Explanation: Canaan was the land of the ancient people of the Canaanites, whose land according to the Bible, God promised Abraham to be the land of the chosen people of the Hebrews. That country was in the Levant area, which would be today's Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan. So it can be said that the Levant(Canaan) roughly corresponded to the territory of present-day Israel, but along with the territories of the present-day states mentioned.
