Genesis 10:15-18
King James Version
15 And Canaan begat Sidon his first born,
and Heth,
16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite,
and the Girgasite,
17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite,
and the Hamathite:
and afterward were the families of the Canaanites
spread abroad.
Canaan is the grandson of Noah.
Canaan's father is Ham, one of the sons of Noah.
This post will feature the sons, and descendants of Canaan.
Canaan's sons:
Sidon (Zidon) -- "father of the Sidonians (Zidonians) and Phoenicians"
Heth -- "ancestor of the Hittites (a Hamitic race)"
Canaan's descendants:
Jebusites -- "At the time of the arrival of the Israelites in Canaan, they were ruled by Adonizedek (Joshua 10:1, 23). They were defeated by Joshua, and their king was slain; but they were not entirely driven out of Jebus till the time of David, who made it the capital of his kingdom instead of Hebron."
Amorite -- "warlike mountaineers. They are represented on the Egyptian monuments with fair skins, light hair, blue eyes, curved or hooked noses, and pointed beards. They are supposed to have been men of great stature; their king, Og, is described by Moses as the last “of the remnant of the giants”
Girgasite -- "a branch of the great family of the Hivites"
Hivite -- "probably a branch of the Hittites"
Arkite -- "descendants from the Phoenicians or Sidonians, the inhabitants of Arka (Erek), 12 miles north of Tripoli, opposite the northern end of Lebanon"
Sinite -- "an inhabitant of Sin, near Arka"
Ezekiel 27:8
King James Version
8 The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad
were thy mariners:
thy wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee,
were thy pilots.
Zemarite -- one of the Phoenician tribes, who inhabited the town of Sumra, at the western base of the Lebanon range
2 Kings 17:29-30
King James Version
29 Howbeit every nation made gods of their own,
and put them in the houses of the high places
which the Samaritans had made,
every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
30 And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth,
and the men of Cuth made Nergal,
and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
The future of the Canaanites?
Deuteronomy 20:16-17
King James Version
16 But of the cities of these people,
which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance,
thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them;
namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites,
the Canaanites, and the Perizzites,
the Hivites, and the Jebusites;
as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee:
But not all will perish.
Not all will be shut out from GOD's house.
If they are like these "exceptions".
