Why did God declare WAR on the Canaanites (vs. loving your enemy)? Did God initiate GENOCIDE?
Must provide two of the four justifications.
1) Canaanites were morally corrupt and participating in human sacrifices which God did not want to be part of the Israelites' culture.
2) The author used hyperboles to describe the outcomes of war (not literal), congruent to the style of war text at the time.
3) Canaanites knew of the Israelites' God and had opportunities to convert (such as Rahab)
4) Only for the select groups in Canaan. Israelites were instructed to be peaceful with all other nations.
