Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary


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. See, further, Hittites.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


Son of Canaan, Ham's son; from whence sprung the Hittites, occupying the hill country of Judah near Hebron. 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.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.


Heth. (terror). The forefather of the nation of the Hittites. In the genealogical tables of Gen_10:15 and 1Ch_1:13, Heth is a son of Canaan. Gen_24:3-4; Gen_28:1-2.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


the father of the Hittites, was the eldest son of Canaan, Gen_10:15, and dwelt southward of the promised land, probably about Hebron. Ephron, who was an inhabitant of that city, was of the race of Heth; and in the time of Abraham the whole city were of the family of Heth.

Heth
(Heb. Chetf, חֶת, dread; Sept. (ὁ Χετταῖος, 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.
