Katika Biblia jina hilo (kwa Kiebrania כנען, knaʿn) linatumika zaidi kumaanisha sehemu ile tu ambayo ilitekwa na Waisraeli na kuitwa Israeli. Sehemu hiyohiyo baadaye tena ilikuja kuitwa pia Palestina, yaani nchi ya Wafilisti.
Baada ya mataifa hayo mawili kuteka sehemu kubwa upande wa Kusini kuanzia karne ya 13 KK, ile ya Kaskazini zaidi iliyobaki chini ya wakazi asili ilikuja kuitwa pia Foinike.
Katika eneo hilo kati ya Mesopotamia na Misri kuanzia milenia ya 4 KK ulistawi ustaarabu muhimu wa Kisemiti ambao, kati ya michango mingine, ni asili ya alfabeti.
Habari nyingi kuhusu ustaarabu huu zimejulikana hasa kwa njia ya akiolojia.
