Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root word פָּרַז (paraz), which means "to separate" or "to be unwalled."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew term "Perizzi" in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as the term specifically refers to a Canaanite tribe and is typically transliterated in Greek texts. However, the concept of the Canaanite peoples, including the Perizzites, is often encompassed in the Greek term Χαναναῖος (G5477 • Chananaios), which refers to the Canaanites in general. Usage: The Perizzites are frequently mentioned in the Old Testament as one of the indigenous peoples of Canaan. They are often listed among the nations that the Israelites encountered and were commanded to drive out of the Promised Land. Context: The Perizzites were one of the several Canaanite tribes that occupied the land of Canaan before the arrival of the Israelites. They are often mentioned alongside other Canaanite groups such as the Hittites, Amorites, Jebusites, Hivites, and Girgashites. The Perizzites are first mentioned in Genesis 13:7, where they are noted as dwelling in the land alongside the Canaanites during the time of Abram and Lot. In the conquest narratives, the Perizzites are listed among the peoples that God promised to drive out before the Israelites (Exodus 3:8, 17; 23:23; 33:2; 34:11). The Israelites were instructed to make no covenant with them and to destroy their altars (Deuteronomy 7:1-3). The Perizzites are also mentioned in the context of the land distribution among the tribes of Israel (Joshua 17:15; Judges 1:4-5). Despite the command to drive them out, some Perizzites remained in the land and were subjected to forced labor (1 Kings 9:20-21). The presence of the Perizzites in the biblical narrative underscores the challenges faced by the Israelites in fully possessing the land and maintaining their covenantal obligations.
