Genesis 10:15 - Exposition

And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn . A famous commercial and maritime town on the coast of Syria ( 1 Kings 5:6 ; 1 Chronicles 22:4 ; Isaiah 23:2 , Isaiah 23:4 , Isaiah 23:12 ; Ezekiel 27:8 ); here including Tyre. From the mention of the circumstance that Sidon was Canaan's firstborn, we may infer that in the rest of the table the order of seniority is not followed. And Heth . The father of the Hittites ( Genesis 23:3 , Genesis 23:5 ), identified by Egyptologers with the Kheta, a powerful Syrian tribe.
