“The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.”
The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan' — the enumeration of Canaan's peoples by region presents a comprehensive occupational picture; from the perspective of faith, these nations stand as heirs of the Canaanite dispossession promised to Abraham; from the perspective of fear, they represent an unconquerable confederacy.
