( , and so Josephus, Ant. 1, 6, 2), a son (descendant) of Canaan, and the ancestor of the HITTITES (Gen 5:20; Deu 7:1; Jos 1:4), who dwelt in the vicinity of Hebron (Gen 23:3; Gen 23:7; Gen 25:10). The kings of the Hittites is spoken of all the Canaanitish kings (2Ki 2:6). In the genealogical tables of Genesis 10 and 1 Chronicles 1, Heth is named as a son of Canaan, younger than Zidon the firstborn, but preceding the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the other Canaanitish-families. The Hittites were therefore a Hamitic race, neither of the country nor the kindred of Abraham and Isaac (Gen 24:3-4; Gen 28:1-2). In the earliest historical mention of the nation the beautiful narrative of Abraham’s purchase of the cave of Machpelah they are styled, not Hittites, but Bene-Cheth (A.V. sons and children of Heth, Gen 23:3; Gen 23:5; Gen 23:7; Gen 23:10; Gen 23:16; Gen 23:18; Gen 23:20; Gen 25:10; Gen 49:32). Once we hear of the daughters of Heth (Gen 27:46), the daughters of the land, at that early period still called, after their less immediate progenitor, daughters of Canaan (Gen 28:1; Gen 28:8, compared with Gen 27:46, and Gen 26:34-35; see also 1Ki 11:1; Eze 16:3). In the Egyptian monuments the name Chat is said to stand for Palestine (Bunsen, Egypten, quoted by Ewald, Gesch. 1, 317, note). SEE HITTITE.<\/p>\n

But the race enlarged its borders so that they with the Amorites represent all Canaan (Jos 1:4; Eze 16:3, “thy father was an Amorite, thy mother an Hittite”.) See Gen 23:3-20. Esau’s marriage to one of the daughters of Heth “grieved the mind” of Isaac and Rebekah, for their morals were lax and their worship idolatrous (Gen 26:34-35; Gen 27:46). In Solomon’s and in Joram’s times there were independent Hittite kings (1Ki 10:29; 2Ki 7:6). In the Egyptian monuments they are called the Kheta, who made themselves masters of Syria.<\/p>\n HETH.A son of Canaan, Gen 10:15 (J [Note: Jahwist.] ) = 1Ch 1:13. The wives of Esau are called in Gen 27:46 (R [Note: Redactor.] ) daughters of Heth; and in Gen 23:3 ff; Gen 25:10; Gen 49:32 (all P [Note: Priestly Narrative.] ) children of Heth, i.e. Hittites, are located at Mamre.

As the various peoples who occupied Canaan were thought to belong to one stock, Gen 10:15 (1Ch 1:13) makes Heth the (2nd) son of Canaan. In Gen 23 the sons of Heth occupy Hebron, but they were known to have come there from the north. A reference to this seems to be preserved in the order of the names in Gen 10:15, Gen 10:16, where Heth is placed between Sidon and the Jebusites.
