    There’s a lot of scholarship out there which is very clear that the conquest of Canaan narrative is just propaganda. There may or may not be oral history behind it with a whisper of a memory of real events, but all the archaeological evidence points towards it being made up. And of course the bible contradicts itself in this regard not much later anyway.
