Genesis 10:16

the Jebusite The Canaanite tribe dwelling in Jerusalem and its neighbourhood: cf. Joshua 15:63; Judges 1:21; 2 Samuel 5:6.

the Amorite In the Tel-el-Amarna tablets the name Amurruis given to the dwellers in the north of Canaan in distinction from the Kinaḥi, the dwellers in southern Canaan. Later on, the name Amorite seems to have been used by the Assyrians to designate Palestine. In the O.T. the original inhabitants of Canaan are sometimes called by this name; e.g. Judges 1:34-36; Amos 2:9. See Driver, Schweich Lectures, p. 36.

the Girgashite Mentioned e.g. Genesis 15:21; Deuteronomy 7:1, with the other dwellers in Canaan, but their locality is not indicated.
