Hivites:
(villagers) The, descendants-the six in order- of Canaan the son of Ham (Genesis 10:17; 1 Chronicles 1:15). We first encounter the actual people of the Hivites at the time of Jacob's return to Canaan (Genesis 34:2). We next meet with the Hivites during the conquest of Canaan (Joshua 9:7; 11:19). The main body of the Hivites were at this time living in the northern confines of western Palestine- "under Hermon, in the land of Mizpeh," (Joshua 11:3)-"in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entering in of Hamath." (Judges 3:3 compare 2 Samuel 24:7).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
