Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Chitti" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the term specifically refers to the Hittites, a distinct ethnic group in the Old Testament.

Usage: The term "Chitti" refers to the Hittites, a group of people frequently mentioned in the Old Testament. They are one of the several Canaanite tribes that inhabited the land of Canaan before the arrival of the Israelites. The Hittites are often listed among the nations that the Israelites were commanded to drive out of the Promised Land.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Hittites were an ancient Anatolian people who established an empire centered in Hattusa in north-central Anatolia around the 17th century BCE. They are known for their advanced culture, legal systems, and military prowess. In the biblical context, the Hittites are depicted as inhabitants of Canaan, and they had interactions with the patriarchs and the Israelites. The Hittites are mentioned in various contexts, including as allies, adversaries, and even as part of the Israelite community through intermarriage.

a. collective הַחִתִּי the Hittites: in lists of Canaanitish peoples Genesis 15:20 (JE), Exodus 3:8,11 (both J), Exodus 13:5; Exodus 23:23,28; Exodus 33:2; Exodus 34:11; Numbers 13:29; Joshua 3:10 (all J E), Deuteronomy 7:1; Deuteronomy 20:17; Joshua 9:1; Joshua 12:8; Joshua 24:11 (all D); read also for הַחִוִּי Judges 3:3 (so We Mey BuUrg 350); in Joshua 11:3 (D) strike out הַחִתִּי We Mey Bul.c., and read then הַחִתִּי for הַחִוִּי vb (so ᵐ5, not ᵐ5L); further 1 Kings 9:20 2Chronicles 8:7; Ezra 9:1; Nehemiah 9:8.

Hence it appears that הַחִתִּי (םׅ had their proper seat in the north — where also they were encountered by Assyrians from time of Tiglath-Pileser I (see Schr Dl1. c.), and by Egyptians from time of Tutmes III (see W Max Müll.l.c.) — (compare also Judges 3:3; Joshua 11:3 above), but that individual Hittites were known in Israel (compare, besides 1 Samuel 2:6; 2 Samuel 11:3 etc., 1 Kings 9:20 above); that the Hittites were regarded (by J E D) as one of the peoples of Canaan, and that the name even came to be used in more General sense for Canaanites. Only in P do they appear as having a definite settlement in the south, and are designated by בְּנֵיחֵֿת (see חֵת), as well as by the adjective הַחִתִּי.
