They are frequently mentioned in the Old Testament as one of the Canaanite tribes inhabiting the Promised Land before the arrival of the Israelites. The Hittites were known for their advanced culture, legal systems, and military prowess. They played a significant role in the history of the ancient Near East, interacting with other major powers such as Egypt and Assyria.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
