This concept is significant in understanding the cultural, social, and religious dynamics present in biblical narratives. The Bible frequently addresses the relationship between the Israelites and the native inhabitants of the lands they encounter, particularly in the context of the Promised Land. Native Inhabitants of Canaan The land of Canaan, promised to the descendants of Abraham, was inhabited by various native groups, including the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. These groups are often collectively referred to as the Canaanites. The Israelites' interactions with these native peoples are a recurring theme in the Old Testament. God commanded the Israelites to drive out the native inhabitants to avoid being led astray by their idolatrous practices. In <a href="/exodus/23-31.htm">Exodus 23:31-33</a> , God instructs, "I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the Euphrates. For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out before you. You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods." Native Customs and Practices The Bible often contrasts the customs and religious practices of native peoples with those commanded by God to the Israelites. The native inhabitants of Canaan practiced idolatry and other rituals that were abominable to the Lord. <a href="/leviticus/18-24.htm">Leviticus 18:24-25</a> warns the Israelites, "Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for by all these things the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves. Even the land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its iniquity, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants." Treatment of Native Peoples While the Israelites were commanded to conquer the land of Canaan, the Bible also provides guidelines for the treatment of native peoples who lived among them. The Israelites were instructed to treat foreigners and sojourners with justice and compassion. <a href="/leviticus/19-33.htm">Leviticus 19:33-34</a> states, "When a foreigner resides with you in your land, you must not oppress him. You must treat the foreigner living among you as native-born and love him as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God." Native Israelites The term "native" is also used to describe those who are naturally born into the Israelite community. This distinction is important in the context of religious observances and covenantal identity. For example, in the observance of the Passover, <a href="/exodus/12-48.htm">Exodus 12:48</a> specifies, "If a foreigner residing among you wants to celebrate the LORD’s Passover, all the males in his household must be circumcised; then he may take part, like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised man may eat of it." Spiritual Implications The concept of being "native" in the biblical sense extends beyond ethnicity or birthplace. It encompasses a spiritual identity rooted in the covenant relationship with God. The New Testament expands this idea, emphasizing that through faith in Christ, believers become part of the spiritual "Israel," regardless of their ethnic or national origin. <a href="/galatians/3-28.htm">Galatians 3:28-29</a> declares, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise." In summary, the biblical concept of "native" encompasses both the physical inhabitants of a land and the spiritual identity of those who belong to God's covenant community. The Bible provides a framework for understanding the complex interactions between native peoples and the Israelites, emphasizing themes of obedience, justice, and inclusion in God's redemptive plan.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
