The Perizzites are a group of people mentioned many times in the Bible as having lived in Canaan before the arrival of the Jews. ==History== The Bible mentions a specific group of people who lived in the Promised land for many generations, from the time of Abraham (Gen. 13:7) even to the time of Ezra and Nehemiah (Ezra 9:1-2). However, the time during which they were mostly at odds with the Kingdom of Israel seems to be the time of Joshua into the early period of the Judges. It appears as though a peace between the Israelites and the Perizzites eventually came to pass, with intermarriage as well as religious conversion to idolatry as being part of this peace (Judges 3:5-6 Ezra 9:1-2). According to the Book of Joshua, the Perizzites were located in the hill country of Judah and Ephraim (Joshua 11:3 17:14-15). They were enslaved by Solomon. Their racial background and origins are unknown to us. There is only one possible extra-Biblical mention of the Perizzites, as the unidentified Pirati who are found in an Egyptian vocabulary list, and there is a remote possibility that the Perizzites may be found in a fragment from the Amarna letters. It is possible that their name had a generalized application: that is, it either referred to those who lived in villages (as opposed to being nomadic); or it referred to those whose origins were unknown; or Perizzite may refer to an amalgamation of several peoples. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Perizzite」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
