Strong's Lexicon Chitti: Hittite Original Word: חִתִּי Word Origin: Derived from חֵת (Cheth), the name of an ancestor of the Hittites. 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.
