The opening as it read in 2005
Hivites were one of the peoples displaced by the Hebrew conquest of Canaan . They may have consisted of Kadmonites, Kenites, Kenizzites, and Rephaims. It is probable that they were a branch of the Hittites . They subsequently disappeared as a people, although there were still Hivite communities at the time of King Solomon . v t e1

The opening as it stood in 2010 4 passages from the previous snapshot no longer appear
The Hivites were one group of descendants of Canaan , son of Ham , according to the Table of Nations in Genesis 10 (esp. 10:17).Genesis 15:18–21 does not list the Hivites as being in the land that was promised to the descendants of Abraham.However, some 100 years later, Genesis 36:2 mentions that one of Esau 's wives was " Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite" who is also described as "of the daughters of Canaan".The reference to "the daughters of Canaan" is considered to relate to their descent from the ancestor Canaan and to be a reference to a cultural distinctiveness or tribal affiliation, more than a reference to the geographical area of Canaan.By the time that Jacob returns with his family to Canaan, Genesis 34 describes Hivites as rulers of the region of Shechem .From the Book of Joshua , we know that the Hivites were one of seven national groups living in the land of Canaan when the Israelites under Joshua commenced their conquest of the land.( Joshua 9:1 ) They are referred to as one of the seven nations to be removed from the land of Canaan - Hittites (Neo-Hittites), Girgashites , Amorites , Canaanites , Perizzites , Hivites and Jebusites ( Exodus 34:11 , 23:23 , Deuteronomy 7:1–3 ) - and whose land had been promised to the Children of Israel.( Exodus 3:8 ) However, it appears that Hivites continued to be a separate cultural group within the land of Israel until at least the time of Solomon , and it is not clear if, when or how they ceased to be a separate group before the Israelite kingdoms came to an end.No name resembling Hivite has been found in Egyptian or Babylonian inscriptions.The group is not listed in the Hebrew text but appears in the Septuagint .
