--- Quote from: Falconn003 on October 14, 2008, 03:34:07 PM ---The Seven Nations to be removed from the PROMISED land of Canaan: Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.
Spiritual Enlightenment comes not from their names, but the meaning of their names.
the Hittite::one who is broken; who fears
the Girgashite ::
the Amorites::
the Canaanites::merchant,
the Perizzite meant rustics, dwellers in open, unwalled villages.
the Hivites::
the Jebusites::
Conquering fear, buying and selling, living open and unprotected. Are but 3/7 Spiritual Triumphs what are the other 4, i purposely left blank.
Having found another GEM in the articles written by Ray, all i am doing here is sharing it, and never am selfish, as to claim it for myself.
Peace and Understanding

Hello Rodger,
I'll give it a shot...Lord knows I do not understand completely yet but hope to soon:
the Girgashite :: "dwelling on a clayey soil" (earthly?)
the Amorites:: "a sayer" (From root 'amar H559; I like this definition: to say in one's heart; to boast; to act proudly)
the Hivites:: "villagers" ?
the Jebusites:: "descendants of Jebus" (Definition of Jebus: "threshing place"; Jebus comes from root H947 which is a verb that means 'to trample down; reject; to thread down; kick out)
That's all I got...hopefully others can fill me in. :)
Thanks,
Marques

From the jewish enclopedia: HIVITES
One of the Canaanitic nations dispossessed by the children of Israel (Gen. x. 17; Ex. xxiii. 23, 28; et al.). In the Hebrew text the name occurs only in the singular; its meaning is, according to Gesenius, "the villager" (comp. , or, according to Ewald ("Gesch. des Volkes Israel," i. 318), "the midlander," the Hivites having previously inhabited central Palestine. The Hivite was the sixth son of Canaan (Gen. x. 17). In the first enumeration (Gen. xv. 19-21) of the nations which occupied Palestine in the time of Abraham, the Hivites are not mentioned. Hamor, the Prince of Shechem, was a Hivite; if the Hivites were Shechemites, they are represented as peaceful, credulous, and given to trade and cattle-raising (Gen. xxxiv. 2, 18-29). Like the Hittites, they held their assemblies in the gates of their cities (Gen. xxxiv. 20). Later, in the time of the conquest of Palestine by Joshua, fearing to meet the Israelites in battle, they resorted to stratagem; as they had been outwitted by the sons of Jacob, so they duped Joshua and all the Israelites (Josh. ix. 3-27). The Hivites had then four cities—Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim (Josh. ix. 17), situated a considerable distance apart. The Gibeonites were spared by Joshua on account of his oath. The Hivites spread toward the north of Palestine, their main body lying under Mount Hermon, in the land of Mizpeh (Josh. xi. 3), "in Mount Lebanon," from Baal-hermon to Hamath (Judges iii. 3). Joab, when numbering the Israelites, is stated to have come to the stronghold of Tyre and to all the cities of the Hivites (II Sam. xxiv. 7). Targ. Yer. Gen. x. 17 renders "ha-Ḥiwwi" by "Ṭeripola'e" (Tripolitans?).J. M. S
