However, the Hittites as a people are mentioned in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament, using transliterations of the Hebrew name. Usage: The name Heth appears in the genealogies and narratives of the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the Hittite people. It is used to denote the progenitor of the Hittites, a significant ethnic group in the ancient Near East. Context: • Cheth (Heth): Heth is identified as the second son of Canaan, who was the son of Ham, according to the genealogical records in Genesis 10:15. The descendants of Heth are known as the Hittites, a people frequently mentioned in the Old Testament. The Hittites were one of the Canaanite tribes inhabiting the land of Canaan before the arrival of the Israelites. They are noted for their interactions with the patriarchs, such as Abraham, who purchased the cave of Machpelah from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site for his wife Sarah (Genesis 23:3-20). The Hittites are also listed among the nations that the Israelites were commanded to drive out of the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 7:1). The presence of the Hittites in the biblical narrative underscores their historical and cultural significance in the ancient Near East.
