The Peoples of the Promise
Commentators identify the groups listed as specific, historical peoples. The Hittites were descendants of Canaan's son Heth, living near Hebron. The Perizzites were rural people living in the wooded country. The Rephaim were known as "giants," a formidable people dwelling nearby. This list grounds God's promise in real-world geography and history.
