Meaning

Perizzites villagers; dwellers in the open country, the Canaanitish nation inhabiting the fertile regions south and south-west of Carmel. "They were the graziers, farmers, and peasants of the time." They were to be driven out of the land by the descendants of Abraham (Gen 15:20; Ex 3:8, 17; 23:23; 33:2; 34:11). They are afterwards named among the conquered tribes (Josh 24:11). Still lingering in the land, however, they were reduced to servitude by Solomon (1Kings 9:20).
