And the Hittites,.... Who had their name from Heth, a son of Canaan, see
Gen 10:15
; they dwelt about Hebron, in the south of the land of Canaan:
and the Perizzites; these dwelt in the wood country of the land,
Jos 17:15
; and seem to have their name from dwelling in villages, and at a distance from towns and cities, and were a boorish and uncivilized people, see
Gen 13:7
,
and the Rephaims; or "giants", as the Targums of Onkelos, and Jonathan; they dwelt near the Perizzites,
Jos 17:15
; of these see
Gen 14:5
.
