Late 15th Century BC (Conquest of Canaan)
The Israelites were transitioning from a nomadic lifestyle in the wilderness to settling in the Promised Land, Canaan, which was inhabited by various Canaanite tribes with their own polytheistic religions and practices.
Canaan was a region with multiple city-states, each ruled by its own king. The Israelites were entering a land with established political entities and alliances.
The events occur near the Jordan River, specifically at Gilgal, which is located on the eastern border of Jericho in the land of Canaan.
Circumcision was a sign of the covenant between God and Abraham's descendants, and the Passover was a significant religious observance commemorating the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt.
