“In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:”
The geographic summary of western conquest — In the hill country, and in the Shephelah, and in the Arabah, in the heights, and in the desert, and in the Negeb; the land of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. The geographic regions—hill country, coastal plain (Shephelah), rift valley (Arabah), heights, desert, Negeb—encompass all terrain. The ethnic listing—Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, Jebusites—names all the peoples of Canaan. The thoroughness of the listing mirrors the completeness of the conquest.
