Dear All, Peng An,
Yeah, how to interpret the Old Testament was a serious challenges to all Biblical students.
The literal interpretation would lead to Israelite's claim to possess the absolute and complete ownership over Palestinian lands, no matter what... But if we read the Old Testament carefully, it was clear that the ownership of the Palestinian lands didn't belong to Jewish people absolutely or everlastingly. In reality, they were exiled and expelled from the land for many decades...
Thus personally, I would tend more to interpret this as symbol for spiritual Kingdom of God. Absolute and total commitment to the relationship between God's chosen people and God was the emphasis. Anything which might get entangled and intervene into that relationship would be the cannanites whom should be completely expelled or extinguished.
