A few of the Canaanites, like Rahab and the Gibeonites, were saved because of their attitude and actions, but for the most part, they had reached an extreme level of uncleanness, as is revealed by modern archaeological excavations.
Daži kanaānieši, kā Rahāba un gibeonieši, tika izglābti savas nostājas un rīcības dēļ, taču kopumā kanaānieši dzīvoja neiedomājamā netikumībā — par to liecina arī arheoloģiskie izrakumi.
