| <p> Son of Canaan, Ham's son; from whence sprung the Hittites, occupying the hill country of Judah near Hebron. But the race enlarged its borders so that they with the [[Amorites]] represent all [[Canaan]] ( Joshua 1:4; Ezekiel 16:3, "thy father was an Amorite, thy mother an Hittite".) See Genesis 23:3-20. Esau's marriage to one of the daughters of [[Heth]] "grieved the mind" of Isaac and Rebekah, for their morals were lax and their worship idolatrous ( Genesis 26:34-35; Genesis 27:46). In Solomon's and in Joram's times there were independent Hittite kings ( 1 Kings 10:29; 2 Kings 7:6). In the [[Egyptian]] monuments they are called the Kheta, who made themselves masters of Syria. </p>

| <p> the father of the Hittites, was the eldest son of Canaan, Genesis 10:15 , and dwelt southward of the promised land, probably about Hebron. Ephron, who was an inhabitant of that city, was of the race of Heth; and in the time of [[Abraham]] the whole city were of the family of Heth. </p>

| <p> (Heb. Chetf, חֶת '', Dread;'' Sept. (ὁ Χετταῖος, and so Josephus, ''Ant.'' 1, 6, 2), a son (descendant) of Canaan, and the ancestor of the [[Hittites]] ( Genesis 5:20; Deuteronomy 7:1; Joshua 1:4), who dwelt in the vicinity of [[Hebron]] ( Genesis 23:3; Genesis 23:7; Genesis 25:10). The ‘ kings of the Hittites" is spoken of all the [[Canaanitish]] kings ( 2 Kings 2:6). In the genealogical tables of Genesis 10 and 1 Chronicles 1, Heth is named as a son of Canaan, younger than [[Zidon]] the firstborn, but preceding the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the other Canaanitish-families. The Hittites were therefore a Hamitic race, neither of the "country" nor the "kindred" of Abraham and Isaac ( Genesis 24:3-4; Genesis 28:1-2). In the earliest historical mention of the nation the beautiful narrative of Abraham's purchase of the cave of [[Machpelah]] they are styled, not Hittites, but Bene-Cheth (A.V. "sons and children of Heth," Genesis 23:3; Genesis 23:5; Genesis 23:7; Genesis 23:10; Genesis 23:16; Genesis 23:18; Genesis 23:20; Genesis 25:10; Genesis 49:32). Once we hear of the "daughters of Heth" ( Genesis 27:46), the "daughters of the land," at that early period still called, after their less immediate progenitor, "daughters of Canaan" ( Genesis 28:1; Genesis 28:8, compared with Genesis 27:46, and Genesis 26:34-35; see also 1 Kings 11:1; Ezekiel 16:3). In the Egyptian monuments the name [[Chat]] is said to stand for [[Palestine]] (Bunsen, ''Egypten,'' quoted by Ewald, ''Gesch.'' 1, 317, note). (See Hittite). </p>
