Heth

Portrait of Heth

Heth is listed among the sons of Canaan. The children and sons of Heth were inhabitants of the land; Abraham spoke with them and they gave him the land of the double cave over against Mamre, that is Hebron, for four hundred pieces of silver as a place to bury his dead. Rebecca loathed her life because of the two daughters of Heth whom Esau had taken as wives.
