The Greek Septuagint may use transliterations or different terms to describe the Avvites, but these are not directly linked to a specific Strong's Greek number. Usage: The term עַוִּי (Avvi) is used in the context of describing the Avvites, a group of people who lived in the region of Canaan before the arrival of the Israelites. They are mentioned in the context of the conquests and settlements of the Israelites. Context: The Avvites, referred to by the Hebrew term עַוִּי (Avvi), were an ancient people who inhabited the land of Canaan prior to the Israelite conquest. They are specifically mentioned in the context of the territories that were conquered by the Israelites. In the Bible, the Avvites are noted in Joshua 13:3, which states, "from the Shihor east of Egypt to the territory of Ekron northward, all of it counted as Canaanite; the five rulers of the Philistines—the Gazites, Ashdodites, Ashkelonites, Gittites, and Ekronites; and the Avvites." This passage highlights the geographical location of the Avvites among other Canaanite tribes and Philistine rulers. The Avvites were eventually displaced by the Caphtorites, as mentioned in Deuteronomy 2:23: "And as for the Avvites who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorites who came from Crete destroyed them and settled in their place." This indicates a historical transition in the region, with the Avvites being overtaken by another group. The Avvites are part of the broader narrative of the conquest and settlement of Canaan by the Israelites, illustrating the complex interactions between different peoples in the ancient Near East.
