Canaanites, The:
a word used in two senses:
(1.) A tribe which inhabited a particular locality of the land west of the Jordan before the conquest; and
(2.) The people who inhabited generally the whole of that country.
(3.) In Genesis 10:18-20, the seats of the Canaanite tribe are given as on the seashore and in the Jordan valley (compare Joshua 11:3).
(4.) Applied as a general name to the non‐Israelite inhabitants of the land, as we have already seen was the case with "Canaan." Instances of this are (Genesis 12:6; Numbers 21:3). The Canaanites were descendants of Canaan. Their language was very similar to the Hebrew. The Canaanites were probably given to commerce; and thus the name became probably in later times an occasional synonym for a merchant.
