God subdued seven nations in the book of Joshua, the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and the Jebusites (Joshua 2:10; Nehemiah 9:8). After this the land was then divided (Joshua Chapter s 14-15). "About four hundred and fifty years" The dividing of the land did not take 450 years, rather this statement picks up the events from verses 17-19. Israel was in bondage 400 years, plus 40 years in the wilderness and another 10 to conquer the land.
