Canaanites in the Bible
-
Canaan is the place God chose to fulfill His promise to Abraham.
“I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” Genesis 12:2-3
-
The Canaanites were descendants of Noah.
The Canaanites are identified in Genesis as descendants of Ham, son of Noah. The strategic location where the Canaanites were settled carries great significance as we zoom out on the providential plan of God. “The Lord wanted his story to be distributed globally,” John A Beck explains, “The promised land was the transportation hub between three continents.”
-
The Canaanite people worshipped many gods.
“Completely destroy them …Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable thingsthey do in worshipping their gods, and you will sin against the LORD your God.” Deuteronomy 20:17-18
-
The Canaanites were said to be cursed.
“‘Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.’ He also said, ‘Praise be to the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem.’” Genesis 9:25-26
Ham had four sons, but only one of them was cursed. “The Canaanites’ abundant wickedness proved the curse was warranted,
-
The Canaanites were defeated and eliminated.
“When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations- the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you- and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated the,then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty, and show them no mercy.” Deuteronomy 7:1-2
God remained patient with the Canaanite people for centuries. It was centuries between Abraham’s arrival and Joshua’s entrance into the promised land that was to be for the people of God. “…all humans are born guilty and corrupt,” Kyle Dillon wrote for TGC, “This was especially true of the Canaanite societies steeped in abominable practices like child sacrifice and cult prostitution.” The Canaanite society serves as a sad reminder of the serious of sin, and the glorious truth we live in to day through the New Covenant, to have the opportunity to turn and repent, confess and be forgiven for wayward sinfulness.
