Best Answer

Ownership of land changes hands over time through the fortunes of war. Ultimately ownership is considered to be defined by occupation, but normally never on the basis that a claimant's national god supposedly promised the land to his people.

For thousands of years, the Canaanites had owned the land, but through either conquest (the biblical version) or peaceful infiltration (the archaeological version), the Hebrew people came to own a large part of the land and built the nations of Israel and Judah on the parts that they occupied.
