Bible Q

Who were the people to be defeated by Israel when they entered the Promised Land?

The following nations  are mentioned in the Bible as either to be driven out of the Promised Land by God or by the Israelites:

  • Amorites
  • Hittites
  • Perizzites
  • Canaanites
  • Hivites
  • Jebusites
  • Girgashite

See, e.g., Ex. 23:23; Deut. 7:1. Other territory and nations are mentioned in Joshua 13:2-6 (including the Philistines and the Sidonians).

As it happens, Israel, for various reasons, didn’t totally drive out these other nations from the Promised Land; see, e.g., 1 Kings 9:20-21.
