The Hittites (also Hethites) and Children of Heth, translating
Hebrew HTY and BNY-HT are the second of the eleven
Canaanite nations in the
Hebrew Bible. They are purportedly descended from one Heth , a son of
Canaan, son of
Ham, and they are mentioned in
Genesis as having sold land to
Abraham.In the early 20th century, the Biblical Hittites were identified with a newly discovered
Indo-European-speaking empire of
Anatolia, a major regional power through most of the 2nd millennium BC, who therefore came to be known as the
Hittites. This nomenclature is used today as a matter of convention, regardless of debates about possible identities between the Anatolian Hittite Empire and the Biblical Hittites.
