You are partly correct. Anyone living in Canaan was a "Canaanite", but they are really the descendants of Canaan.

Long before Jesus...long before the Israelites.. the landless Jews emerged from the Canaanites. That's why they borrowed so much from the Canaanite Pantheon and the mythos of the Ugarit at Ras Shamra.

The Code of Hammurabi and the Egyptian Book of the Dead came before the Ten Commandments.

were they written in the heavens, are there the originals - lets hope, pray they were not written by prosecutors, though the book of the dead sounds a little suspicious.
