«/b»The «b»Hittites«/b» (also «b»Hethites«/b») and «b»children of Heth«/b» are a people or peoples mentioned in the «u»Hebrew Bible «/u». They are listed in «u»Book of Genesis «/u» as second of the eleven «u»Canaanite «/u» nations, descended from one «b»Heth«/b» («i»«/i» «i»«/i» in the consonant-only «u»Hebrew script «/u»). Under the names «i» -«/i» («i»BNY-«/i» "children of Heth") or «i»«/i» («i»«/i» "native of Heth") they are mentioned several times as living in or near «u»Canaan «/u» since the time of «u»Abraham «/u» (estimated to be between «u»2000 BC «/u» and «u»1500 BC «/u») to the time of «u»Ezra «/u» after the return from the «u»Babylonian exile «/u» (around «u»450 BC «/u»). Heth («u»Hebrew «/u»: , «u»Modern «/u» «i»«/i» «u»Tiberian «/u» «i»«/i») is said in Genesis to be a son of «u»Canaan «/u», son of «u»Ham «/u», son of «u»Noah «/u».
In the early 20th century, the Biblical Hittites were identified with a newly discovered «u»Indo-European «/u»-speaking empire of «u»Anatolia «/u», a major regional power through most of the 2nd millennium BC, who therefore came to be known as the «u»Hittites «/u». 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.
