Sommario/riassunto

It is an interesting consequence of the new reconstructions of the early history of Israel that the Israelites must originally have been



Canaanites. Nevertheless, an outspoken hatred against Canaanites permeates the Old Testament. Lemche presents a new way of explaining the anti-Canaanite sentiments of the Old Testament historians, while at the same time disclosing some of the aims and ideas which governed Old Testament history writing.
