Genesis 34:2 הַֽחִוִּ֖י the Hivite

When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the region, saw her, he took her and lay with her by force.

Here: A people of Canaan who were there before Israel. The label marks Shechem as an outsider to Abraham's line, which matters for the marriage talks that follow (34:14).

Genesis 36:2 הַֽחִוִּֽי׃ the Hivite

Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite,

I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

Here: 'And the Hivite.' Linked in the Bible with Shechem (Gen 34) and Gibeon (Josh 9). Some think they were Hurrians, a non-Semitic people found across the region.

Exodus 3:17 וְהַחִוִּ֖י and the Hivite[s]

And I have promised to bring you up out of your affliction in Egypt, into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’

Here: Associated with Shechem (Gen 34:2), Gibeon (Josh 9:7) and the Lebanon and Hermon region. Some scholars link them with the Horites or Hurrians.

Exodus 13:5 וְהַחִוִּ֣י and the Hivite[s]

And when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites—the land He swore to your fathers that He would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey—you shall keep this service in this month.

Here: A group in central and northern Canaan, for example at Shechem and Gibeon. Some scholars connect them with the Hurrians.

Exodus 23:28 הַחִוִּ֧י the Hivite[s]

I will send the hornet before you to drive the Hivites and Canaanites and Hittites out of your way.

Here: 'The Hivite.' A singular name used for the whole people. Elsewhere Hivites are linked with Shechem (Gen 34:2) and Gibeon (Josh 9:7) in the central hill country, and with the Lebanon/Hermon region (Josh 11:3; Judg 3:3).

Exodus 33:2 הַחִוִּ֖י the Hivite[s]

And I will send an angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

Here: "The Hivite." The Bible places them at Shechem (Gen 34), at Gibeon (Josh 9), and in the Lebanon and Hermon area. Where they came from is debated.

Observe what I command you this day. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

When the LORD your God brings you into the land that you are entering to possess, and He drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you—

Here: 'And the Hivite.' The Bible links them with Shechem (Gen 34:2) and Gibeon (Josh 9:7). Their identity is unclear, and some connect them with the Horites or Hurrians.

Deuteronomy 20:17 הַחִוִּ֖י the Hivite[s]

For you must devote them to complete destruction—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—as the LORD your God has commanded you,

He continued, “This is how you will know that the living God is among you and that He will surely drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites.

Here: A people linked with Shechem (Gen 34:2) and Gibeon (Josh 9:7). Gibeon will soon make a treaty with Israel, so not every name on this list was in fact driven out.

Joshua 9:1 הַחִוִּ֖י the Hivite[s]

Now when news of this reached all the kings west of the Jordan—those in the hill country, the foothills, and all along the coast of the Great Sea toward Lebanon (the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites)—

Here: This name matters at once. The Gibeonites of the very next episode are Hivites (9:7). One of the groups named in this united front is about to break away from it.

Joshua 9:7 הַחִוִּ֑י the Hivite[s]

But the men of Israel said to the Hivites, “Perhaps you dwell near us. How can we make a treaty with you?”

Here: Singular with 'the', meaning the whole people. The narrator reveals here that the strangers are Hivites, one of the nations of Canaan that Israel was forbidden to make treaties with (Deut 7:1–2). The reader knows this; Israel does not.

Joshua 11:3 וְהַֽחִוִּי֙ and the Hivite[s]

to the Canaanites in the east and west; to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, and Jebusites in the hill country; and to the Hivites at the foot of Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

Here: 'And the Hivite'. Hivites are placed in several regions in the Bible (Gibeon in Josh 9:7; the Lebanon range in Judg 3:3). Here they are the northernmost group, at the foot of Mount Hermon.

Joshua 11:19 הַחִוִּ֖י the Hivite[s]

No city made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites living in Gibeon; all others were taken in battle.

Here: "The Hivite": a singular word standing for the whole people group. These are the Hivites of the Gibeon confederacy (9:7).

Joshua 12:8 הַחִוִּ֖י the Hivite[s]

the hill country, the foothills, the Arabah, the slopes, the wilderness, and the Negev—the lands of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites):

Joshua 24:11 הַֽחִוִּ֖י the Hivite[s]

the five rulers of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived in the mountains of Lebanon from Mount Baal-hermon to Lebo-hamath.

Here: 'And the Hivite'. A people listed among the pre-Israelite nations. Here it means the northern branch in the Lebanon highlands, not the Hivites of Gibeon or Shechem further south.

Judges 3:5 וְהַחִוִּ֖י and the Hivite[s]

Thus the Israelites continued to live among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

Here: Linked with Shechem (Gen 34:2), Gibeon (Josh 9:7) and the Lebanon–Hermon region (Judg 3:3). Gibeon is the group that tricked Israel into a treaty, which makes the name an uneasy one in a list about failing to keep separate.

2 Samuel 24:7 הַחִוִּ֖י the Hivite[s]

They went toward the fortress of Tyre and all the cities of the Hivites and Canaanites. Finally, they went on to the Negev of Judah, to Beersheba.
