PERIZZITES.—According to the frequently recurring list of the Deuteronomic editors, one of the pre-Israelitish nations of Palestine (cf. Exo_3:8; Exo_3:17; Exo_23:23; Exo_33:2; Exo_34:11, Deu_20:17, Jos_3:10; Jos_24:11). The Perizzites, however, do not appear anywhere definitely in the history. Because in Gen_15:20 and Jos_17:15 they are mentioned with the Rephaim, some have inferred that they were one of the pre-Semitic tribes of Palestine. In the J [Note: Jahwist.] document the Perizzites are three times mentioned with the Canaanites (Gen_13:7; Gen_34:30, Jdg_1:4). The name ‘Perizzite’ (in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] of 1Es_8:69, 2Es_1:21, and AV [Note: Authorized Version.] of Jdt_5:16 Pherezite(s)) is in Hebrew almost identical with a word meaning ‘dweller in an unwalled village,’ hence Moore (on Jdg_1:5) has suggested that they were Canaanite agriculturists, living in unwalled towns, and not a separate tribe. This view is most probable.

The ancient inhabitants of Palestine, mingled with the Canaanites. There is also a great probability that they themselves were Canaanites, but, having no fixed habitations, were wandering about here and there, and scattered over all the country. Thus, in the time of Abraham and Lot, the Canaanite and Perizzite were in the land, Gen_13:7; Jos_17:15. Solomon subdued the remains of the Canaanites and Perizzites, which the children of Israel had not rooted out, and made them tributary to him, 1Ki_9:20-21; 2Ch_8:7. There still remained some of this people as late as the time of Ezr_9:1.

The Perizzites were one of many Canaanite groups that occupied Canaan before the Israelites drove them out (Gen_13:7; Gen_15:20; Exo_3:8; Deu_7:1; Jos_3:10). They lived mainly in the hills of central Palestine and are found in Bible narratives concerning Bethel, Shechem and the tribal territory of Ephraim (Gen_13:2-7; Gen_34:26-30; Jos_17:15). They were used as slaves in Solomon’s building programs and were eventually absorbed into Israel (1Ki_9:20-21).
