Footnote 6 – Israel Enters Canaan—Following the Pottery Trail

The story of Dinah (Genesis 34), the Battle of Bezeq (Judges 1) and the mention of Tirzah, Tappush and Hepher in the list of the conquered Canaanite kings (Joshua 12, 17, 24) are all anachronistic, but may hint at some clashes between Israelites and Canaanites in Manasseh.
