1:7 The hill country consisted of interior areas of Canaan that were also inhabited by the Amorites (see 1:4; Num 13:29; Josh 10:6). The Canaanites apparently once lived throughout Palestine, but with the incursion of the Amorites they were restricted to the valleys and lowlands. • the western foothills: Hebrew the Shephelah, the term still used in modern Israel for the region between the hills of Judah and the coastal plain, an area that specializes in orchards and vineyards. • the Negev: This great desert area lies to the south of Canaan. The Hebrew word could also designate “the south.”
