| ARTICLES RELATED TO Hittites in the Bible | | | |  Hittites in the Bible: Encyclopedia II - Hittites in the Bible - Exodus and the conquest of CanaanThis period is conjectured to start sometime after 1800 BC and end sometime before 1000 BC. In this period (in which can be included the promise made to Abraham, centuries earlier, and its recall by Nehemias half a millennium later), the Hittites are mentioned about a dozen times as part of an almost fixed formula that lists the "seven nations greater and mightier than [the Hebrews]" whose lands will be eventually conquered. Five other "major nations" are mentioned in almost all instances of the formula: Canaanites, Amorites, Hivites, Jebusi ...

| | | | Hittites in the Bible: Encyclopedia II - Hittites - The Biblical Hittites References to a people whose name is transcribed into English as "Hittites" (or sometimes "Hettites") are found throughout the Hebrew Bible. These Biblical references to the Hittites are summarized below. It should be noted that the corpus of the Hebrew Bible was probably compiled in its near-final form between the 7th and 5th centuries BC, during or after the Babylonian exile, as related in the Book of Ezra, with a further revision in the Masoretic text occurring some time between ca. 200 BC and 100 AD, as inferred from textual analysis of the Septuagint, Dead Sea Scrolls, and other sources.

| | | | Hittites in the Bible: Encyclopedia II - Hittites - Archaeological discovery The first archaeological evidence for the Hittites appeared in tablets found at the Assyrian colony of Kültepe (ancient Karum Kanesh), containing records of trade between Assyrian merchants and a certain "land of Hatti".

In Solomon's reign (around 950 BC), the Hittites are listed as people whom the Hebrew had not been able "utterly to destroy" in their conquest of Canaan and who paid tribute to Israel.

| | | | Hittites in the Bible: Encyclopedia II - Hittites in the Bible - Babylonian exile and return In Ezekiel:16:1, Jerusalem is said to be the daughter of an Hittite mother and an Amorite father, sister of Samaria and Sodom. The intent is clearly offensive, but it is not clear whether the reference to the Hitittes is concrete or only symbolic. However, a century later, Ezra is dismayed to learn, on his arrival from Babylon, that the leaders who had remained on the land had been "polluted" by mixing with other people, including the Hittites.

| | | | Hittites in the Bible: Encyclopedia II - Hittites in the Bible - From Noah to Abraham The Biblical view of humanity is set forth in Genesis:10, where various peoples are described as different lines of descent from Noah.

The sons of Canaan are given as Sidon, Heth, then the (ancestors of?) the Jebusites, Amorites, Girgasites, Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, Arvadites, Zemarites, and the Hamathites.

One of them (Ephron) is labeled "the Hittite", several times. This deal is mentioned three more times (with almost ...
