Bible Question: Can anyone tell me as quoted in Gen. 15:18, where the territory God is giving to Abram is in this present age. "the river of Egypt, the land of the Kinites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusties" (I know where the Euphrates and the Hittities are. |
Bible Answer: The river of Egypt is a small river also known as the Wadi of Egypt, smoewhat southwest of Gaza (40 miles) The Jebusites was the people of the city of Jerusalem. Some of the obscure names are also names connected with cities. Some like the Canaanites along the coast and the Rephaites were spread over several cities. Some people like the Hittites and Amorites came from kingdoms far north, but it was the combined land that was given to Abraham. Notice the similar list in Gen 10:15-19. There the territory is described. There the northern extent was Sidon, the southern was Gaza, and the east was about the Jordan valley. What was promised to Abraham is very similar with the extension to the Euphrates. The kingdoms in the hills on the east of the Jordan valley. (later to be Moab, Edom, and Ammon) do not seem top be included. Greentwiga |
