Strong's Lexicon Kna'aniy: Canaanite Original Word: כְּנַעַנִי Word Origin: Derived from כְּנַעַן (Canaan), referring to the land and its inhabitants. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5473 Χαναναῖος (Chananaios) - Canaanite - G5474 Χαναναῖτις (Chananitis) - Canaanite woman Usage: The term "Kna'aniy" refers to the inhabitants of Canaan, a region in the ancient Near East. In the Bible, it is used to describe the people living in the land promised to Abraham and his descendants. The Canaanites were known for their polytheistic beliefs and practices, which often stood in contrast to the monotheistic faith of the Israelites. Cultural and Historical Background: The Canaanites were a group of ancient people who lived in the land of Canaan, an area that roughly corresponds to modern-day Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and parts of Jordan and Syria. They were known for their advanced urban culture, trade, and religious practices, which included the worship of deities such as Baal and Asherah. The Canaanites played a significant role in the history of the Israelites, as the land of Canaan was the Promised Land that God pledged to the descendants of Abraham. The Israelites' interactions with the Canaanites were complex, involving both conflict and assimilation.
