Isin was the rising start and allied with Elamites and the Amorite tribes (Genesis 14)
Egypt was losing power to local Semites encroaching on the Sinai (Genesis 37)
Mediterranean trade was still concentrated along the coasts and had not moved far inland except where it connected with trade routes through northern Syria (meaning the Philistines were still Semitic--after 1200 BC they were Greek)
Canaan was ruled by dozens of autonomous clans whose allegiance gradually shifted from Egypt to Syria, allowing first the Semitic invasion of Egypt (about 1700 BC) then the Hyksos (Syrian) invasion about 1600 BC (perhaps 1350 BC).
Amorite tribes living along the west bank of the Euphrates eventually began coallescing under single leaders (such as the King of Mari--1800s BC) and moved first north into Syria and then west to the coast. Israel didn't really come into contact with them until Judges 5 (perhaps 1350 BC).
