The reference to the Sinites is found in the Table of Nations, which is a genealogical record of the descendants of Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and their distribution across the earth after the Flood. The specific mention of the Sinites is located in <a href="/genesis/10-17.htm">Genesis 10:17</a>: <br><br>"The Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites," (<a href="/genesis/10-17.htm">Genesis 10:17</a>).<br><br>The Sinites are listed among other Canaanite tribes, indicating their place within the broader Canaanite family. The Canaanites were known to inhabit the land of Canaan, which corresponds to the modern-day regions of Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and parts of Syria and Jordan. The Sinites, therefore, were part of this ancient Near Eastern cultural and ethnic group.<br><br>The exact location of the Sinites is not explicitly detailed in the biblical text, and as such, their precise historical and geographical context remains somewhat obscure. However, it is generally believed that they were located in the northern part of Canaan, possibly in the region that is now part of Lebanon. Some scholars suggest that the name "Sinite" may be connected to the ancient city of Sin or Siannu, which is mentioned in other ancient Near Eastern texts.<br><br>The Sinites, like other Canaanite tribes, were eventually displaced or absorbed by the Israelites during the conquest of Canaan under Joshua. The Canaanites, including the Sinites, were known for their polytheistic religious practices, which often stood in stark contrast to the monotheistic worship of Yahweh by the Israelites. This religious and cultural conflict is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, as the Israelites were repeatedly warned against adopting the idolatrous practices of the Canaanite peoples.<br><br>In the broader biblical narrative, the mention of the Sinites serves to underscore the diversity and complexity of the ancient Near Eastern world, as well as the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding the land of Canaan. The presence of various tribes and peoples in the land highlights the challenges faced by the Israelites in establishing themselves as a distinct nation devoted to the worship of the one true God.<br><br>While the Sinites themselves are not a focal point in the biblical account, their inclusion in the genealogical records of Genesis reflects the comprehensive nature of the biblical account of human history and the unfolding of God's redemptive plan through the descendants of Noah.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Sinite</span><p>a tribe of Canaanites, (<a href="/genesis/10-17.htm">Genesis 10:17</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/1-15.htm">1 Chronicles 1:15</a>) whose position is to be sought for in the northern part of the Lebanon district.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>An inhabitant of Sin, near Arka (<a href="/genesis/10-17.htm">Genesis 10:17</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/1-15.htm">1 Chronicles 1:15</a>).
