Have we ever determined (or can we) who "owns" the land?

iirc, after moving from Egypt, the Hebrews took what they are pleased to call "their" land, from the people who were already living there, by force. Can't recall right now the town where they put everyone to the sword, regardless of age or gender.

Ah, the Google net sifter to the rescue:

The biblical account of Jericho (Joshua 6) includes the following elements:

The Israelites, led by Joshua, marched around the city once a day for six days.

On the seventh day, they marched around the city seven times.

The city's walls collapsed after the priests blew their trumpets and the people shouted.

The Israelites then entered and "destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys".

Rahab and her family were spared because she had hidden the Israelite spies sent to scout the city.
