Geography, a term of relation, denoting such inhabitants of the earth as have their shadows falling but one way, as those who live between the tropics and polar circles; whose shadows at noon in north latitude are always to the northward, and in south latitude to the southward.

Heth, the father of the Hittites, was the eldest son of Canaan (Gen. x. 15.), and dwelt southward of the promised land, at Hebron or thereabouts. Ephron, an inhabitant of Hebron, was of the race of Heth, and this whole city in Abraham's time was peopled by the children of Heth. There are some who maintain that there was a city called Heth, but we find no footsteps of it in the Scripture.

Hetruria, and Etruria, a celebrated country of Italy, at the west of the Tyber. It originally contained 12 different nations, which had each their respective monarch. Their names were Veientes, Clusini, Perusini, Cortonenses, Arretini, Vetuloni, Volaterrani, Rufellani, Volcini, Tarquinii, Falisci, and Cretoni. The inhabitants were particularly famous for their superstition and strict confidence in omens, dreams, auguries; HEVÆI, in Ancient Geography, one of the seven tribes who occupied Canaan; a principal and numerous people, and the same with the Kadmonæi, dwelling at the foot of Hermon and part of Libanus, or between Libanus and Hermon (Judges iii. 3.). To that Bochart refers the fables concerning Cadmus and his wife Harmonia, or Hermonia, changed to serpents; the Hevi denoting a wild beast, such as is a serpent. Cadmus, who is said to have carried the use of letters to Greece, seems to have been a Kadmonæan; of whom the Greeks say that he came to their country from Phoenicia.
