Joshua, Canaan was a land of many small kingdoms and city-states, each with its own king. The Canaanites were known for their polytheistic religion and practices that included various forms of divination and sorcery, which were in direct opposition to the monotheistic worship of Yahweh by the Israelites.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a place in N.
