# Hivite #

## Facts: ##

The Hivites were one of seven major people groups living in the land of Canaan.

* Like all these groups, the Hivites were descended from Canaan, who was Noah's grandson.
* Shechem the Hivite raped Jacob's daughter Dinah, and her brothers killed many Hivites in revenge.
* When Joshua led the Israelites to take over the land of Canaan, the Israelites were tricked into making a treaty with the Hivites instead of conquering them.
